  1. Dyna Beads

    Last time I put them in I used a rubber bulb (used for ear washing) to agitate the beads in the installation tube. I filled the tube about half full of beads then stuck the tip of the bulb in the end. Squeezing and releasing the bulb causes the air in the tube to move, keeping the beads...

  2. What if????

    Dropped mine in a parking lot when a car pulled in front of me. I just made sure to leave my face shield down while I picked it up.

  3. Poll... when will you retire from riding?

The speedometer, mpg, temperature and fuel remaining settings kept me fully apprised of what was happening. I ran the cable from under the seat to the front by popping it down between the top...

  7. Sturgis Run - Triumph Service?

    Triumph in South Dakota There are a few Triumph riders in South Dakota, mostly those willing to do their own wrench work. Closest dealer to me in Huron is in Belle Plaine, MN, about 5 or 6 hours away. If you plan on coming across on I-80 you will pass right by Baxter's in Marne, IA. There is...

  8. Hello from the Black Hills

    If you happen to be coming east on 14 through Huron, you might want to send up a flare. Maybe grin at each other...

  9. Clutch Parts Update

    And sometimes that 10 volts showing on the meter is the difference between 840 and 850 volts.
