It is hard to describe. two baffles removed from the long TBA slashcuts will give you double the sound. That is equal to about 1/2 the thump of T-bike or Epco. Meaning the aftermarkets are way louder.

Pipes are a matter of preference. I would ride one with Epco or t-bike pipes to the bar or to the store but would never take a trip on one. Way too much noise for me.

A rock band on a stage in a bar vs. your stereo in your house.

I drilled mine, did a K&N filter, threw away the snorkels and did 130 mains and a 45 pilots. Runs great and never a pop on decel. When I twist it you can hear it coming and at idle has a nice little tone to it. Sounds as much like the old triumphs as the firing order will allow. Volume is the same at least.


I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.
