The R3 is going to the dealership to get those skins mounted up. It's a bit chilly/snowy/icy for a ride over to Missoula right now. But sooooooon... I have all this other stuff to do to it, too (and this is me, "holding back")...  Also have the breakaway cruise control I originally bought for Bollox, and some tank protective pads. Nothing really performance related ...yet.

Thats one wide tire John, the R3 don't need much performance stuff. Does it?

Except for those new ISO grips!  Glad you see you're not thinking of showing up in Nelson without them... all the cool guys ride with ISO!!

I already had the ISO-Grips, too. The breakaway cruise control is made for them. I definitely don't need more power out of the R3, not anytime soon. But I'd like it if it made a little more noise.

I've got my enduro pretty much ready to go. New top box, hand protectors, windshield, chain and sprockets, oil change and fixed lights. I figure I'll start the riding season with my XL350 just because I don't have to fuss over her as much. Yup, just a matter of temps going up to the point where there's no black ice to worry about and away I go. Should be soon.

Get rid of the cat.
Brent does these cat replacement thingies ..
I have a similar unit.
Increases hp and sounds better. Combined with tor pipes and it sounds great.
Paul (on this site) has that set up on his R3 and they sound great.
A couple of years ago, Triumph had accessories at 50% off and I should've got the pipes then but didn't

Oddly, a cat bypass and TORs costs the same as a full Jardine system, right around $800. http://www.motosport.com/cruiser/product...PH;ROCKET3;2007Heck, I'm going to have to move this thread to Other Bikes if this keeps up.

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

I am looking forward to seeing some pics of your new ride. (As for global warming and early spring Its 70 degrees here today  ).
