![]() A pair of 17-inch cast rims round out the rolling chassis for the Commander, and the LT rolls on a set of chrome laced wheels. The Storm rolls on cast rims with a 19 incher up front and a 17 incher in the back, and that lack of symmetry adds to its custom->ke296 flair. On the Storm, the blackout treatment makes its way onto the Showa shock springs, and they also come with adjustable preload but only 3.74 inches of travel. The Commander and LT sport chromed, Showa rear shocks with adjustable spring preload and 4.27 inches of travel. Front suspension compression and rebound values are fixed, but the 120 mm fork travel should be sufficient for most civilized surfaces. The Storm seems to have a smaller front end, but this is an optical illusion created by the skirting around the upper fork tubes and tripletree on the Commander and LT. These figures give us some fairly stable tracking at speed and when passing through the pressure wave in front of big vehicles on the highway, and the extra rake on the Storm just adds to its custom appeal.Īll three models come with the same 47 mm front end from Showa. In the middle of the range we have the Commander with a 30.1-degree rake and 5.3 inches of trail, and at the long end of the spectrum, the Storm pushes the forks out to 32 degrees with 5.9 inches of trail. The LT comes with the shortest angle at 29.9 degrees with 5.2 inches of trail. Plus, it would displace the shocks and really change the look. The dual-side swingarm completes the assembly both structurally and visually, because let's face it, one of those fandangled, one-sided swingarms just wouldn't look right here. Not only does this provide some protection for the engine from below, it fits the cruiser motif better than a Trellis, or some other stressed-engine arrangement. Instead of the dual, symmetrical headlights like its siblings, the LT runs a large, central headlight flanked by a pair of pimp lights to aid in seeing and being seen.Ī twin-spine frame made up of mild, tubular steel serves as the standing bones in the traditional, dual-downtube, double-cradle format. At the top we have the tour->ke2669-tastic LT with the fullest fenders of the three complete with chrome trim, plus a windshield, bags and a passenger backrest. The Commander comes with a bit more in the way of chrome bling, and it carries more sheet metal than the Storm with slightly larger fenders. This ties it in to traditional custom style and lends an intimidating edge to this British stoplight burner. Triumph went with a near-total blackout finish on the Storm, with only the cooling-fin edges, exhaust, suspension and assorted hardware escaping the paint booth untouched.
