What Happens if....

If I were doing a bike again without ultimate top end in mind, I would just use Tors, look around, a set will come up for sale, they always do!

Well....The more time you spend reading the less time you are riding. We need to apply Occams Razor to alot of our problems and if an AFR+ or a PCV/AT gets you close- its good.

I have more money than time Clav.....and with the Cat delete and shipping on the TORs I'll be at the price point I can buy the last of the D and D's-new or used. I'm a slip on kinda guy and everyone is looking for TORs "so no soup for me".

I may just sell the RAMAIR and AFR that are being shipped...I am putting on TORS to gain back the 27 FT LBS lost by the RAMAIR (or K and N's). If I would have known that pulling the airbox leads to a couple thousand dollar project (due to the 27 ftlb loss) ...I would just leave it bone stock. And I may....
 
TRIUMPH tuned the Rocket to produce lots of useable low and mid range power so I dont think its worth screwing with it and spending money unless you want to derestrict it and add a free flowing intake and exhaust system I have a stone stock 09 Classic and it runs great as is the lowend and midrange are all you can use it runs out of power up top and thats where the mods will help it develop 165+ HP and 165 TRQ and thats a big improvement and worth the money
JUST leave it stock as it will do evreything you want and go riding

Hey I lept on your tire recommendations and I was good.

My Dyno was down and after 4 people told be to rip the Airbox; Clav told me I would lose the torque. This all came up in the "spark plug debacle" when I was lamenting the PITA of changing plugs. Nobody said...HEY that is going to cost you 20 percent of your Torque and 1000-5000 dollars to get it back...

That is why I come here I am a DUMASS looking for help not salt on the wound.

The dealer I cant go back to got a hard on for me when I went with your front tire phil...so it is your fault...LOL...JK
 
No you're not. You are simply excited with your new toy and suffering from cabin fever. Take your time!

Oh, the woes of winter!
 
The stock Rockets are tuned for cruising and they do a great job and if you dont want anymore top end power or speed then just drive it and enjoy as there isnt any other bike out there that can do it better . OH and how did the front tire work out ?
 


Is that a rhetorical question? You know if Phil recommended it-it was good. Better yet it is GREAT!
