Roadster pics / Exhaust pics

[jaredmt]

Finally took a few shots of my Roadster:


I also took some shots of the exhaust, as it is one of the primary changes for the Roadster. I thought people might be interested in having a peek at what Triumph did under there .. you know, so we can all decide what would have been better.

As I've noted in the pic comments, I took these just w/ the phone's camera. If anyone wants a better shot, let me know (my camera is pretty big, so it's tricky to get it down there, you see)

Nice bike, like the new turn signals.

Thanks ... I like them as well. Their current placement is sub-par, but I've yet to think of a better one that doesn't involve me attempting to fabricate something. We'll see.
I like the look of the front signals, just not the orange lens, so I've also contacted Kuryakyn about replacement clear/smoked lens for the RIII ... I've given them measurements of what would fit in the hope that an existing lens might do the job (no one, but no one lists product dimensions; disappointing).
They said their R&D dept would look into it ... here's to hopin'.

Matte windscreen & sissybar are on eternal back-order w/ Triumph .. sad.

There's a guy on this form that makes clear leneses. He's in the Netherlands I believe. Someone will chime in shortly on who he is.

 

[jaredmt]

Yeah .. the only problem is that because he has to make them w/ a limited-use mold, he has to charge a fair amount to just break even. I'm hoping for a pair of lenses that won't cost $60. We'll see I guess.

Kury might offer them if there is a large enough market. Kury's R&D is in China. Everything in their catalog (I have a dealers copy) is sourced off shore. Their business address is Somerset Wisconsin but all manufacturing is far away. Somerset is a warehouse and distribution center like Newman Georgia is for Triumph.

The reason why Kuryakyn has such nice chrome (and its durable as well) is because the parts are made and it's plated where the EPA and OSHA police can't go and create hardships that put quality plates out of business. Triple Chrome is alive and well in China.

The black look is interestingly different. Your roadster would look good with one of my polished stainless steel radiator screens on it. Would really set off the black...and it fits perfectly by the way.

Yeah ... I've looked at that insert and have certainly thought about it. Tempting.
