Then again, maybe I'm just a tight ass!  | In the first few months of the T-rat forum there was at least one guy that fabricated his own by-pass with the help of a local muffler shop. It will be a bit tricky to get the angles and joint locations right... but when the exhaust is loosened up at all mounting spots there is a little play there and you should be able to get it all clamped together. |

| | | Local muffler shop
I went to a local muffler shop and they said that they can make one with no trouble and it would be cheap. I never followed up on it because I am still trying to figure out what a non-v-twin should sound like. Without the mufflers the rocket sounds like a Subaru.
Maybe if I remove the middle cylinder... |

| | Looks like someone in the UK is making their own bypass kits. Not much of a savings for those of us outside the UK though. http://cgi.ebay.com/Triumph-Rocket-3...QQcmdZViewItem
