The airbox and the Jardines are on the bike. Ya all know how good the Jars are, so I'll skip telling you how much I like them. LoL
The airbox and the bearclaw look good. They blend in very well with the bike. The black bearclaw looks so much better than the chrome one. I'll get some pictures up next week.
I noticed that the bike is torquier than it was with the underseat K&N and TORs and 20050_2. The first 3 gears were rippin with 20050_3. 4th was somewhat better while 5th didn't seem much different than the previous setup I had.
Only problem right now is the air filter. Turning all the way left to engage the lock interferes with any air filter longer than 72mm. Also, some of the warm air from the radiator is entering the bottom of the filter.
MGS and the Triumph dealer had a mixup with filter numbers, and by the time MGS came up with the right part number, the dealer and I had already decided to put on a filter that would fit - the RU-2780. MGS told me tonight that they have a bigger filter that will fit on the bike; however, I just cannot see how on Earth any filter longer than the 2780s will work without removing the front turn signals.
I'm pissed about the air filter issue, but I do think that MGS and I will come up with a happy solution. I talked to the MGS folks tonight but it was near closing. I'll find out more tomorrow...
So far as dyno results, I'm gonna wait until I resolve the air filter issue.
