    Is it Fast?

    My usual response to "Is it fast?" is to simply state "It is fast." My brother in law asked how big the engine was. I said 2.5 liters. Not having fully processed what I'd said, he asked how much that was in CC. I paused before answering, and could see the realization hit him.

    Rear brake all soft and no fluid spills

    A temporary fix is to bleed the rear brake yourself if you're comfortable doing that.

    Tailbag Recommendation

    I use a Saddlemen TR2300DE. Plenty of space (for me) for a night or two, and fits on either the rack or the pillion.

    New Battery

    I put in a Motobatt MHTX16 hybrid lithium / AGM. It outputs the correct voltage (unlike most lithium batteries) and can be charged with a standard charger.

    Yep.

    Burnt on fabric softener!

    Dryer balls. Preferably wool, not plastic.

    Crash bars, engine guards, sliders Rocket 3 R/ GT

    Those are nicely done. Even better if highway pegs can be mounted to them.

    R3GT/R Windscreens - A Review of Three

    I came to the same conclusion. After comparing the stock flyscreen and a Madstad, I returned the Madstad and left the flyscreen off.

    Which helmet?

    I have an Arai DT-X which was apparently discontinued immediately upon having bought it. Can't even get face shields for it - thankfully I have a spare.

    Unhappy wife

    Same (mostly). My wife couldn't sit on the stock pillion seat for more than a few minutes. The Corbin setup allows her to ride for a couple hours. The stock pillion pegs are now the limiting factor - which unfortunately isn't as easily solved.

    low fuel warning

    That wasn't riding. That was rolling with style.

    Speedometer is off by around 10%

    I've never owned any vehicle - two wheels or four - that didn't read high. Used to be you could get the speedo calibrated if you really cared, such as if you put different sized tires and were trying to get out of a speeding ticket.

    New Rear brake bleed procedure?

    I have to wonder, for how long? Many of the fixes I've heard of don't seem to last any longer than having just done a normal bleed. If that's really a permanent fix, I'm in.

    Foot pegs

    Agreed. I refer to it as a "giant naked sportbike", rather than a "power cruiser". I have to think that Triumph is considering a touring-oriented bike based on a tweaked 2500 case and different chassis, but may be reluctant to risk cannibalizing sales of the GT without taking market share from...

    Flyscreen options?

    I went through the same dance when I got my R3GT. With the same outcome - I now leave the flyscreen off entirely.
