Ya, I liked the Blue while lookin at the Speedy in Tennessee. Gotta wait another 30 days or so to get mine. But I think it will be the Blue also. Just don't like it in all black. Now, if they had it in the Americas new Graphite & Silver!

Give them a break already! Probably still finding ways to make the trip home a little longer.

RAW,
First off CONGRATULATIONS! and WELCOME to the fold!
Watch that leak!!...especialy at the oil cooler...I heard that (and there is a thread or two on the subject) they have had issues with the banjo bolts at the cooler causing the replacement of the cooler...I had to take mine back for a small leak at the inspection port (black plastic plug at the bottom rear of the motor under the carbs) as a rule these DON"T leak at all!!! so keep your eye on it AND your dealer!!!....as far as accessories....stay away from the Triumph bags and pipes!!! over priced (way over priced) you can get three times the bags for 1/2 the money as the Triumph bags...and pipes...well you can get three times the pipe for the same $$$....the first thing you will want to do is take the AI system off and remove the snorkel/adjust the carbs...this will cost you $30.00 and you will be STUNNED at the performance increase (removing the AI will cost the $$ for the plugs BUT you will gain NO performance from this, you will only help with the pop pop pop on decel and the bluing of your pretty new pipes)

RobBA05 (and Raw) You can do the AI Removal for under $10, until such time as one of the nifty kits becomes a necessity, i.e., when ya decide you've got to have it... You can get oil drain plugs at the local car parts place that will fit in just fine, and suffice until a proper kit can be had, and a tube of copper anti-seize, for under $10 I believe, and then bend over the big rubber hose and tie it off with a tie strap. I did until I could spring for the kit (which I did) and it worked fine. Didn't have the cool Union Flag engraving, but worked fine...

Hey why throw good money after bad, might as well get the parts you need straight away and leave alone until you can afford to get them.. Oh and congratulations raw122 on a nice purchase, you will NOT be disappointed
