Love those black header pipes, I ceramic coated the headers on my red/black special sport and think they look really nice.

I put the Tiger chain and sprockets on my 1998 Sprint Executive and WOW!, what an improvement in acceleration!

Much appreciated for the tip. I'll have to go back and check records on this one. The owner before the guy I bought it from did have a different sprocket and chain put on it to make it quicker, just dunno what these specifically are that he installed. It's there in the records. I just need to fish it out.

Count the sprocket teeth.
I don't know what stock was on the TBS, but I think the Tiger was 17/48. It's been a long time, so I can't remember for sure.

From service records looks like 16/43 sprocket combo is on there with a 520/120 chain. I'll have to ask around over on the Triumphrat Hinckley triples forum but I'm pretty much certain that's not entirely stock, nor do I know if it's a good combination per se though I can say from experience bike feels like it coulld pull The City of New Orleans all the way to New Orleans ;D Not only pulls hard down low but seems fine too on the highway at well above legal speeds.
