I tried calling Shell on Friday, but was unable to get through. Let us know
if you hear anything.

I agree - noticeable difference after the first 500 miles and just keeps
getting better. Was much the same with the 509.

I got mine 2-3 weeks ago - they should be readily available, although you
just may be waiting on a new batch to be delivered to Triumph.

Good plan - also, my comments on the looks of placement are based on a red
bike. That black switch would really stick out - on the black ST like
yours, I would assume that it would blend nicely.

Cool - better watch it on those offers - you may just get a pack of ST's
showing up at your door ....

By the weather channel doesn't look like you'll be doing any riding today.
I ran out this morning in an attempt to beat the monsoon that is part of
that same system. This year round riding can really be tough ... ;-)
