| | Posted : 04 Sep 2011 - 15:42 Post title : Storm Accessories | | | After a month of perusing the web to find accessories, I think I just ordered the last one (for now anyway  I have heard rumblings from my wife about restricting the 'upgrade' budget). I will follow up with pictures when I get back from deployment and I install everything. Since I cannot ride now it has been great to prowl these forums for ideas and lessons learned with installs from other members. I have ordered the:
- Dual touring Corbin seat w/gunfighter backrest (Thanks for the info about the brown color Bedouin)
- Hardstreet Slimbags, EZ brackets, Spitfire sportshield, Joker gas cap (Thanks Fast Eddy for the order, advice and great customer service)
- Short TORs, Black teardrop mirrors from Triumph
- Tank badges from R3 (Thanks for the detailed install threads from Thatch, Hoorad and Birdy)
I rode the bike for a couple of weeks before I left and was absolutely thrilled by the performance and handling of the Storm compared with my old bike (Victory Jackpot). While I think that the aftermarket parts for TBird will only expand going forward, it is pretty slim pickings for now. Does anyone have any other good sources for aftermarket accessories (besides Triumph, British Customs and Fast Eddy)? I think that I am complete, but if anyone has any good experiences with other manufacturers or retailers please share.

I did that with my '07 TBA, never looked anywhere that didn't say "Triumph". There are lots of bike parts that will fit lots of bikes even if you have to make it work a little bit. For example, I haven't found exactly what I want for mirrors yet for my Storm, but I've been looking at lots of mirrors that aren't a "Thunderbird accessory" like bar end mirrors and such. I'm just saying, look around and keep an eye on everything because you might find something that you can make work on your bike that you like that just wasn't originally intended for it.
I too plan on getting the Hardstreet Slims with EZBs and a small screen, and am looking for the right seat. I'll probably end up calling Corbin to see if they can make me a gunfighter style solo seat, but that will be later. Best of luck, and if you're deploying anywhere near action - stay safe.

power link = usb charger4 phone or satnav, or the thinner bmw type (used by triumph too) power socket
buybits = all sorts of electrical bits inc above or rambolts for satnav etc
ebay for plenty of good tbird bits been a fantastic selection over the past few months
black and round - great tyre prices
