PaulCa Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Given the extremely elevated cost of OEM parts, this is, in effect a profiteering racket for the auto industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe85 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 And so begins the rise of imitation complaint exhausts/cats. A shame really, because they’re hideous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a silly lower belly fairing. I wondered why you would cover up the engine and hide it. Then I seen a picture of the front of the bike naked and ... nope. Put that fairing back on, it is ugly under here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I'm on a Bobber forum based in the US. There's a definite pattern emerges. Guy buys a Bobber. Triumph and other manufacturers sell a vast range of goodies to modify them, either slightly or massively. So they announce a program of modifications. A few turn into HD look-a-likes. Not my taste but very well done. Most get so called performance add-ons, especially decats and air box deletes. Then two things nearly always happen. First there's post about it doesn't run so well. Second, after about a year all the bolt on bits start appearing in the 'For Sale' section and the bike gets quietly put back to standard. It's a bit like fishing tackle sales, most of time most of the tackle sold only catches the sucker who thinks he needs it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
