That's quite a tire on the front too - and look at the extensions off the forks. Is that standard sidehack stuff? I would sure love to have one for my two young boys and wife someday!

Unfortunately, I have no idea where to get the parts you are looking for, but I would start by researching the source of that picture.

Wow! That looks like a really cool place to sit. But, how do you reach the handle bars?

Indeed!
For anyone seriously interested check this Link
Poke around on their site a bit. You'll see they've got a variety of Triumph fitments including a kickass looking Tiger based setup, a retro inspired Bonneville kit, and of course they have a mount for the Rocket too - but sadly nothing for our TBirds, yet. They're even selling an intriguing Reverse Gear kit (HD evolution motors only).
