    Yes let's hope John T's lad comes up with some info.

    I'll probably be looking for a screen myself but want to get a few miles under the belt first

    I’ve just replaced the orange indicators with clear ones, to my eyes they look a lot better on my black & white bike. I’ll probably see about changing the amber bulbs for LED’s if I can find some that are brighter than the filament bulbs.

    John, now that you have had the remus on a while, do they sound as good on the video then And overall are you pleased with them? On the standard pipes the LHS one is dressed inwards by an inch or at the front, these remus look more symmetrical, are they? Cheers buddy

    Mine's a black Street Twin. So far:

    Brown bench seat to give me more leg room.
    Bobbins from TEC for a track stand.
    TEC gas shocks and fork springs, yet to be fitted.
    Oxford bar end mirrors, cheap but don't look that bad and are functional. OEM on my Santa list.
    Front mudguard extender.
    Black sump guard to be fitted.
    I've got a new vacuum Scotoiler to fit, but am thinking of putting it back on ebay in favour of a Tutoro.
    Triumph stickers to put on the wheel rims.

    Next up is to scramblerise it.
    V&H high level exhaust waiting to be fitted. It's only cosmetically different to the unit on the Scrambler.
    Scrambler black headlamp bezel and guard (apparently can be ordered from Triumph for c£50).
    Brown grips, maybe.
    Tail tidy. Not Triumph's. Looking at various ones that include LED indicators.

    I bought some Triumph heated grips but I'm going to sell them back (-15% buy-back) cos I've decided this is not my cold weather bike, that's the Tiger's job.

    I do like the Remus cans with the little baffle out they make a lovely deep note, louder but not too loud. Build quality is excellent and you can get to the rear axle without removing to adjust chain etc (not that I need to much with the Scotoiler)
    Three piston mirrors work well too.
