I have the bits to lower the bike all on order. Ikon rear lowering shocks, progressive lowering spring kit for the front, and a 2.75 inch lower seat. Once that all arrives and is installed I will be relocating the controls back a bit. Pictures of the progress will be posted.
meanwhile I have been riding the bike to get it though its break in period and have a few observations about the 2012 vs my 05. It appears that triumph has addressed a fair number of the short comings on the older models. The mirrors are much, much better, the kick stand has been relocated (so that it can actually be reached without digging for it)
better risers (they look like the HD duece risers that many changed to)
fuel injection - sweet
2 trip odometers
plus it seems more torquey than I recall my 05 to have been stock. so far it is all good.
oh, and it weighs less
I enjoyed your little comparison writeup here. Btw, nice work on your wife's bike!
Live to love, love to live.
