Hi everyone,

A few weeks back in a separate post I asked between the Jet Black and Comp Green and what would you go for. Well the Green won pretty much hands down, plus Felix's outstanding pics really helped make that decision easier.

Im waiting on the seat cowl as its on back order according to my dealer, but everything else is pretty much done.

Here are the accessories I added to it:

V&H slip-ons
Chrome TPS Cover
Comfort seat -brown
Front fork brace
Brown barrel handlebar grips
Headbolt covers - silver
Leather rank strap - brown
Rider foot rest
Bar end finishers - grey
CNC machined reserve cap
Aluminum sump plate - clear anodized
Machine oil filler cap - anodized

Let me know your thoughts and if there is anything else to look into.

BTW im experiencing the intermittent stalling at low revs like others have. Going to the shop on Monday to see if it can be fixed.

Once again a big thanks to everyone who gave their opinions. Really helped in the decision making process. Both the Black and Green are really outstanding colors.

** How do I upload ligher res photos?

Rider footrest is basically a larger foot rest for the rider.

Pros: They look good, larger rest area and more comfortable.

Cons: They are larger and longer so when needing to put your feet down and push the bike, they might get in the way slightly. Also no rubber on them so if it's wet outside, depending on the shoes you wear they might be slippery.

Re the stalling, don't expect any help there from your dealer. It's a recurring theme, and while there have been a few people who think it's been improved after their dealer "reset their ECU", the evidence suggests that it's some physical difference between different bikes from the factory.
Triumph officials over here claim it's related to minor differences in valve seating from the factory, and claim the issue disappears after about 5000 miles. One person in the US had it so badly they replaced his bike, and his new one doesn't stall at all.
Mine stopped (it's not a 'stall', as there's no load on the engine) a few times when new, but after about 2000km it stopped doing it completely, and I blip the throttle etc. all the time.

Good luck :)

The dealer mentioned there were a few other complaints so they are monitoring the situation. It happened two more times today, usually when downshifting. Luckily it automatically starts up immediately on its own, but this could definitely be a safety issue if not rectified.

Quick update on the stalling, Triumph HQ is aware of it and have the dealer currently trying a few things to rectify the issue. Not sure of what as of yet, but I'm supposed to pick up the bike on Wed so will be able to give more details then.
