    Hi All,

    With both my dad and my brother owning Triumph's i decided to tow the family line and picked up my 2014 675r about 3 weeks ago. Its now done its 1000 mile running in, which is probably the most painful riding experience ive ever had.

    Im 29 and from the northwest, been riding for 9 years and also have a Blackbird for 2up touring.

    Looking for an exhaust and some luggage so if anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated


    Thanks

    Welcome to the forum

    The 675r is a very nice bike.

    With regards to an exhaust it depends on how much you have to spend ?

    With luggage I would most probaly go with soft luggage with your bike and again it depends on how much money you want to spend.

    Cheers

    Steve

    Thanks Guys,

    Exhaust im not to bothered about cost, Just something that looks and sounds nice.

    Wanted to get the Blaze panniers from bags connection but they have no plans to produce a fitting kit for the 13-14 bike. have to look and some other options.

    some pics for you,

    Very nice :upyeah:

    Just had a quick look the Arrow is £600 so I take it that you are looking for something a bit cheaper that that?

    I know Taylormade do a very nice exhaust for this bike but not sure on price.

    Two Brothers also do an exhaust and if you know someone in the states you could get one for around £300

    Not sure who else do them.

    Cheers

    Steve

    Thanks Steve,

    Doesnt have to be cheaper than the arrow, im just not that keen on the looks of it! The stock one looks better to me!!

    Ive seen the Taylormade ones, look like the 899 system

    Ive seen an Austin Racing thats got my eye
