I see that Triumph's official site for Sixty8 is now up and running. The selection is better than I expected (Tornado cam covers!) and the prices, while not cheap, aren't prohibitive for OEM stuff, at least not as bad as I expected. I think I see gaiters ($38), cam covers (red or chrome $110) and a solo seat with rack ala Scrambler (minus the white piping $295) in my future. Maybe even an alternate tank badge for a change in my mood ($78).

The stuff might not be for everyone, but i think most of us will see at least one or two things that we like.

Some nice stuff, some I'm not too sure of (polycarbonate?) Best prices I've seen on tank badges, I think a set of red ones are in my future. I wont get one by I think the 68 tank cover is too cool. I think the navigation of the site could be better.

Some interesting stuff, I was also stunned when I realized their fancy saddlebags were $345 EACH...Ouch! I would like to see one of the tank covers in person, also curious what the leather tank guards are. I like the black Scrambler solo seat, the other seats are also interesting. The gaiters look good and are raelly inexpensive, especially for a Triumph bit.

I appreciate the extra effort Triumph put into the site itself, they are on the right track. Its still not quite good though, like some said hard to navigate, and one thing I have always hated about Triumphs accesories page is that you never get a picture of the whole bike with th epart on it, just a close up of the immediate area. I would like to see several overall shots of the parts on the bikes before I drop that much cash!!

***** I liked those the best out of all the accessories....I thought it was expensive at $345....but at $690 it becomes absurd.
