    Fitting mid foot controls

    Thanks for the information. It's good to know that I should be able to sort the brake lines by using the "standard" bleeding techniques. I probably won't be adding the forward foot rests like you've fitted , as on poor roads, the foot forward position plays havoc with my back.....which is slowly...

    Diamond Cut Wheels

    That's very interesting information......which may come in useful if my wheels deteriorate further. Up to now, I haven't seen any bubbling of the paint, just white patches on the "polished" areas, but I will keep a close eye on the paint now that I'm aware of it. Thanks.

    Diamond Cut Wheels

    I took delivery of mine in February this year, 4 months old with 300 miles on it, and have been riding mine occasionally since February this year and so it has seen salt a few times, although I always rinse it of with the hosepipe before parking it up. There is some light marking on the "shiny"...

    Fitting mid foot controls

    I will be fitting mid-foot controls to my GT possibly next week if they come on time. The only slight concern that I have is that the new flexible pipe from the master cylinder bolts onto a fixed pipe near the oil tank that goes directly upwards and under the fuel tank, and as I cannot clamp...

    Final drive

    As long as the oil that you get is a 75W/90, fully synthetic hypoid oil that is GL5 spec, it shouldn't make any difference. If you want peace of mind get the Castrol SAF-XO that they recommend. You can buy the Castrol from Opie oils, but it has been re-named...

    Hepco & Becker Rugged C-Bow luggage

    Mr. Pix, I think that luggage looks really quite nice, and definitely better than Triumphs purpose made offerings. If I can get the pillion seat to be more comfortable for long distance for my wife, I may buy some.

    Got my Zumo XT mounted

    Ok, I've wired my sat nav in to the DIN connector in the front cowl. See the picture below to understand the following. The Sat nav wires start at the bottom left of the picture and are red and red / black in colour. I disconnected the power plug from the Triumph from the DIN connector. Using...

    Got my Zumo XT mounted

    In a few weeks time, I'll be wiring in my Garmin 595LM to the same power source. I'd be interested to see how it works for you. I think that tapping into the DIN? power supply in the dashboard should be ok as the Sat Nav takes very little power, so shouldn't overload that circuit even using a...

    Where is everyone getting their insurance from..and are they insisting on a tracker?

    I've just insured my 2020 R3 GT with Bennets. They didn't ask for a tracker. By far the cheapest for me at £315, whereas Carole Nash wanted £620. I put the value of my bike at £18750 as I paid just under £19,000 for it. There must be another reason that they are insisting on a tracker. Have you...
