has anyone purchased the triumph chromed fork leg lowers??
I am thinking about doing mine and I have not seen ANY photos on any Tbird and not sure how they will look.
if you have, please add a photo here for all of us to see.

thanks..

do you think it would look good with the haze..

Sunnyday,

Love the red haze..... blue is faster though.
I think the stock lowers look OK but the chrome finishes it off very nicely.
Throw in some shorts TORS and Storm swing arm covers and your done.







Hope these help!

If you noticed a theme regarding chrome forks, it's that they look the best on the blue w/ white stripe ones.

Looking good there.

PS - everything looks good on a blue and white. Even mud.

Yeah I am now turned off that colour forever, seen it so many times in the last few days it is now etched when I shut my eyes, like looking at a bright light for too long.

BTW, Blue and White is the fastest.

I hope you don't get the chrome forks because then you will have to post another picture of your bike. The red haze is a common colour, I seem to be seeing it everywhere

Magpie,
Might be time to show him a picture of a real bike, dig out the shot of yours when you had the Dolly Parton headlights fitted up.
That should kick start the thread.

Yeah and it needs short Tors, bigger headlight, piss that dicky passenger seat off, change the colour to something a bit more Manly like Blue and White, chrome rims and some bug splatter. Then it's ready.
