From the day I got this bike, I thought that Triumph did a great job on all areas of this bike but just quit at the driveline. A simple grey chain and a plain finish sunstar sprocket on the rear. It just looked unfinished to me.

I decided to replace the chain with a Regina gold Z Ring. The nuts were replaced with Driven Racing nuts, and the stock sprocket was replaced with a stock Cerakoted sprocket to make the color match the bike. It looks much more refined to me now.
The gold chain really works on the bike. I don't mind the driveline as it is now, but changing the chain color really pops the bronze accents already on the bike.
I totally agree with MX429 and am looking into getting a black sprocket. I'm not enamored of gold chains they tend to loose their color after a while. I'm going with a black chain.
Seriously, really nice idea, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Triumph do something like this later. I too think the driveline looks a little unfinished.
Sorry to be a pain MX429 is that replacement sprocket a Triumph part I know you say it’s stock but do you mean a genuine Triumph and if so do you a a part number please.

No problem! Yes, it is an OEM sprocket. I just ordered the stock replacement and sent it to be coated. I bought a new one because I didn’t want to be without the bike while I waited.

So I’ve seen a few springer seat mods here. Love the look. The biggest problem with the Bobber and a springer seat is its doesn’t have the tube frame that crosses behind seat that most spring seats mount to. So I figured I would make one. Bought some flat and round stock steel. Gonna weld it up...
