Anyone using these? http://www.british-customs.com/triumph-a...sh-customs.html What lights do you have mounted? I have the Rivco ones, but I like the hidden look of these and my Rivco ones are pitting like no tomorrow.
Oh man!! I'm going to jail!!

BCarnage has them, but they're mounted on the front rather as instructed because they hit the factory crash bar at full steering lock. I'm surprised he doesn't have any closeups of the lights in his member thread: http://www.bonnevilleamerica.com/forums/...0&fpart=all

I have them - just used the stock turn signals. No issues with them so far.

I'm surprised I don't have any pics of those on there either. I'll have to get to that.  The stock signals fit right in them. No drilling. The signals I have now, I had to drill them out just slightly. Not a big deal though.

Do you know what size stalk your signals had? I want to make sure they will fit the lights I am thinking of getting. I can drill a little, but want to make sure its not too much.

I had to drill out to 3/8" to mount other signals. I think the holes were about 5/16" or whatever the closest metric equivalent is.

Here they are. They go on real easy. Use used the silver bullets for turn signals.

You have the front end of your bike done up sooooo nice, Doug. Love it!
Live to love, love to live.

Thanks. All you have to do is decide that a front fender is useless, grind off the fender mounts, polish the forks on a polishing wheel(or chrome them), cut the spacer down about an inch with a progressive front fork kit and mortgage up your house for a 21" front wheel. And ditch the speedo and replace the front handle bars. Then...repeat everything on the rear of the bike so it rides better than stock. Today I had my son clock me at 114mph on an isolated road with my Honda S2000. This was from a rolling start in first gear for just over a 1/4 mile. And it was still pulling. Big CR carbs and BC's intake work well.

Well worth the effort!  CR carbs you say? How do you like them? I was thinking about them, but heard they were hard to dial in... Worth the investment? What else have you done to the engine?
