    I've been dreaming about Triumph bikes for a long time and finally bought my first. It's a 2022 T100 Gold Line edition and I'm loving it. Here are some things I'll be posting about:
    • I'm interested in the British Customs cafe handlebar kit. My local dealer will charge $1000 for labor because brake lines need to be extended and then ABS system needs to be reset so I would like to do the work myself but I'm wondering if it is practical or even possible to do those things . https://britishcustoms.com/products/cafe-handlebar-kit-for-triumph-bonneville-t100-t120-chrome
      • If this cafe bar kit is too expensive/impractical, is there a recommendation on bars that would be lower but not full clubman style and not require extending brake lines.
    • I bought a Motone tail tidy kit and one of the tutorials I saw talked about needing to extend the wires from the stock turn signals to splice into the kit. I'm wondering if there are other tips on this kit.
    • I like the Triumph bench seat (black) but it's $430 and I'm interested in cheaper but still decent quality options.
    • I have quasi teardrop style bar end mirrors on my other bike and would like to have them on my current one but I'm not seeing many decent options. Ideas?
    I'll post all of these things separately as well.

    I'm in the US - Richmond, Virginia area and would love to find some other Triumph riders in the area.

    Thanks!
