Tomorrow the UPS man delivers a much awaited box with two Triumph factory items I bought for myself for the holidays: a "skid plate" for the Scrambler, and a pair of "chromed bar end side mirrors" to replace the stock mirors. Anyone else treat themselves to something for their Triumph (or another bike) for the holidays?

I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my mini-fender w/LED tail lamp via BellaCorse. You guys oughta check it out, it's a fender eliminator kit.... that uses a fender.... and includes a very discrete tail lamp (I'm going with the Red lens)! I was going back & forth between a complete fender eliminator kit, or simply replacing my War-o-the Worlds Pod with a Lucas tail lamp, and then I stumbled onto this:

BellaCorse mini-fender

I received two boxes from UPS today. The small box had saddle bag brackets from New Bonneville. The larger box is from the Triumph Store. I ordered a King / Queen seat for my T-100 and received a seat for a Speedmaster. I am a little pissed off about the mix up, but will call them in the A.M. and see what they say!

I got a couple item's the other day, a really nice Omar's and all the needed bracketry for the mounting...including ignition relocation kit. Decided to use some small inconspicuous indicators for the front.

Oh...and I got a airhorn for the bike from wolo.

Yeah, about $6000 in engine mods for my racebike. Added to what I've already got invested in this thing, I could've gotten myself one of the new Ducati 1098's. But then people would expect me to actually be good. It's better to surprise a few people with an "antique" than to suck with the best bike ever devised!

Way to go 578. After running into a couple of cosmetic issue`s with making some high "hooligan" pipes,I decided to just go old skool and make a set of stepped drag pipes.[stock 1.5 up to 2.25"] If it would stop raining so I could weld them up [I weld outside] I`d have that other side done in less than an hour.

For myself, I ordered ...

S/S brake lines
front/rear pads
IKON fork springs

For Xmas (we did it early cause Family is spread out) ..

Dainese leather jacket
RevIt Celcius gloves
set of Pirelli sport demon tires
stock rims/hubs powdered coated black

I also picked up a spare gas tank a couple weeks back. Thinking I'm going to get a fiberglass front fender as well and have them painted something 'different' than what I have on the bike now. That way ) can ride a different bike whenever I feel like taking a couple hours to swap stuff around.

Ordered a centerstand from Hermy's on a Thursday, received it on the following Monday. Now much easier to do chain maintenance plus it fits in the shed better with the other bikes. Next up: engine guards.
