Custom Triumph Thunderbird
If ever there was a Triumph that just begs to be customized to the individual owner, it is the Thunderbird. It seems Triumph realizes this, as well, because the model came charging out of the gates with a huge variety of OEM chrome and farkles.
This blue and white beauty has a lot of these goodies added. Above you can see the short silencer, and dual seat.
This photo shows the back of the quick-release Summer windscreen, as well as a heaping helping of front end sparklies. This bike has a chrome upper and lower yokes, and a chrome fork slider kit.
Above you can see another angle of the chrome forks, and the light bar with OEM lights and a PIAA cross country H.I.D. kit.
The short silencer exposes more of the rear wheel, so a chrome rear pulley kit has been added, as has a chrome wheel kit (which includes front and back wheels.)

Triumph Thunderbird Rated Best Cruiser of 2010
In Cycle World magazine's annual Ten Best Bikes review, the Triumph Thunderbird has been awarded Best Cruiser status for the second year in a row...
The T-Bird's pair of 4-inch pistons make more torque at 2630 rpm—95.1 ft.-lb.—than most cruiser motors make all day. But this bike's more than a pair of big jugs. It rumbles along smoothly, soulfully, while providing comfortably kicked-back ergonomics and suspension that actually suspends. Triumph being Triumph, it couldn't even keep from building a big cruiser that handles okay, too, and then wrapped it up in crisp styling, with a shapely no-seams gas tank, maximum chrome and minimal plastic.
