I've heard those words before.
It's working it's way up the project list...

Triumph rarely changed anything they didn't have to... Pretty sure they bolt right up to the later triple trees (fork center spacing and threads changed, but that was '67, '68, IIRC). Before you fit the disk forks, glare hard at the studs on the base of the fork sliders, and the end caps that retain the wheel spindle. The studs tend to pull out, and the caps tend to crack - least, mine did...
I soured on reverse cone megaphones quite quickly (like, still in my 20's); a Trumpet can make beautiful noises, but reverse cones are mutually exclusive with "nice sound" for me. Can't stand drag pipes on my Harleys either.
Goldie (yeh, actual Gold Star pattern) mufflers on a Triumph have a lovely tone to the exhaust note, with lots of muted and mellow deceleration burble on the over-run. Mounted kicked up at the back, they look tidy as well. Just sayin'
