I was only going to buy new tires
So I went to pick up my 2006 T100 this past Friday from my local Triumph dealer. I decided to get some new tires as the old ones were starting to dry rot. I get a quote for the tires and installation (decent price, thank you Triumph New Orleans) and proceed to use the restroom while the service guy is doing up the invoice. On my way back from the restroom I see a sign that says: free installation on any accessories that you buy until the end of December. Immediately the possibilities starts running through my head. By the time I left Triumph I had bought and paid for two new Michelin Pilot Activs and this British Customs performance kit: http://www.british-customs.com/trium...e-package.html
Now, I'm not feeling great about the purchase, but I guess that's pretty standard for me after I make big purchases. I've been looking into the kit for a while, but hadn't totally decided on it yet. I made a bit of an impulse purchase. Someone make me feel better about buying this and getting it installed on my bike. Has anyone else installed this kit on your bike? Thoughts?

You won't regret it. Probably the best bang for the buck of any mod.

Look at the bright side. Don't think about what you spent. Think about what you saved. Coz that's a helluva deal on their labor.

How big of a difference did you feel compared to stock?
