Pics are sorta funky due to having "vivid" set on the camera. But w/o it they were not showing the chrome like it was to the eye. So while a bit to saturated it's fairly close, tho it really looks a lot better in person. I'm just no good with a camera, and capturing what the max.
Anyway, the cam cover turned out to be exactly what this bike needed cosmetically and i think it's by far the best cosmetic addition you can make. It's stunning in person. The footpegs too are amazing, tho mainly on the performance end. (but they look great too)I cannot imagine going back to the stock pegs. The feel just like floorboard with the blade out, and with it in they still feel worlds better than stock. These 2 things are the best money i've spent on the bike aside from engine performance. I can't possibly tell you how highly i'd recommend both. Knowing what i know now i'd have been willing to pay a lot more for them. The bike is really coming along lately in both looks and performance. This is an addiction, but man o man is it a good one when you pick the right stuff!
By the way, once enough people have viewed these the site i used to upload them with shut the pics down for the day because they have a bandwidth limit. So if you don't see them they'll be available again tomorrow till it happens again, assuming more than several people look at this thread.

They're Kuryakyn switchblades. And i believe they fit all our bikes. In fact, they don't even show that they are for our bikes because as many aftermarket manufacturers do, they make somthing to fit a certain model, but then when the bike manufacturer comes out with more models that can use the same aftermarket product they never update thier vehicle list. for example when progressive made a \shock for the america, the speedy came out the next year but they never updated thier list. So thier site doesn't how it to fit the speedy but it does because they are both the same bike basically and use the exacvt same shock. So yes, they'l fit your bonnie i'm sure. In fact on the package it says for "adventurer, thunderbird sport, and legend ! So obvously they should fit any recent classic styled triumph since it appears they've been using the same pegs for years if they fit the classic triples. By the way, i'm not talking about the pegs here.....i'm talking about the adapters. The pegs themselves don't have any way to attach them to any bike w/o and adapter. The adapters come for many many bikes, so the pegs themselves are basically generic. the part numbers are 4446 for the pegs and 8840 for the triumph adapter.

I know. I swear that cover just looks so right on it which is why i'ms so suprised Triumph didn't do this stock. Especially considering the speedy is the most expensive of the twins.

Thanks 50yr. What i am discovering is how quickly little cosmetic things really add up to make the bike look great. So far i sanded and polished the lower triple clamp so it looks like chrome, removed the side reflectors front and back, (believe it or not that makes a considerable difference in making the bike look less cheesy) added progressive shocks which are as much a cosmetic boost as performance, clutch dresser, chrome licence plate frame, the chrome cam cover, the pegs, and maybe a few things i'm forgetting. But i look at the pics of my bike when it was stock and it looks so much better now. Gonna go for turn signals and mirrors next, and all the while thinking beyond that. I wanna get to where i can put it next to one of those $20k plus HD's and have it look as quality. Thats the one thing i admire about hD's....they really don't skimp on the details adding stainless and chrome wherever possible.

as i said in my 1st post, the site i uploaded my pics to has a bandwidth limitation. So they stop loading once a certain amount of views. I'll try and find another free site to upload them to.
