Thanks. I've been collecting them for a while now.

How often do you have to clean your keyboard and monitor off...

wow, really nice collection, there are some sweet looking rides in there.

Ooh a chance to post my bike!
I know he dont have mine

He dont have this one either...haha

Boys, this isn't a popularity contest.

haha...thats exactly what a forum about motorcycles is for

OK Dan...youll see a ton of great bobber pics getting posted up in this thread but you wont see too many going the other direction (unless my little comment here gets them motivated).

Heres mine. Since this pic there have been minor changes so see the accompanying smaller detail pics...




MY FIRST MOD...PAINTED CARBS


BEFORE & AFTER TRI BAR LIGHTS


NEW KURY LIGHTS & LAY DOWN LICENSE PLATE




LEMME GIVE YOU A TIP ( )


WORK IN PROGRESS (SLOW PROGRESS)

You need to go back and read his opinions of "custom" vs "accessorized". (which I happen to agree with)

Ya, I used to skip this catagory cause I wasn't the least bit interested in issues of getting ones bike through customs.
(after all, I'm not leaving the good ol' USA.)

"cutom...".
I JUST caught that. (I'm a little slow )

Don't worry, Zdenko, I love your bike. It IS cool and that is indeed the title of my album, but I really focus more on customs. I don't have pictures of my own bike in that gallery.

Keith, your bike is lovely, too. In my personal dictionary custom means, in a nutshell, "squirt paint or cut metal." Bolt-ons are accessories resulting in a personalized bike, unless you made the accessory yourself (say, a bracket) by, you guesseed it, "squirting paint or cutting metal."

I hold my own bike to a higher standard even though I've squirted custom paint and fabbed up some of my own parts. I don't think of it as custom either. But I probably will consider it custom when the next set of tin is done, and THAT might actually, finally see some movement this weekend (crap it's been a long wait). I'm hoping to get the dash shaved and the new filler bung welded this weekend. And maybe that other mod I ain't gonna mention until it's done.

Here's a full custom for ya'...

Is this the type of thing your chasing as a custom build, yeah I know its not a Triumph, but it is mine

this ones my favorite

hey midnight, dont happen to hang around the chopper australia site , good to see you here , thought i'd seen that bike before

Here is my girl.

I like it! Not many people bob the rear fender AND the rear fender struts.

Thank you, I like using a dremel and sawzall. My fellow neighbors in my APT like too.

Ya know Damien, to me that rear end almost gives the bike a bad a$$, down and dirty army sort of look, if you will. Tough and rugged... a machine to contend with. I like it!!!

Wow... lowering really changes things!

Here's my '03 America.



I'm still trying to figure out what I am going to do with the back fender...

Cheers,
Steven

Hey Steven, got more pics?
Would like to see some more angles... if you can.

some shots of Wendy's bike, lowered 2" as well as the other mods.

Oil pressure gauge I made.



Turn signals and pewter rose lic. plate bolts I made.

Front signal mounts I made.



Risers I machines adapters for.


Sprocket cover I made from a Foreman grill cover and pewter blue dot. It will light up blue from behind.


Whole bike.


Also has rose bar ends, roses on the tank bib,wires hidden inside the bars, lowered 2",flame stalked spike mirrors,and probably a few things I forgot. Going to have pewter handcuffs on the back of the sissy bar when I get to it.

What are the Tank badges off?
A Thunderbird?

Those were offered as after market for our bikes. I think they were stock on Bonnevilles.

Ok thanks for that, I've never seen a set of them for sale here in Australia

They are available here as well about $100 i think
Try you local Triumph dealer (custom badges)

Thanks Boof, ordered and they say will be delivered next week $160
They are a lot nicer looking then the standard Triumph script, just a shame the (R) doesn't scroll around to where it should finish

Oh, I misunderstood, I thought you meant the badges on Wendy's bike. Those were not stock on the Bonnevilles but still were available aftermarket for ours. Did you order them from Triumph? I thought they stopped offering those.
