    Radiator Cap Fitting

    Recently lost my cap as well after doing a coolant flush. After some back and forth trying to figure out part numbers (with the originals being discontinued) triumph dealer informed me its available as a kit now that includes the cap and the molding and everything else T2101174 Filler Cap Cover Kit.

    Air Filter Change

    Trickiest part is unseating and reseating the filter cover/lid. It’s a real PITA

    Mounting an Exedra Max rear tire on the new 3R = Better Handling

    Mounting an Exedra Max rear tire on the new 3R = Better Handling

    Finally got out for a ride this weekend with the new tire and finally got the suspension dialed in. Feels like a new bike. The turn in IS better. Very happy so far.

    Rear Wheel Roller Bearing Lube

    Just did this myself. Super quick job but yeah you need some kind of brush to get the grease into the rollers. Or very tiny fingers.

    Mounting an Exedra Max rear tire on the new 3R = Better Handling
