Triumph Performance, SBT & Carlos
I know this has been said previously, but I have had a great experience with Carlos and Triumph Performance/SBT on my recent upgrades. The communication was great pre-sale, during sale and he has been putting up with my silly questions very patiently for the past couple of days while I put all the mods on bike. Thank you to Carlos if you read this.

What a difference in the feel of the bike these mods have made, did the TPUSA PowerPack kit, new silencers (Dominator Sports) AI elimination, airbox elimination and 145 main jets w/ 42 pilots. Will be taking a nice long ride next Sunday weather permiting, can't wait, will post pics and report afterwards.

Yep, what he said
+1 on everything MudTub said. I too recently bought the TPUSA performance kit (Dominator Sport, AI Removal, ARK) for my 08 Bonnie, completed the install last night. Carlos was excellent to work with. He covered all my questions before and after and quick shipping to boot. Thanks Carlos.

I got 140 mains, 42 pilots, thrux needle (NBTZ), no shim and 2.5 turns out on the pilot screw. The inital run was outstanding, butt-dyno says right on. I need to take a long ride to really get a feel for the setup. I'm also planning to get a real dyno to sync it up right.

Thanks goes to MudTub as well, seeing he answered some on my silly questions.

Cheers!

Agreed. Not only is he good on the retail side of things, he's just about the best vendor to deal with as well. Keep up the good work, Buddy!!!
