Ebay = Evil

I’ve had my eye on a set of Triumph Speedmaster wheels (the newer, directional 5-spoke) on Ebay, but I just can’t pull the trigger, even at a paltry $500. I’ve already gone through so much to get a wire-spoke dual front disc wheel, but I’d love to stash those Speedy wheels away for my bike’s next makeover.
So I consoled myself with a killer deal on a Corbin backrest and glovebox. New the combo costs $578. I got it for $99. It’s black and red, which doesn’t match my bike at all, but I’ll either have my buddy squirt it solid black or I’ll just rattlecan it. Still a killer deal.





I have the same backrest, but not the glove box. I have never seen one before, and have to say that looks slick.
I’ll have to find one for my Speedy for after I chop it down so I have a little storage left.
I have that backrest, too. I’ve been on the fence about the glovebox, but the price was just too good. I never would have bought one new. I think I’ll use it mostly for commuting, carrying a small thermos and such. I’m pretty much ditching my saddlebags and various luggage racks for everything except long trips.
