Wheels are stock and the rear sets are from chainsickles. They are their new style.

Your bike looks great. I always love a good cafe rear end!

What have you done to the front forks? I am looking to raise mine up and really like the height on yours.

I've been coming back to this thread over and over since it started. I really like the way your bike turned out. I would like to build up a cafe style Sportster, but it won't be from my 1200C. I read the comments over at the Triumph forum and most were positive but I just can't understand the reasoning of some of the "suggestions" from others. Oh well. I will say that if I decide to get a fixer-upper I will be using your work as inspiration. Thanks for posing it.

This ^ plus it makes you look like a squid. never understood why anyone would mount their plate like that. it just screams "pull me over and waste my time/give me a ticket please"

gap between seat and tank looks a little goofy, Cool looking bike other than that.

It appears to be an RSD.
