Welcome aboard the triumph wagon Sidekick.
Where abouts are you located?
As mentioned above, you can do far better price and quality wise with aftermarket stuff as opposed to the triumph stuff. The Triumph chrome is far less than desirable, the bags small and they also tear easily (on the ones i have seen at least) and their TOR pipes, well, for the same money you can get some Specialty Spares, Epcos, etc etc.

First things firts - get the Air Injection stuff off ASAP (keeps the pipes from bluing) and then unleash the power, pull the snorkle, get real pipes and probably rejet the carbs. Then think about trinkets and do-dads.

And put Brent in your bookmarks, or better yet, on speed-dial. You and Brent will soon become well acquainted.

Most of all, ride safe, enjoy and practice saying stuff like, "Yea, they do still make them."
"It's brand new", "Yea, I had one then too", "Really, you paid how much for that Harley??"
Oh, and get used to taking compliments about how sweet your bike looks.


A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice. Pat
