Also, worth saying, it's not "Harley parts". It's aftermarket parts that fit the Harley standard way of mounting.
The aftermarket third-party manfactured accessories that fit those bikes stupidly huge. Looking at your American Iron magazine or Hot Bike or whatnot there is page after page of ads for various aftermarket doodads. Some of them look to be high quality and would be great to have as an option. I can't even buy some ****ed pannier guards or front mudguard extension or the other minimal accessories Triumph made for the R3T because they've stopped making them, and there's zip in the way of aftermarket.

I like it, just my type of look. I don't have T-bars yet, but plan to get some as a future Upgrade. I'm 6'4" tall & 230lbs. It's nice to get an idea of what it'll look like, (sort of). I'm not sure how I'll personalize my bike in the future, but I consider the 2011 R3R to be a Sport Muscle Cruiser Bike. To me, this ADDs some more Muscle look to the entire look of the bike. As far as the work JSHRAM has put into his bike, BRAVO!!!!!
Work done well, I'm sure if Triumph Aftermarket had already made mod kits for this function, some parts prices might be more in line with Harley. Not sure if I said that right, but hopefully it still is taken the way I meant it.
There are aftermarket parts for just about everything, and they're not always made perfectly. A bit of altering here and there makes an entirely new look or makes the part work better, because many parts are under engineered to be generic, so more will buy the product.
