I don't have one so not really a problem for me.  But I don't buy the  
'rider preference' thing - if that was case why have they changed the  
kit fitted to all bikes after the VIN's cited to have the new stuff?   
Do you suppose that Triumph will be offering to retro fit the  
original kit for riders of more recent bikes who prefer 'a gradual  
resistance feel' (whatever that is)?  I have a friend who had  
terrible time getting a defective rear wheel replaced by Triumph  
under warranty: the idea that now they'll swap out your perfectly  
safe and adequate master cylinder for free just to let you change the  
brake feel of your bike seems a bit odd.  Do you think if I wrote in  
asking if they could beef up spring rate on my rear shock because I  
prefer a firmer ride than standard they'd change that for free?
