Those dealer show pics were good but pretty small, so I enlarged them and you can see a good bit more detail in the larger size. One of the things you can for sure see now is that, in the dealer show shot at least, the rears on the dual exhaust are gold-colored, which looks kickass IMO!

Check these out...

The only thing that looks bizarre on the S3 is that big-azz drop down to the plate hanger. Hopefully that will be an easy fix as its bugging me.

Can't you just hacksaw it? It appears the plate would mount high and that hanging part is acting as a fender for mud?

What about huggers for this bike? I wonder if a hugger would even look better? It's looks awesome as-is...

Nice job on the pics.............the bike does look bad ass (IMO). Agree on the piece hanging down. Nothing a quick cut can't take care of!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok I'm liking it alot more . the Black frame and wheels look pretty trick ,although the tank and seat are still "iffy" IMHO.
Gonna have to wait for the show at the Javits center in Jan for my final ruling.... :razz:

CRIPES, TRIUMPH IS DRIVING ME INSANE!!

The top motor mount on the left side is still silver. What's up with that $hit.

Agreed - that should probably be black.

Very nice and all that but why hasn't it got the fantastic triple pipe set up the new ST has sitting under its tail end? Back end looks a bit too Ducati/Buell for me.
