I'm comparring the "clunk", or lack thereof, to the sounds made by
the transmission on my CB750 Nighthawk. There is almost no
noise of any kind when puting it in 1st from neutral and none in any
of the up or down shifts.

That would have been nice; the "faux" carbon fiber almost looks
real... If the chain guard was similarly colored, it would look better.

The cover is made out of the same stuff as the hugger, at least that
is how it appears, althought Triumph claims it is carbon fiber. It
looks good, all the same. The cover was $29 US and I think they
charged me $15 to put it on (it probably wasn't worth the money,
as it probably took them 5 minutes and I could have done it).
Thanks for the feedback. I'm taking the bike in to the shop at lunch
time today; I'll let you know what they say about the tranny.
