Two words to describe that kit: BAD ASS!!! Ive got to get ahold of one for my my 08 Speed demon. By the way, are those turn signals I see integrated into the license plate frame? Damn thats a smooth looking kit that really gets rid of all the crap put on at the factory that takes away from the great lines of the bike. Please let me know where I can find one of those kits and how many pennies I need to save up to get one of em. Thanks and congrats on having one hell o of a great looking S3!! I think im sold on the arrow 3 in 1 exh. setup!!! It really makes the bike look totally different in a good way.

The kit costs $195 painted or $145 unpainted. You can get them from Frog specialties http://www.frogspecialties.com/ He is expecting another shipment in a couple of weeks. The turn signals are Lockhart Phillips. They are bolted over a carbon fiber plate frame I purchased seperate. I got them at Chaparral cycle (part # L122-0041). Good luck on your mods.

9Ball,

Did you wind up using all 4 spacers for the under tail. I have the spacers used for the longer screw mounts but the other 2 I assume connect the side panels to the under tail really aren't needed. Also wound up with 2 extra nylocks nuts. Just wondering if you used all the fastener parts too.

My Ermax decal started pealing when I removed it from the packaging also. Looks like I can remove the rest with a fingernail. They should have really let these parts cure much longer before packaging. I'll probably repaint in satin black but the gloss black doesn't look bad with the gloss triumph paint.

Two complaints though,

1. For the money they could have fitted a Triumph connector to make the plate light plug and play.
2. They could have actually taken measurements from an American plate and made the plate holder wide enough to at least almost line up with the plate holes.
