Ach Dagnamit... I spoilt it with one little letter.

You'll love it, and Lance is right they sound brilliant with cans. The Arrows are V-loud and rather expensive, but Triumphs own cans are nice too they look exactly the same as the originals and are about half the price of the Arrows.

Diz I've heard the low level kills the mid range.

The lowering kit, which is getting done, will take it down to 770mm - I too suffer from heavy gravity. I like the Low Boy, which makes using soft panniers easier, but had heard it messes with performance low to mid range - sounds wicked tho.'

Bike will be ready middle of next week but I'm away with work. Had an op on my back Tuesday so no mad rush to get out + I want it checking over by someone I can trust before I go daft on it.

Can't comment on performance but sound is great plus it allows to use certain luggage as you say.

Have fun
