    Hi Dan, welcome to the nuthouse.
    Excellent choice (2016 Euro4 model is rubbish anyway ;))
    Most important question....what colour?
    And we do expect photos when Santa has been. :D

    Hi Dan and welcome to the Triumph Asylum - you'll soon see why.

    Congrats on your new bike and of course the obligatory request for new bike pics, please.

    Thank you for the work you do, also.

    hey thanks for the kind replies.
    I bought the bike about 3 1/2 - 4
    Wks ago, just awaiting on dvla papers?? I didn't get a choice on colours as it was the last one and as I said very cheap including some extras, so it's a white one.
    I've bought some high 3-2 arrows but to be honest I might sell them and get. Low boy. For styling that's where I'm at! What do you think?

    I like the low exhaust but did it the cheap way and fitted just a can, £300.00 :)

    Technically the low-Boy is the way to go...........
    But I prefer the twin high Arrows because it makes the bike look "meaty", and harks back to the original 900 Speed Triple that had twin exhaust......But then I'm ancient.

    I really like the low exhaust better, I wouldn't pay the arrow rip of prices, I would just get a end can. Few nice ones from Italy, hp corse I believe?
    I also agree that the high ones look meaty but they don't produce the howl you get from a single can

    Too quiet with the baffle and to loud without, so i drilled the baffle pipe until i got the req sound.

    I think most of us run with the removable baffles out on the twins, but yes probably still quieter than a single. Still get that lovely "snap, crackle and pop" on the overrun though. :D
