Need help on a few accessories

[rghamm]

Hey everyone, just got a new R3T and I love it. I added almost every accessory that Triumph offers on their website. However, I was wondering if anyone could give me a little advice of a couple of other accessories. I would like to extend the handlebars a couple of inches back to make it a little more comfortable on long rides. Also, I would like some pipes that provide a little more sound. I don't want it loud and my wife is a little spoiled from my Goldwing, but I like to hear the pipes. I just sold a 1700 Yamaha Roadstar with vance & hines longshots - they were too loud. Does anyone have any recommendations? I sure appreciate the feedback.

rivco risers will take care of the handle bars. it's up 1" back 2" or up 2" back 1".. can't remember.

maybe triumph Tor's? (triumph off road pipes) for exhaust

One thing about getting a set of TOR's is that you can mix & match with the originals.

3 originals = quiet
2 originals + 1 TOR = bit louder
1 original + 2 Tor's = louder still
3 TOR's = raspy

but Owl, He has the R3T. Factory or TORs, you only get 2 pipes.

Crap - I missed the 'T'

OK Owl higher math:
2 stock = quiet
1TOR + 1 stock = louder
2 TOR + 1 stock = New Manifold
3 TOR + 1 stock = Mental Exam
4 TOR + 2 stock = Trip to Funny Farm

Hope that clears it up.

There - that's ably demonstrated why I am not, and never will be, an atom splitter :lol:
