    Want to Buy Front Fender Trim

    Sorry it's taken so long to check this out. My local stealership couldn't figure out whether the Roadie version would work. I'm still in the dark. I'll keep trying to find out about this. If anyone else has a clue, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks. MM

    That's what I'm going to c heck on - see if the PN's match up. I'm thinking the Roadie might have a narrower fender.

    Want to Buy Front Fender Trim

    albertaduke, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if your classic roadster version will mate up with my Touring. I couldn't get a definitive answer looking at the stuff on triumphestore.com.

    Want to Buy Front Fender Trim

    I put a nice scratch on the front edge of the front fender of Ol' Blue. Anyone know where I can get a Triumph front fender trim kit (A9708145)? Thanks.

    Bad Dyno Tune - Timing Question

    Thanks for the tip, bob. A few years ago I asked Wayne Tripp for his recommendation(s) for a tuner in the Northwest. He didn't know of any he could recommend and instead steered me to a guy in the Bay Area. Logistically not in the cards. He was also really proud of his work (almost $1K for a...

    Bad Dyno Tune - Timing Question

    I've been out of the area and have not been able to deal with things motorcycle since shortly after I started this thread. Sick family and legal crap have a tendency to simply suck the life out of you. Watcher, I'd like to take you up on your offer to send me a couple of tunes for Ol' Blue...

    Bad Dyno Tune - Timing Question

    Thanks, Speedy. Warp is an old friend of mine from my days on the .com site as gorgerider. I still don't even want to try and pronounce his last name, though. I can barely handle the "Scott" part. It's about time I gave him a shout - if for no other reason than to see if he's still making killer...

    Bad Dyno Tune - Timing Question

    Speedy, thanks for pointing out I don't read worth a crap anymore. :) I stand corrected and humbled. Please understand I'm not trying to contradict or do anything other than try and figure out if, by adding an octane booster, I will do any damage on top of that which I'm sure I've already done...

    Bad Dyno Tune - Timing Question

    Here was one of many references to DIY octane booster: http://swimminginthought.com/boosting-octane-yourself-research-it-proved-it/ This recipe calls for 0.25 oz diesel and 0.25 oz ATF in 100 oz toluene. That recipe dilutes 16 oz of mix into 16 gal of gasoline. Concentrations are pretty low...

    Bad Dyno Tune - Timing Question

    Thanks for jogging my memory regarding alternate tunes. I do have a couple of Wayne's tunes for R3T. He sent me a Tuneboy file (.DAT) labeled POWER-TRIPP Jardine-KN R3Ta. The filename suggests the bike's setup is the same as mine. Since it's a .DAT file, I couldn't use it. The second one he sent...

    Bad Dyno Tune - Timing Question

    Yep, I run with TuneECU. The first tune I loaded (before dyno tuning) was the one from the Danish guys with nearly the same setup. The first thing the tuner said when he hooked it up was that it was tuned "scary lean". Then he went to fumbling around trying to learn TuneECU and the bike at the...

    Bad Dyno Tune - Timing Question

    Ol' Blue is an '08 R3T to which I've added jards, K&N's, and Hagons. The dyno tuner I used (and wouldn't use again - not even to wash the bike) kinda screwed things up. He went for horsepower and torque and I believe completely ignored any aspect of timing. After about 4K miles, I finally...

    Tools needed to change out rear brake pads

    He said he was going to call you today, but I guess he hasn't. He was talking about going down a little early, but I think those plans have been canceled.

    Hey, Mike. What date are you going to be going down to Boise? Consult your calender and get back to me.
