  1. Touring lights on a Roadster?

    Apologies if this has been covered already but if it had, I can't find it! On to my question. Has anyone fitted the 4.5 inch touring lights made for the R3T to a R3 Roadster? If so, how do they attach - to a set of front dresser bars? I just like the idea of having some extra illumination...

When I check the Triumph accessories site, here in Canuckistan, it claims there...
