    Time for some rubber

    For Stock Triumph Wheels - I still think the Sport Demons are the absolute best. I mounted a set of Bridgestone BT016(s) the new multi-compound on the S3 and they're phenomenal. Looks like I'll get about 3,000 outta the rear on the S3. Way better feel & grip than the Pirelli Rosso. FWIW

    AI, California cans, and idle characteristics

    Oh ya. All you need to leave is: 1) the Vent Line from the tank to the tip-over valve. That can be routed behind the clutch cover. 2) The Carb Breather hose. It runs from a cross-over tube between the carbs at the front. I stuffed some LOOSE pcv filter material in the open end and left it...

    How Comfortable is Your Stock Thrux?

    I like my Thrux real well... but in it's element! At Speed going straight is ok.. in the twisty's it's perfect. Stop & Go Traffic just plain sucks! It took me awhile to adjust to the clip-ons, but now after 25,000 miles I wouldn't change them. Depending on how much damage there is to...

    Bluehue exhaust...

    I didn't realized this was a common topic, I own a street triple and have little experience with Triumph twins.. If your Streets head pipes look anything like my Speedy's head pipes, the Blue on my Thruxston looks way better, good thing the Speedy's got that huge ass radiator to hide it!
