Sooty bottom of saddle bags from Tor's solved!

[Chrispy294ss]

I wondered if those triumph extension tips would help the exhaust flow clear the bottom of my leather triumph saddle bags as I was getting tired of cleaning them up. They were about $75 a piece and I never heard of anyone ever buying any.

Found these Magnflow 13" 2.75"ID TIPS $40/ea. Just drilled holes, used existing screws and washers and bob's your uncle no more soot.

I feel like the resonance is better/reduced a little as well, sound is about the same.

Bags are off to the shoe repair guy cause the cheap ass rivits were popping off.

Cheers,

I'm trying to get new bags from Triumph as the stiching is comming away on one and they are less than a year old. Mate I'm sorry but I would rather have sooty bags than put these pipes on my bike.

Yes it looks a bit odd without bags. See pics with Newly repaired bags back on. They follow the bag line fairly well.

Good enough for the girls I go with.

A future idea.. might look good with those tails pointing downwards, on a short pipe. Pipes + tails finishing before reaching the bags.. food for thought

Sounds like your fuel mix is wrong if you have soot. Get your dealer to check the tune or use a Tuneboy and get it right, you're losing fuel economy.

I should clarify that I do have a Tuneboy and PC3 (originally on bike) with map supposedly for tors. It was to rich as observed through the collection of soot.

So, when I installed these tips I have zero'ed out the PC3 for now instead of removing it, and used tuneboy and installed the Nopopsenior map. I'v now got more than 500km's on her and don't see any significant collection of black soot. What is there looks lighter in colour.

So far so good. Those senondarys at 100% in all gears in this tune really make this bike feels brand new. Me Likey

Yeah if it's running clean, low levels of deposit & more of a greyish black than sooty black, that sounds good

Didn't "Sooty Bottom and the Saddle Bags" just release their first album?

Funny! :spitcoffee:
