Dill,

Mine were wired up to fit a Duke, and I had to...

....get some longer spigotts (tubes) to connect the carbs to the TRX inlet manifolds from Allens Performance in Nottingham (£40? for two) and a trx throttle cable from them too (£15?) or you could adapt a standard one.

Also, I'd take those blue trumpets off, and put on some proper foam filters to keep the shite out (£20 each? for Ramair or K&N). You may also need two inlet spigots to fit these on to (£20? each).

May need some new jets in, to get the mix right. These are not expensive, but would need some Dyno time: maybe 3 or 4 runs with jet changes in between (£50-£75?)

Think that's about it...?

The actual fitting is easy really. Me or one of the other guys with them fitted can talk you through it step by step.

These are by far the best and biggest and easiest instant 5-10BHP increase for the TRX, with a decent can.

Dave.

New they're £600-£700 from Allens. Second hand, probably up to £400, so he's priced them about right. I don't think they will hang around.

I put an offer of £350 in on these before anyone had bidded and the response from the seller seemed a little too obtuse for my liking , so on principal i decided not to bid on these so that hopefully he would get less than i offered......

so basically no one bid on them...... or else!!!!

Good luck Dill :lol:

We've all been looking it seems. There was a pair recently but they were at over £400 I think and I thought that too much for something with the unknowns of Ebay and being set for a ducati

The RamAir filters fit over the trumpets. Retaining their performance advantage (better flow).

You'd only get one set of power jet gubbins, linkages etc.... the bits plus new spigots and cables would make this expensive (Assuming you can get the bits)

I also looked at these and wondered if these are aimed at Ducati why is the picture showing a twin setup as per a TRX\TDM , what are you actually getting ? For your reference all prices converted to aussie dollars to buy in aust new 41's from Show+Go in Adelaide $1595 , ALLEN'S in Pommie land quoted me $ 1404 ( 565.00 pounds ) plus post $198 ( 80.00 pounds ) total $1602 , Yanky land TDM 41's cause they don't import TRX's $987 ( 786.00 US Dollars ) plus post . I got a filter from http://www.ramair-filter.co.uk as per Max's help and found them to be very helpful. Got a call today to say my 41's are in the post just in time for the next track day JESUS THERE IS A GOD
