I've looked at a Leo Vince and Arrow system for my 03 Speed Triple, both high mounts with carbon cans. What do the rest of you run? I'm looking for a high mount to let the single swing hang and be seen...

I run a Two Brothers high level (stainless) can which lets the swingarm be seen in all its glory and gives a great sound. There is a carbon option too.

It even comes with different indicators since the stock ones don't fit with the high level. And you can get a footpeg kit that keeps the rear footpegs (about 5 mins to take them on and off).

There's a new map that goes with it too that doesn't create any holes and seems to beef the midrange slightly.

FOOT PEG KITS?

I had the high can ordered in to show off the single swing too. Then I realized the rear foot pegs had to come off. My dealer didn't tell me there was a foot peg kit.

I have had my bike for 3 weeks and have been looking at Triumphs for about 2 months.

Because of this website I have learned more about these bikes than I think my dealer does. :evil:

I have a Leo Vinci on my 02 trip and love it. It's a high mount carbon, no remapping ,not too loud, comes with spacers for the pass pegs, but it does get inthe way of the rear turn signal on that side. I swapped the turn signals around so the short ones are in the rear, made a set of right angle brackets with some scrap aluminum I had and mounted them to the license light mounts!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-D

The map for my Two Brothers was recommended by them to the dealer. The dealer downloaded it as part of the fitting. I'd been warned off the Triumph carbon can - lower quality and cost much more.

The footpeg kit was a Two Brothers one - don't know whether it would work for other high levels. Don't see why not though.

Btw, (and I don't work for Jack Lilley or Triumph), the Triumph Axle Nut Cover kit really finishes the single-sider look.

Hmm..according to Two Bros website, the can is for 2002+ models, so I'm assuming that's why it works for you. I'm kind of wondering if I install the can myself, if the dealer would upload the new tune or give me grief about it......hmmmm....

I mounted up the Leo last night! In brushed aluminum it blends in with all of the silver chassis details and looks almost like original equipment (a detail I like). Everything is included, including the footpeg spacers.
I took it out for a test ride after I finished mounting it up and with the stock tune I didn't notice any difference in power delivery except for one small spot. I did a second gear, full throttle roll on from about 2500 rpm up to red line. It accelerated smooth and hard , just like stock, until about 7500rpm when it lifted the front wheel! The other thing I noticed was blipping the throttle, downshifting it revs quicker and higher.

Yeah, I agree. I'm surprised you don't see more folks getting these. I painted the left side one black to match the hub.
