Thought I should move this into it's own category "Take off's for research" thread was a bit misleading. Specialty Spares is researching exhaust as well, and has requested a set of take off's (which member here is considering) to come up with a set of exhaust for the T-Bird. I have worked with Dale personally and he calls me on idea's from time to time. He is taking this one up because I have let him know this is a worth while effort for this bike.

I have the Long Cannons on my America and they are not a quiet pipe, but not too loud by my estimation and I love the tone and sound. SS does a good job designing pipes that bring out the nuances of the PT engine. Will keep you updated.

What an awesome sound! I'd say a bit too loud for my personal comfort level, but totally love that sound as an observer. :)

That sounds awesome! A bit loud for me, but this has to be the best Triumph exhaust sound EVER!

Thanks

Specialty Spares owner ended up with physical health issues that made him shut down full time production. He does however do limited run specialty orders for me. I have been considering asking him to do some cat eliminator systems if I knew what it should be like...open to any thoughts would be helpful. He may consider making a limited production for us. I'll check, we could make it look like whatever we wanted.

I would like them to look like either the stock slash cuts or the cannon look.
Thanks Eddy

Whats the status on these pipes? Was there any effort in design and or production? We really need to get rid of the cat on this bike.

Please let me know if there's production plans on these for the T-Bird, I will click the purchase button as soon as they come out!

Specialty Spares went out of the exhaust business, there is a company that is working on possibly buying the rights for their things. I know they are working on a Thunderbird option. Will let you know as soon as they produce something.
