    Blown away by a sportbike in the twisties...

    There is a sense of achievement in taking such an enormous, ludicrous, monster of a bike out on twisty roads without going through a hedge. If you ride a sports bike you have to go twice as fast to get the same sense of achievement. So I wave them past. Getting old enough to appreciate comfort...

    Anyone tried XB Extremeblasters?

    Been searching... not found Supertrapps for that price. Do you have a link?

    Anyone tried XB Extremeblasters?

    I'm hoping if they are $100 it should be possible to get one sent over, pay import duty and end up around £100 (=$160). Will let you know if I manage that!

    Anyone tried XB Extremeblasters?

    Not something I had come across on this side of the pond, but now I know about them I will start noticing them everywhere! For 100 I will give them a try.

    Anyone tried XB Extremeblasters?

    Triumph Rocket 3 exhaust XB Extremeblaster tunable pipe slip on to header They look quite tidy, not too expensive and light weight. I want to know what they are like if set up not to be too loud. Anyone tried them?

    If you need the engine out...

    One was one of those holding the running board bracket to the engine casing. The other was also into the engine casing, but I forget which one. The guys in Merthyr Tydfil sorted those out for me too. An extra £100.:(

    If you need the engine out...

    Yes, if you have a workshop, the tools and the know how doing it yourself is the best option. I had started work myself, but soon found it was beyond me. I had sheared 2 bolts by then:oops:. I needed the forks doing too (one had leaked a few months before) and that was included. It was...

    III not 111

    Since the subject was brought up, can someone tell me how did the 0.20 over get placed under my username? I didn't add that, not on purpose anyway. No really sure what it means either. Cylinder bore? That had me puzzled too. Seems to be a rating system for how many posts you post or something...

    fork seals

    I used that technique Rocket 65 was referring to last year and it worked like a dream. I was 600 miles and a ferry trip from home when I hit a bump in the dark and noticed oil oozing from the right fork next morning. It was a holiday weekend and there are no Triumph dealerships in that area...
