Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

[R-III-R Turbo]

It's a big day in the village Monday.. dyno day.. finally.
48 hours from now the bike will either be blown up or the dyno will be looking exhausted.

Changed the oil out to Motul 10W50 and gave it a new supercharger belt the other day.
Went to take it for a run, and the throttle cable hook on the grip broke

But what was lucky was that it broke in the garage, and I had time to get a replacement before dyno day.

I've heard of heated grip throttle cable hooks breaking on people a few times. After 15 years, now it's my turn.
Good few folks recommended Oxford heated grips, but when I found that they still need the Triumph tube to go inside the grip (the thing what the throttle cables hook into), I didn't see the point. Still gonna be a Triumph throttle cable hook.

Anyway couldn't find a Triumph heated grip, so just got a normal one.
Turns out they don't even have Triumph written on them anymore, the official OEM part is actually this exact set, if anyone is looking for "Triumph" grips;

Instead of heated grips for the winter, I got a pair of RST Paragon 6 heated gloves (battery ones).

Anywho, fitted the RH grip and off I went for a shakedown spin before dyno day.
The new belt has made an improvement in throttle response - I guess the old tired worn one was slipping a bit.

Now I have to clean the bike, maybe fit that shift light, and get ready for the most exciting Monday of my life
