    Triumph do there own. Quite often turn up on eBay as well.
    A quick search on eBay showed 69 items for mine.
    Most were OEM Triumph so worth a look there. May need remapping.
    Prices ranged from £49 to £249 depending on how new they were.
    Brand spankers costing more of course

    Shipping might be a bit pricey to Perth though from UK.

    You have Foran Exhausts and Staintune in Aus though and I think a few others.

    Hi v8dve and Ronny,
    I have forans on my 08 America, they sound great and you'll avoid the international freight. If the mufflers are very free flowing/open yes you will need to "tune" adjust the fueling ! There a tuning shops in Perth that will do the work, some via power commander some via direct plug into the bikes "ecu" .
    Dave how did you go with the risers ?

    Cheers Mick (capt)

    Hello everyone

    Note: The Thunderbird Commander set up is fundamentally different
    ( to the ABS/Storm/1600/1700 ).
    The cats are either in the headers...and or...including a slightly different header length on the RH side...I have found references to this on various open chat forums but no clear strategy

    So gathering up everything I can find about the Thunderbird Commander it looks like UK options may include:

    1. Hogslayers
    2. Vance and Hines

    Has the 'different RH/LH side length issue been sorted yet ?

    Note for the UK brutal import duty from America...I got caught out on that recently...so any suggestions there appreciated

    But more importantly:

    Can anyone advise as to a straight forward cat by-pass kit for the Commander ?
    ( The Thunderbird Storm kit will not work )

    Thanks in advance and best regards
    Jim ( The original Jimster )
