The main reason why I continued to work on that issue until success is, that I love the clean look of the Trident and the Rocket. I just don't want to install extra stuff on it. My next bet on the Trident would have been the Beeline Navigation. For me on the Rocket, since normally I do the most navigation, I still glance to a Head-Up Display.

Another reason against the Phone mount was, that during long tours in summer, the IPhone got overheated pretty quick. I have to admit, this was in the Tankbag in the space for a Mobile...

Do it. you wont regret it.

However, people complain that it does work sometimes and its hard. But what alot of people don't realise a quickshifter is called that for a reason. It is designed to be used for when its quicker than clutch...! So when you're ON IT throttle open and going up through the gears, not just puddling around! They were never designed to replace the clutch in all circumstances. Going up the gears when you have the throttle open through the rev's and on downshift when the throttle is closed..  Nothing else.  If you are just puddling around then use the clutch lever, that is what is designed for.

Thanks for your answer. lowered front and rediscovered sensations! 

Has anyone modified the original exhaust by removing the cat converter to see what it sounds like?

Down here in NZ, we only have the trident available in LAMS spec ( like UK A2 version i think ). While there are ways to unlock to full spec, it wont have enough HP for me to want to keep forever. The $$ to spend to upgrade exhaust is a huge investment for something most kiwis wont keep for long periods of time, so cannot justify the spend ( between 2500 to 5k+ ). I am likely to own this bike for another 12 months before upgrade to speed triple.

I have seen the youtube and fb posts recently of what some of you have done by opening the muffler up, cutting a section of out the baffling/joining inlet directly into the outlet etc etc. However, seeing how tightly packed and long the cat is, I wonder if anyone has just removed it and seen any noise gains by just that.

Look forward to your reply.

A total of around 300M\500K so far. No change in performance other than absolutely zero stalls.

This morning's ride in to the studio up on my YouTube channel.
