The one that wouldn't fit originally was the JL Carbon Fiber one, but he
had it redesigned and they should now be available. Does anyone have the
Triumph hugger installed? and can you give some feedback?

nope - I've even emailed to Triumph USA and got no response on the part
numbers

Triumph has not put there foot down and required that dealerships have the
CO meter. It is amazing how many problems can be solved by  having one in
the shop, yet many refuse to outlay the cash and instead play the back and
forth game until they think they have it correct. My dealer finally
borrowed one to fix my 509. After 15 minutes everything was setup ok and my
stalling problems went away. But of course they still didn't buy one ......

I will as well - they'll have to do something - just so they can shut us up
;-)

OK - I've got an urge to throw away some money - I'll take that wager for
$5, but we are betting on when it will arrive at the dealer - not when it
is installed correct? Talk to you on April fools day ....
