Just thought I'd show a few quick pictures of before and after with a Joker Machine shock bolt dress-up kit. I went with chrome for my Touring, and got some extras so I could pretty up the pannier protection bar mount as well from the butt-ugly normal bolts. They come in black too which would probably look killer on a Roadster for instance.

One of those mods almost nobody will notice, but I'll know it's there. Will be replacing the lower bolt on the shock, but probably not the lower bolt for the pannier guard, it's under the pannier anyway.

Also, now I can unbolt both with one tool. Triumph, strangely as usual, had the same thread in both bolts... but one head was 13 mm and the other 12 mm. They seem to do that a lot, one is a hex, the other is a torx, etc, seems to be no logic to it. Oh well, minor issue, just silly.
