New from Cincinnati-near, USA

Thank you and yes that has been a fear of mine since I got it. I do need to look into engine bars sooner rather than later. Any suggestions on where to look?

Yeah I read an article some time ago on the Thunderbird and when I went to Triumph's website to investigate I immediately fell in love with that color scheme. When I found it on a Rocket III I was thinking "yes, definitely you NEED that bike". So I sold the wifey on it and got to bring her home.

Go with the Genuine Triumph bars they are in my opinion better looking than the rivco ones, also quiet sturdy "NorthCountyYamaha" are a good Triumph dealer

Yet another Aussie welcome from the land down under, and I might just say Nice Bike Mate.

I got the OEM bars from my Dealer fitted at A$380.. 2yrs ago and they saved me a lot of Grief on a couple of occasions...

The trick if to forget the worry of dropping it because you will if you worry concentate on looking around for safe level and solid areas before you park.. believe me they take some lifting even at 45 degs with the engine bars fitted

The Guys here have given you some leads so check the prices but I would pay 500 to save the static damage that can be done to the Radiator, Ex Cans and hand levers etc.

Do it sooner rather than later Sir..

I wouldn't wait long, I'm finding a lot of the Triumph aftermarket parts are becoming obsolete and no longer available.
