    I live in Los Angeles.
    Picked up a 2017 Triumph Scrambler 900 in Black.

    Started to mod it already. Has about 150 miles on it.

    Put on rear tidy undertail with directionals built into the brake light and add tiny rear directionals into the rubber plug of the seat frame, drill small holes and connect. Much cleaner!

    Order more parts...

    Bars
    Grips, Black levers, Bar end directionals, progressive springs for front and use black spring Thruxton springs in the rear. The rear springs are 1.5 inches lower so the rear will drop. Will drop the forks in the front to match and add the new springs.

    I put on the regulator relocation kit this morning. Looks much better IMO.

    Welcome on board and nice ride! I really like the bar-end directional. Where did you pick those up?
