Ok, haven't done much re: the new pipes yet. Got a bit discouraged after calling tech at dealer where I bought it. He told me I needed to get a custom map from the person selling the pipes (chevy605) if I needed to remap the bike. Said there wasn't a Triumph map applicable.

I few Triumph riders I have since met recommended the tech at the dealer ship in Raleigh, NC. There's a Ton Up Club chapter there, and they supposedly all swear by this guy. My wife and I had occasion to make the 2+ hour drive up there yesterday for something else, so we stopped at the dealership. The Tech was there, so I asked him. He told me it could definitely be done. There are currently 3 maps available for the EFI engine. The stock one, for stock pipes, one for the TORs with AI still installed, and one for the TORs with AI removed. This was the one he recommended for pretty much any after market pipes, and definitely mine. He's familiar with chevy605s pipes. His explanations as to why all seemed to make sense, and were clear were for even a dummy like me to understand.

For the heck of it,, while heading home, I called the dealer in Greensboro, NC (wife was driving) and asked the tech there the same question. I got the same recommendation from him, and in slightly different and a bit more technical terms, got the same reasons why.

So that's the route I'm going to go, as soon as possible. I'll report back after it's done.

Also, as a side note, I've had a couple of other issues with the dealership where I bought the bike. So I'm going to compile some notes, and go have a chit chat with the owner, whom I have met a few times.
