The Trophy matches the RT point for point and features traction control, ABS, linked brakes, -liter detachable saddlebags, cruise control, tire-pressure monitors, an electrically adjustable windscreen, adjustable seat height, electrically adjustable headlights, shaft final drive,electronically adjustable suspension (three positions each for preload and damping) and an elaborate FM/Bluetooth sound system that’s fully iPod compatible and will also play other formats (FLAC,WAV,MP,OGG,ACC).The Trophy ticked off every one of my requirements — and then some. With an MSRP of $,, however, it pushed beyond my budget. Fortunately, I dis- covered a slightly used TT SE in Los Angeles, California and made the -mile trip with the $, cash in my pocket. After a -minute spin on a variety of roads I was sold and the bike came home with me. The odometer rolled over , miles as I pulled into my driveway. With  years of LD farkling experience under my belt, I had a good idea of how I was going to outfit this bike. A number of items would transfer over from the LT to the Trophy, while the rest I would either have to purchase or fabricate. My farkling plan consisted of three phases. Phase one was to transfer my existing accessories to the new bike. Phase two was to ride the bike and discover its unique charac- teristics and how best to integrate new farkles. Phase three was to ensure that everything worked together. There were two main objectives for each phase of this project. First was not to repeat my previous mistakes. Second was not to make any permanent modifications so the Triumph could be returned to stock. Some of the farkles on my LT had become integral parts of the bike and this was a mistake I didn’t want to repeat. Dash-Mounted Accessory Shelf I have two Garmin GPS units, a Zumo  and a Streetpilot . The Zumo has been my primary GPS and it needed to be mounted in short order. I considered using the mirror mount holes in the handlebars, but the GPS would obscure the mirrors, so I immediately rejected this option. I then made a RAM mount that placed the GPS on the triple tree. However, it was well below my line of sight, was in a position to interfere with my tank bag, and obscured the instrument panel somewhat. Since I needed space for my second GPS and a radar detector, I made a dash-mounted accessory shelf that, in keeping with my objective of not modifying the stock bodywork, is mounted using the stock holes that hold the instrument panel in place. Now I have plenty of room for my two GPSes, Valentine V, and my GoPro camera.

So before I even purchased a new bike,I knew I was going to get a Russell Day-Long Saddle.I even searched and found a used seat pan for the Trophy just after I bought it so I could con- tinue riding while the new seat was being made. Then I broke my promise to not repeat mistakes and I bought a Laam Custom seat. I used the seat for over a year and it wasn’t bad, but I’d rate it as a great two-day seat. I did a cc Quest with no complaints at all, but on the trip home the seat bothered me. I’d recommend it for shorter rides and rallies. I subsequently corrected my initial mistake and ordered an Rus- sell. There’s a reason so many Iron Butt riders have one.
