I finally got off my butt and put a deposit down on this one today. I'm really looking forward to the 2015 riding season!

Like the ST better! Get yourself Tuneedit--- free software to get into your ecu. Can do lots with it!

Nice! I've been enjoying my 2002 ST quite a bit, especially since Vern fixed the plastics and made it purty!!! Wasn't too long ago that one of the MC mags put yours up in "Smart Money", IIRC.

Post up if you have any good angles on P/A, especially an aftermarket exhaust can... mine's still stock, sounds pretty OK as it is, but that triple motor CAN make nooice music.
Looks like you've got a 2 Bro's, how's it sound?

Chances are there will be a March Glitchness 2015- holler if you head this way!

I think you'd like that canister, I know that I do! It reminds me a bit of the Termignoni I had on my old Guzzi Daytona but perhaps a bit louder. It sounds like the bike means business.

There's a dent in your gas tank

Nice looking bike! Even with the "dents". Love the triples!

I'm in the same boat. Considering a 2002 Sprint ST...

Several years ago, my best bud owned a late 70's Yamaha triple, and it had a Kerker header on it- we'd go to Hooter's bike nite and the music that thing made would draw a crowd! Nowadays the price of any Triumph exhaust parts from the aftermarket would buy that old Yamaha again.

That is a very nice motorcycle.

Congratulations on the purchase!

Are those black side things sticking out sliders or really high forward foot pegs?

That i motor is beautiful and smooth, and stinking fast to boot.

Congrats!

Thank you, I'm really looking forward to getting it.
I took off work tomorrow to buy Jeff Beck tickets, do the paperwork for this Triumph and then splurge on some ebony string pins for my Martin acoustic.
The pins should run $5 but it's the little things that count!

@Fireman Jim- tell me more about the "tuneedit"- I took my Sprint ST out last week for about a 40-50 mile ride, it ran fine until I stopped at a gas station, didn't want to start-
I rolled her off, and the engine check light came on.



Seems to be running fine, initially I thought maybe a bad battery or stator, but a couple of days later the bike started right up, battery didn't seem weak- but the dang engine check light was still on!

Not yet researched anything on the RATNET, but figured I'd start here since I'm here anyhoo.

tuneecu.com will work for Triumphs. You will of course have to get a cable. I was able to get one on Fleabay no problem.
