    Check with your dealer. When I purchased my ride (August) no accessories were yet available in the US. I got mine from a UK dealer,along with the little windscreen that sits above the OE fly screen - my favorite accessory of all.

    One question. Did the kit come with a different relay to adjust the blinking rate?

    No. The blinking rate is the same as OE.

    I ended up going with Rizoma Leggera indicators as I wanted something a bit smaller. They are superb quality and really bright. I bought the led relay based on comments elsewhere, but it is not necessary, similar to your experience. The blink rate is the same. I wonder if the newer triumphs have a canbus or something a bit smarter that can control the blink rate regardless of load?

    Anyway, so far the bike is brilliant and Colorado weather is superb today!!!

    Well I have decided I don't like you. Showing me a video of fantastic bike terrific weather out of this world twisties and bends sweepers and moving scenery. Do you know it has rained here cold freezing rain. Boy you know how to rub our noses in it. But on a serious note all fantastic and the sounds seemed alright to me I forgot the volume.
    Great shots enjoy the bike and this Family.
    Ride Safe
    Joe.

    Hello 'Sideburn' - so, where in Colorado? I winterized my bikes a few weeks back. I should not have. With the tempts in the 50's, and consistently dry, I'm missing out on some nice riding weather. The mountain passes are a bit messy but there is plenty to chose from to the east. I'm sure you to have your favorites.

    I'm in the Broomfield/Westmister area. Yea, I went east today and it was a great ride. Next week looks to be good, so get out on it and ride!

    I purchased Rizoma Corsa signals for my RS. I took a look this evening regarding taking off the Carbon rad cowls but couldn’t figure out how they come off. Did you remove them to fit the new turn signals?

    Yes, they are easy to remove. Unscrew the bolt for the OEM turn signals and then just slide them forward (the carbon piece and metal part behind it. The rear part is held by a u-shaped knob and rubber grommet.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I actually tried that, it seem like it wanted to move and then got stuck and I was worried about harming the carbon fibre. So I guess a little more force is required then

    Allen, how do you like the windscreen? I’m considering one but only if it makes an improvement with wind blast at highway speeds. Have you ridden with it off the bike as well?

    I do like the windscreen. I absolutely experience less wind. No turbulence or added noise. I prefer the aesthetics of the screen added. It's one of those things that should be OE.

    I agree, I have a 2016 R which I picked up in January. Riding home I felt it was far more windy than my '07 had been, lots of buffeting at motorway speeds. I bought and fitted a screen within a couple of weeks and love it. It just keeps things a little quieter and smoother. I'm 5'11" and the screen definitely works for me.

    I found the part number on the Triumph UK site, then did a google search. I also found a Canadian site that has them as well :)
