How long ago did you make the switch? ((I switched parts out over Winter, 2004))


Are you happy with it? ((Yes, IMO these bikes run absolutely fine in stock condition. Curiousity and long Winters however got the best of me))


Is the performance better than you thought or is it just what you were looking for? ((Performance wise I pretty much knew what to expect, based upon the experience of the people here. A bit more Zip that shouldn't affect motor longevity))


Was it worth the $$ you spent? ((Now, why did you have to ask that? In short, yes it's well worth it. On this board there are lots of combinations, from stock airbox modifications -drilling holes, removing snorkel pieces- to complete airbox removal, matched with rejetted carbs and freer flowing exhaust. I think these various increased air/fuel combinations gain in the neighborhood of 6-8 Horsepower. Airbox mods, different carb needles and using a "hole" saw to remove 2 rear baffles or so from the stock exhaust accomplishes about the same thing for much fewer dollars. I still toy with the idea of altering the sidecovers and running with the filters exposed as in older Triumphs, which is one reason I went the "freak" route.
