Couldn't resist

Carpenter headers ? Very pretty . Very interested in how those work out vs leg heat

I been around a bunch of Rockets. One had the same carpenter header. Fellow rode up on his Rocket and I could feel the heat coming off the header on my face as I got closer for a better look of the bike. I don't want to sound like I'm knocking the header but it does put out some heat..... I've seen and felt it in person...lol
 
Why is the license plate so big?

Your bike looks awesome!

Thanks! The dealer actually had temporary registration on it, and they put it on in the lower holes. I'm going to transfer the "LAUNCH" plate off my `07 when it warms up.
 
They guys at National Powersport told me they originally bought 72 of the R3R when triumph announced the new model. 10999 for black and red and 11299 for matte, I ended up just picking this up, 10750 and only 87 miles 18 model

So much for customer loyalty...biz is biz I know but cannot help feeling duped somewhat
 
The local dealer had a 16 matte for 12299, nationals was 11299 for a 18, asked the owner if that was the best they could do and other than knocking off the doc fee they wouldn't budge. National is like the Walmart of triumphs. With the internet nowadays, its hard for the small guy to compete, big dealers can offer them at prices the small guys aren't even buying theirs for.
