Geelong makes rad shrouds, as well as, Triumph ROCKET Carbon Fiber Parts Index.

Can't speak on the quality of either....yet.

I bet they are getting them from the same place i can because it is the exact same pic

and I can get them for half that price and the infill panels they have i think where $100 on the other site...

Check out the cool stainless steel radiator covers made by our very own @hogweed.
He does them in polished stainless or black.

I really like the looks of that wheel, but it would defeat the purpose of the improved rake/lower front stance of the switch a lot have made to the smaller front tire - Unless you went with a lower profile front tire on the 18" wheel, and we all know that would fock up the ride quality because lower profile tires hold less air volume AND are harder to balance too, causing a much rougher ride.

BST wheels are on the list of "eventually" mods. Getting the beast under 700lb wet would be "mission accomplished" in my view.

Me thinks it'll take more than the BSTs on top of what I've already done to get there though. There are a few more areas to attack, I think the next 15lbs will still be pretty easy, after that though, it'll get hard, expensive, and be custom work. Looks like the 715lb mark is where it starts getting challenging.

I really need to get weighed now and see how far off I am.
