Hi all. Just wanted to show off my new toy -- a '98 TBS.

I picked up the bike last month and so far have logged 1,500 miles, many ambling along the coast and through the canyons here in Southern California.

The original owner kept the bike looking perfect, and added Speed Triple cams, TORs, modified the airbox and rejetted. I added the solo seat and eliminated the rear fender. It runs strong and looks great. I really couldn't be more happy with the bike.

I've been lurking here at TriumphRat.net for several months and would like to thank all the contributors for sharing their knowledge and experience. If not for this resource, I don't think of I would of found my way to the TBS.

No. Unfortunately I don't have the jetting specs.
