Sasha,
That's quite a list. I would start by removing the air injection system first. That should keep the pipes from blueing.
Here's a link to an earlier discussion on this.
Congratulations on getting your Speedmaster!

Sasha,
Richard is giving you good advice. Remove the AI, or the header pipes will blue. When you remove the AI, you will need to balance the carbs.

The next biggest improvement for the effort is the pipes. There are a dozen ways to improve the sound, performance, or both. You can remove the last two baffles without it getting too loud (subjective), or there are lots of subtle aftermarket pipes like TOR (Triumph Off Road)and a half dozen others that go from mild to stupid loud.

The FREAK is a great kit. Pods will require you cutting the air box or removing it completely (not recommended). You will see the most performance gains from pipes then a FREAK, as the pipes are the biggest bottleneck. Pipes are worth about 4-5 hp, then the FREAK is worth another 4-5 hp. the FREAK with stock pipes is worth 2-3hp, and requires a rejet of the carbs.

As for cleaning, I like a lot of the Meguires products, but use others, too. The Meguires quick detailer gets a lot of use in my garage on all the vehicles.

A lot of what you can/should do depends on where you live and the restrictions on modifying factory emissions.


None of this is overly complex, it just sounds intimidating at first. There are plenty of folks that can walk you step-by-step through any of it.

Welcome to the group.

By the way, if I may ask, where is home? Your English is very good, but it sounds, maybe, Russian?

THANK YOU Cowboy, fortunatly I live in near by Houston tx, below sea level and in some places sea level, yes I ordered AI removal kit, pluse I am still debating should I start with uni filter with airbox or should I use freak (and remove airbox), plus I would like to ask you if you know will just drilling holes through buffers do the job or do I need to cut them...
thank you in advance
and I love SM so much that I WOULDN'T trade it for 10 Harley's

Your changes all depend what you are looking for. Best set up without getting too loud is to remove first 2 baffles and drill 3rd but not sure where the catalyst is in the 07s. When removing baffles if you see a honey comb don't beat on that it's your catalyst and is soft so it will just squish closed. It can be removed but no need to if you like the sound with it in. I personally would go Freak rather than airbox changes. I believe the engine breathes better but I know some will argue that.

As for the mufflers, drill one baffle (on each side), then ride awhile. You can do the drilling without taking the muffler off of the bike. Keep drilling holes, making the size and pattern of the holes match on each side. If that is not loud enough for you, then remove what is left of the first baffle. Similiarly, proceed while intermittently riding the bike and drilling more holes. Once the material is removed, it is to late to undo it. No hurry, just make it the way you want it to sound.
