    Quieten the exhaust?

    Thanks Steve, that's very interesting.I would guess the same part would be available here in the US as well. From your post it seems like I'll have to pop the rivets in the Jars to fit these in? Did you get a chance to measure the decibel levels before and after? My Jars are currently around...

    Quieten the exhaust?

    I recently posted about some issues i had getting state inspection done with the Jars fitted.. Though that issue is solved now, I would still like to know if there is a permanent way to quieten the exhaust a bit as it's still a bit loud for my taste. Of course i can wear ear plugs, but...

    Installing Jardines for the first time....

    Not yet bones(the bike is good till the end of this month), i'm gonna try my luck at another dealer this weekend(who does dyno work). Hopefully he will pass it, if not then ill spend half a day installing the OEM pipes and the ****ty cat converter back, get it inspected and then go back to Jars...

    Installing Jardines for the first time....

    Gary is one of the finest here indeed Leigh! Very competent technically and always willing to help a fellow rider out! I wasn't in turkey though, you might have me mixed up with someone else.. happens to me all the time ;) The Jardine bracket will be between the tire and the metal bracket for...

    Installing Jardines for the first time....

    I installed the Jardines a month or so ago and got great help from Gary(G-man). This is his detailed email on installation that i found way more useful than the Jardine manual. Hope he won't mind me posting this here. All credit for this to Gary! Remove OEM exhaust--------all you---Good Luck...

    How to check for leaks?

    Hmm.. thanks guys, so it sounds like im better off with the OEM filter for now at least then(till the time comes to replace this). I would have gone for the triple K&N's but want to sort out the issue Gary(G-man) mentioned about the variable air flow we get with those. Anyhow, this is really...

    How to check for leaks?

    So i did manage to check the bike using the incense method.. seems to be a good joint for now. Also this was the first time i rode the bike after installing the Jardines, what a change!! I'm still running the under the seat OEM filter, using the tuneboy for the Jars. Seems to be working well...

    How to check for leaks?

    xhd.. i did use permatex high temp silicon to create the exhaust gasket.. hopefully it would have sufficed. Am out of town now, but will check on saturday when i get back home. I'll check up on the Thermosteel stuff you mention, thanks for the tip! Bud- would have surely done that 'xcept i...

    How to check for leaks?

    I fitted the Jars on to the bike last week.. am wondering how can i check for any leaks on the joints, especially where the header meets the exhaust. The exhaust to header unit was a little loose fit and i put an extra pipe clamp on there just to be sure, but still wondering what is the best...

    Kill Switch Usage?

    I do remember reading in the forum in 2005/2006 of a problem where using the kill switch screwed up some mappings/timing for the bike and people were resetting it using the 12 minute tune. I occasionally end up using it but for the most part i turn it off with the key myself.

    high rise footpegs

    I want to take my 4 yr old son for a few spins around the block on the Trumpet. I need some kind of riser footpegs for the pillion so his feet can reach them, any suggestions are really appreciated! :D

    How many miles to a rebuild?

    there have been some problems in the earlier rockets i believe, but its not across the board. A cam gear broke in mine at about 28,000 and the broken bits went into the crankcase as well. Thankfully Triumph covered for most of the cost even though the bike was out of warranty. Still wouldn't...

    Utopia Backrest on Triumph Dual Gel Touring Seat

    Ah I see what you mean now :) cutting through the seat didn't come to my mind at all somehow. I do have a Utopia backrest- but not for sale ;) I like it a lot,I think I bought it off from a person on the forum. Did you check ebay? One thing you'd probably like to keep in mind while...

    Utopia Backrest on Triumph Dual Gel Touring Seat

    Can't see how that would be possible without some fabrication Gary. The backrest attaches in between both the seats to the bracket below the seats(the one which holds the rear seat). I'd be curious to see how if anyone managed to fix it on the dual gel seat.

    Sissy bar rack luggage systems!

    I agree with Gary on T bags, ive had them for over a year now- without a single issue. Ive used them in pretty extreme weather as well and they've held up nicely. Their build quality is top notch.
