Is there a kit out there to move the turn signals from the radiators to the forks or some other place that is more unobtrusive but visable?
The radiator end pieces are an eyesore also, Triumph even has the temerity to sell upgrades for this the ugliest part of the bike. They look just as bad!
The mirrors (from the Tiger!) are out of place on the S3 but that is an easy fix with bar end jobs.
Monkey hanger has a really nice rear end fix else where on the S3 forum.

If your S3 is so screwed up, why did you buy it? Maybe you should have looked for parts to change whatever you want to change before you bought the bike?
That way you wouldn't have anything to complain about.

just b/c he wants to complain doesnt mean he didnt make a good purchase or doesnt deserve the bike. triumph made some mistakes, so what. they should have painted the radiator end caps black, as well as the ankle protectors and especially the engine mount of the left side! in addition the headlights should mount to the forks to prevent them from sticking so far out in front of the bike. the gauge cluster should be replaced by either retro billet style tach and speedo or replaced with something like the Veypor. making a bike better and custom is the reason to have a bike to begin with. so Mad, i'd say its you who is complaining.

Funny how everyone is a pro level designer around here. If you don't like the styling, change it... :brk: Or sell the bike. Seems the things are selling well even with all the design "issues". If you can design it better... why are you not working for Triumph?

I agree, If the bike is so screwed up, why in the hell did you buy it? By your complaints it looks like you made a stupid mistake. Now you are stuck with a hunk of junk.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you your morons.

The bike is magnificent in all aspects. A little farkling does not hurt.
I am sure you bought the bike because you liked the tail end, the cheap mirrors and the idiotic placement of the front turn signals.
I did not. I bought the bike which is my 4th triumph in as many years because the bike is a kick ass bike. I enjoy flogging the heck out of it but is can be made a little better looking without all the stuff that looks like it was added in because Triumph had no idea where else to put it.

You know what? I fixed the mirrors, turn signals, and the rear. I did not peep one derrogatory word. I didn't complain. I didn't whine.

Now let's get back to business.
How can we move the front turn signals after we have undone the 2 screws.
Is there a bracket or a kit for moving them elsewhere or is this subject sacrosanct and Triumph has done the job so well there is nothing can be done or God forbid we actually change the bike and risk the rath of the non farklers out there.
