In case anyone is interested this is a nice system at a very good price. I've had mine on for a few months now. It does not have the removeable baffles ...
Stopped in to pickup oil and to my surprise hidden among a showroom full of HDs was the 03 TBS. After some posted that the orange was really orange I expected...

At the rosemont convention center Friday(4-9pm), Sat (9am-9pm), and Sunday(10am-5pm). I'll be there either Sat night or Sunday, and you better believe I'll be ...
Hi All, Looked at the TBS in '00 and, after doing a stint on a Ducati Monster, I'm back to seal the deal this time (I think). I checked out the archives and...
To answer the question about an impromptu stop light grandprix....the sportster has a bigger and more torquey engine, which means at low speeds it will have...
... slower ... The same reason that the fastest auto for the first 30 feet ever built was a Model T and the (old) VW Beetle was a terror for the first 60 feet,...
... Can't really comment on the guzzi or the HD, but I've ridden the Bonneville quite a bit. Don't care for the "America" cruiser, but the standard is a...
I've heard from a former Triumph dealer...that the Twins were trouble..a lot of warrantee work, whereas the triples were pretty much problem free..Anyone else...
... is a legend, but for the money, its not the bike that the TBS is. The higher end harleys might compare (like the Vrod), but it fills a different need and...

Just a reminder about the 2000 model - it is possible to fit a center stand - mine has one, though you will have to sacrifice the 'extension' which would...
Speaking of which -- has anyone changed the sprocket combination on their TBS to get better off-the-line acceleration? I think if you drop one tooth on the...
from an engineering or design standpoint..it is always better to increase the rear sprocket, rahter then decrease the front. look at it this way..if you have...
Another good reason is that as the front wears it will become even smaller, which resulted(along with too much slack) in the chain wearing a slight groove on...
Hi Rich, Welcome to the club. ... have ... I find the throttle roll on to be quite nice. For reference, I got a BMW R1150RT (I think?) as a loaner bike once...
Aloha Rich, new 99 in a box. I thought there might be some still out there, now you've confirmed it. I've ridden the new Bonnie and liked it. Not as powerful...
Went to the Chicago show this weekend and could not take my eyes off the 03 TBS. I think I walked by it 100 times. I had a 98 TBS that I traded for a 2000...
On the side of encouragement, I have a Sprint RS and a 2000 TBS, if one had to go, it would be the RS. I can always replace the RS with another sportbike like...
Thanks for the encouragement. I've had heated grips and heated gloves, and like the gloves better. More uniform heat and they can travel to any bike. I...

I find the Thunderbird Sport to be a smoother bike than either my Ducati ST2 or Suzuki SV650. They are all close in quarter mile times, but the TBS is not as...
