The other thread is about Tool bags or bags. I used the Triumph high handle bar kit which is longer brake, clutch, and 3 electrical wires. Ive done my own on older bikes but with throttle by wire, ABS, modes, traction control etc. I didn't dare.
You have to remove the tank and it takes a couple hours! The licence plate folds forward but does not go vertical which is now illegal in many states!

Yikes, are those the apes Triumph as on their catalogue? (Part # A9630250) If so, how much rise do they have? How far back are they? Got a side profile picture?
I ordered mine when the bike was delivered and was told it'll be a few weeks; a few weeks turned into an April 1st availability and now I'm told it'll be May 7th at the earliest
Was also told that the Factory Service Manual would not be available for a couple of months at least...
Never had a problem getting parts for my Harleys; is this a sign of things to come?

Looks great! How comfortable is that seat compared to the one it came with?

The Statement seat is very comfortable, you can easily ride till the tank is dry. The stock seat has more padding, is slightly wider, and has a little more back support so it is a little more comfortable!
As far as handling I thought the apes gave up a little in the slow speed handling then I found only 21 lbs in my front tire which I think did not help!
I have a toolbag attached to the stock seat so I plan on rotating when I need some storage!

Local Tampa Triumph parts guy with almost 20 years Triumph experience has seen loads of new models introduced.
And he fully expects the Bobber to follow the same pattern of Triumph trickling out accessories for several months after
the initial bike sales.
That's just what happens. They are a Black Dealer and get preferential treatment, but 6 weeks in, having ordered a ton of stuff, are waiting
for it to start to arrive.

My handlebars will not arrive until at least mid-May, as per Triumph GA Headquarters... no apology either. H-D has accesories readily available before the bike is even out... Triumph dropped the ball on this one.

Its very frustrating to say the least. When you are buying the bike they say don't worry, after they have your money???
