Here is the email message I just sent to the manufacture since it doesn't look like the ones I got will fit my stock '05 speedmaster.
Anyone one here have these on the bike? (basicly stock 865 '05 Speedmaster)
As sent-
I purchased a set of billet manifolds from one of your authorized dealers for my stock 2005 triumph Speedmaster.
The manifolds I received are machined straight across (90degree angle) on the carburetor side as well as the head intake port side and measure overall about 70 mm.
My 2005 865 engine has intake ports on the head that are not parallel to the downstream end of the carburetor.
When measuring the stock manifolds including the boot (where it bottoms out on the carburetor outlet side) the top measures about 72mm and the bottom measures about 62mm. corresponding to the angle on the head intake port.
The information on your site says you have the manifolds for my model bike and that they are compatible with stock carburetors.
Did I possibly receive the wrong manifolds for my bike?
The dealer where I got them said they are a new product for him and he assures me they should work. Before I go through the effort of pulling the carburetors off, I need to know if these are right.
In looking at them and making careful measurements I have to say that it is not possible for them to fit into the existing space between the carburetors and the heads intake ports.
If these are the correct pieces then why the difference from my stock units to these very nicely done manifolds?
Thank you,
Gary
