I think i may be perfect for Triumphs design team

You can get rid of the kink; but it requires new headers. The downside is that the pipes are lower to the ground and easy to scrape in a turn.

Yeah, I'm not that thrilled with the factory pipes either, and as Carl said, you can change them, but you give up ground clearance. I'll be keeping mine as they are. After four years I really don't notice it anymore.

I bought my Black more for the ergos, but then that's part of the design ain't it? Yes I've spent bucks on suspension bits and a flyscreen plus a few bits here and there. But the bike looks mainly stock. I like it that way.

Dale, one of the 60's model Bonnevilles had a kink in the pipes, too. I had posted the pic here at one time. Unfortunately, I lost the pic when my HD crashed. It is not a pronounced as it is on the new Bonnevilles.

Fortunately, I had this in my album here. It is the 1962 Bonnie that had the kink.

Personally, I think the kink looks pretty good with Dunstall type silencers. But, I might be predjudiced. :ya2:

That bike darn sure looks very good! :y115:
