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.
No I did get the same as what you have Dog33,

I like the speedo(what kind is that?) and the dual headlights. Pretty sweet.

Speedo is a white faced 60MM to match the Tacho from Mikes XS, sitting in a custom speedo bracket made for Harleys, the Duel lights are also a Harley part, the lights are wired up so both lights work all the time, on low and high, not all the Triumphs can do it, as you need to make sure your charging system works properly, and also because earlier ones don't charge as well as the later ones (or so I was informed by Triumph Australia)
and yes I'll get around to removing the reflectors one day, or just change my forks

Thanks for the kind words, Keith. Deanna took the photo though and she does the computer stuff as well. Yeah mate, the mirrors aren't the ones with the turn signals attached - just the straight mirror. Already enough lights on the ****** thing. lol
Looking forward to catching up over the summer, too.
Cheers mate

Good job Scott. That is one smooth looking Speedie! Man we've got some very talented people on this site. I do good to get a pair of Kuryaken grips on my bike.

thanks davespain, they are Biker's Choice Z bars, it was kind of a pain to put them on (needed 3 hands) i think mostly because the cables are stock length. had to swap the brake line over to the right side and had to re-route the throttle cable to gain an inch or two. i love them. they have a 4" rise and are swept back less than the stock bars, perfect for my monkey arms!

snekeptp how did you like the Corbin seat? I'm considering getting one like it for my Speedmaster. The stock seat's pillion is garbage and my wife likes to ride two-up with me.

DOGMAN, i liked the corbin, made the long rides really nice with the backrest.
many people complain about the firmness , and it was pretty stiff.
bit it did not bother me to much.
I rode the 700 miles to GA in one day more than one time.

My bike is a 2005. I have no clue who made the seat but I will look to see how it is mounted. I'd like to put a little bigger seat on it, something with slightly more cush for the tush. I need to do something about the pipes too...way too loud for my taste!
I swapped a vintage VW for it...it just seemed the right thing to do, a fun new experience. I put about 220 miles on it yesterday to attend the San Diego Mods vs Rockers event which was cool (although it really made me want a Thruxton or a T100 more than what Ive got...but then again the bike did look a bit different than anything else there and I saw some admirers).

Hello! I am new here. My Name is Julian and I come from Germany (sorry for my bad english). When I look at this Bike and many other, then I wonder how you get them so deep? Especially with the stock rear fender? Quote:

Welcome Julian, Your English is better than my German! They usually replace the stock shocks with shorter shocks. Somebody from across the pond could probably tell you where you can get them.
