I bought a relocator bracket for the rear indicators from New Bonneville. I though it attached behind the top shock mount - but the hole isn't big enough. Anyone fitted one of these? Where does it go?!?!?!? Planning to fit the front indicators (small billet alloys) in the original spot up front - but it may leave some holes exposed. Anyone come across this?

The whole reason for all this is I also bough the Lucas-type rear light from New Bonneville - which doesn't have it's own indicator mount. It's gonna look good though when it's done.

G'day eagle,
I fitted this type from Newbonneville and I'm pretty sure I removed the rear mudguard and I had to trim some of the plastic guard from around the holes with a stanley knife so the blinker bracket bolts would seat properly, other than that everything went together as it was supposed to.

OZBON you have a very nice looking ride! Are the handle bars comfortable for long rides? They sure are cool looking!!!

Thanks. Looks like there is a bolt behind the top shock mount. I'll investigate today - looks like a bit more stripping down than I expected. Anyway - it will help me get aquainted with my new T100!

rays323929 thanks for the compliments on my bike she's still, "a work in progress".
I find the Ace bars to be comfortable, I've had them on now for about 18 months, last year I did a 2000km trip over 4 days all you have to do is ride smart, flex hands and feet while riding, regular stops etc. Most weekends I'll ride about 5-600km (300mile), occasionally I may feel a little discomfort In my hand but it will usually only last for a minute or so.
The bar end mirrors I got from Brent at Newbonneville.com for about $25US. For me the mirrors work really well and I get very good vision behind me, even maxed-out at 185kph (113mph) as tested today (couldn't help myself) good vision no blurring.
My seat is stock, I just bought a $4.50 gold paint pen from a newsagent and coloured the raised portion of the TRIUMPH logo, however I have purchased the Air Tec 'Cafe' tail section and seat pan" from Newbonneville which is being painted and upholstered as we speak so stay tuned for pics, stay safe.
