I know this is preaching to the choir but this is a great #*@ bike. I was down to the Monster 1000 and the S3, rode them both at the same dealer and there was no contest. So now I need a few odds and ends.

Mirrors - Stock ones are not quite well engineered. So replacement options include the extensions from Jack Lilley, Rizoma bar ends or CRG bar ends?

Sliders - RinoMoto or the ones from Skyking?

Grab rail - found this on the TriumpheStore
Grab Rail

Screen - My first three hour ride on the highway confirmed that I need a windscreen but I want to uninstall it easily. Found MCJ but not sure if they can supply in white.

Luggage - Anyone check out Ventura-Bike?Ventura Luggage

Appreciate any suggestions.

CRG bar ends (LS model)

give the R&G racing fork, spindle and crash sliders a look over

I gave up on the flyscreen, wind spanked me everytime I hit the highway and I thought the flyscreen somehow competed with the bug-eyes for primary attention on the bike so I 'retired' mine.

This bike is so naked and unfriendly in the wind I wonder if there is a screen solution that works and is aesthetically pleasing?

I hear that the grab rail you have a link to was replaced by the 'T' grab rail available on the Triumph.co.uk/usa website because of some problem or other.

The CRGs sounds good. I am trying to find a R&G products distributor in the US.

I still will try the Italian windscreen. (As long as I can remove it easily.)

Thanks.

MCJ? That one comes with a metal bracket that needs to be bolted here & there, so if you want to do quick changes on the fly this might not be a good choice.

Have the Ventura ststem on my 05 S3 and it works great.Brackets are a bit out there when you don,t have your rack on but they are easily removed.Have had this system on previous bikes including my last bike(Daytona 955) and have never had any problems,only thing is always tend to take too much.

Received an email back from MCJ regarding windscreen installation.

"Hello,

the installation is easy."

Not much help but they may be the only game in town. Would like to hear from a user whether it really works.

Thanks for the note on the Ventura.
