Wow, Lisa, glad to see it FINALLY arrived. Was the part OK? That box looks trashed.  :P

Yep, parts were fine. 

The seller had everything wrapped neatly and had foam peanuts cushioning the whole thing.  Glad he did - that box was completely trashed.

I'm never sending anything USPS parcel post... Must have used this package as a bumper stop for a week or two before they delivered it here.

I have not had good luck with parcel shipment via USPS, whether sending or receiving one. The few times I have sent by USPS I have walked out of the post office with a feeling of dread, kicking myself for not driving a little extra to a UPS or Fed-Ex store front. Glad you finally got the triple... guess that means I'll have to call off Fat Tony. He's gonna be disappointed. ;)

Yea, I think he sometimes goes by "Cousin you-have-a-friend-in-the-family Tony."  8)

Hmmm, I don't see any photos of a new top triple. C'mon Lisa, you know the rules [cheeky]

Well, end of story... New Rizoma gloss black bar, stock triple clamp, Eastern Cycles 1 1/2" risers (did not require longer cables), and a SpeedyMoto billet aluminum tower bridge.

Ride comfort is much improved so all is well  [thumbsup]

Very nice Lisa! [thumbsup] Heck, my neck and back feel better just looking at your rig! I see a nice Arkansas trip in your future!! [thumbsup]
