Re: Triumph Tall Screen & Race Can

["Jonathan Schulster" <Schulster@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Burt,
love the stainless race can. Loud enough to hear over the engine noise but not too loud to attract unwanted attention.
Does anyone else have a problem with the baffle making a rattling sound?  As soon as I throttle off I get a very loud 'tinkling' sound coming from the pipe.  As soon as there is exhaust +ve pressure (ie. throttle open) then the sound goes.
Have to take it to pieces and see what happened.
btw, just had a great weekend in the Alps - the Tour du Mont Blanc - from Lac Leman (Geneva) down to Martigny, over Gd St Bernard to Aoste, up to Courmayeur, over Petit St Bernard (St Bernardo Piccolo in Italian), then the Col du Saises and back to Thonon on the lake. Best 400km (in 9 hrs!) I ever did.
cheers
Jonathan

Hi there Fellow STERS

I just bought a Triumph Tall Screen for Big Red, and I dont like it.  I kind
of liked the looks, but after installation, I noticed it was very noisy.
Wind buffeting sounds right next to my ears.  The old low screen is not
noisy.  I am 6'2, and the most comfortable riding position produces the loud
wind buffeting noise.  If I raise up 2" its a lot quieter, and if I tuck in
its quieter, but I just cant ride in those positions.  My 6'6 son rode it
and didnt notice it until he moved his head down a little-then he heard the
same noise-loud.  So its coming off and its for sale.  I paid 175US for
it-and its for sale for 125US or best.  Maybe I can trade it back to Orange
County Triumph for a Race Can+$.
While I was having Big Red serviced at Orange County Triumph, they
downloaded the latest Triumph tune with their gameboy!  WOW what a
difference.  Its a different bike.  Lots more low and mid range HP.  Their
tech said the tune in it was making it run really lean, and that I would
notice a difference-He was right. He also said that with the race can and
the race can tune-I would notice more difference, and a nicer exhaust note.
As I was driving away-I realized that I should have bought the race can!
How about it-Do you STERS like the Triumph race can?
