Well CRM do them for the Street Triple in low or high mount.

Not cheap though and more than I paid. On the plus side, all parts can be purchased directly from the manufacturer.........and I mean any part! That could be rivets, packing kit, baffle, skin etc and Bob (manufacturer) is excellent to deal with.

Ohlins shock for Street Triple. closes 4 November.

Not sure of the value proposition at that price, but if you could do a deal on it........

I'm covered: have a TTX36

I'm in Palmy next week for a few days. Any chance I will see you Spd Triple with CRM exhaust about?

Not that I'm trying to compete with Al, but I also have the dual highmount CRMs on my 1050 if you want a perve / listen.

Would love to. Days are pretty packed but very keen to have a look if possible after hours. I'm up Palmy way next Wednesday, gone Friday.

Oops - Just read Wellington. Could be up that way before too long I hope.

Yup, in windy wellington. Home most evenings. Just PM me or post here if / when it suits.

PS: Bob Floyd who makes / owns / runs CRM is a good guy. His option isn't the cheapest around, but I think the best looking. You can't beat black mufflers and midpipe on a black naked machine.

For pipes I went with custom Neptunes. Mark was awesome to deal with. Check out the pics in my profile if you want

And yes, modding these bike is an addiction from which I gladly suffer

Cheers - I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for next trip to Welly. Agree totally on colour. I have a matt black 2009 Speedy.... Love it.. Love the sound of the CRM too. Are the cans anodised stainless - can't tell from the photos. Any idea if they will fit on under a Ventura pack rack? Unfortunately my bike has to do a bit of everything. Did you have any tuning dramas?
