["Retherford, Martin" <MRetherford@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I reached a 147 (indicated) top speed with pipe and tune.

		While Honda filters fit Triumphs, are they the same inside?
I've always 
		heard Honda made really good filters; price aside, which
would be the best 
		filter to use?

		For anyone wondering, the Speed Triple hugger fits and works
great.

		Anybody know if Triumph will make a backrest for the Sprint
ST?  I'd love to 
		see this option as I HATE giving any money to Mike Corbin
for (in my opinion) 
		an overpriced product and crappy service.  His seat is the
only way to get a 
		backrest save driving around with a top trunk all the time.
Backrest would 
		be easy to do bolting it where the grab rail is now.  Should
be sturdy enough 
		and the same black finish would look good.  Anyone else ride
two up and think 
		this would be a good thing?  Eric, please tell Triumph
and/or Skyking etc and 
		see if they'll consider it.

		Anyone get over 142 with the pipe and tune?  I think Rider
got 142 as their 
		top speed.
