    Peg feeler upgrade

    I’m reasonably well clued up on geometry etc and my static sag is fine. It’s the spring rate I need to increase and I’ll go to racetech for them ( they sorted my 955 out) who will make me some springs to suit my weight instead of the progressive route which are only 10% stiffer than stock. I’ll...

    Peg feeler upgrade

    Ima big lad and now and again i like to warm the tyres up and ride hard. Like I said when my foot goes up I’m on the limit. But then again I’m riding a Roadster so don’t have footboards either. It’s easy to tootle round on the Rocket but most owners really don’t know or push theirs anywhere near...

    Peg feeler upgrade

    I wore out my peg feelers and my pegs in a few months. When I’m cornering hard I can touch the belly pan down and have my kuryakyn pegs scraping and I’m still not on the edge of the tyres. When the pegs start grinding and hinging upwards and my foot goes with it that tells me I’m somewhere near...

    Riding the UK

    The police are hot in Wales but they are more concerned with the influx of power rangers flying around blind bends and killing themselves on roads they don’t know than they are with genuine bikers who want to ride and enjoy the scenery. They are not anti bike, they just dont want the roads being...

    The roads are vastly improved in Ireland over the last few years.

    Riding the UK

    If you are coming to Britain remember that England is only a part of it. You will find the majority of the best riding to be had is in fact in Scotland and Wales. And if you take a trip over on the ferry Southern Ireland is fantastic too.

    Fitting motogadget indicators.

    Ive just picked up a full set of moto gadget m blaze pin indicators for my 2014 Roadster. Has anyone fitted these? I’m wondering what relay you had to use or did the stock one work okay as others have claimed. I’m also after a set of o.e. Type indicators connectors if anyone knows where to get...

    Modern Triumph reliability

    I have both - the speed triple is twitcher at speed but better through the corners. The Rocket isn’t as far off as it should be. The fact that ive put 4k on the Rocket and only 500 miles on the speedy this year tells its own story. That will be changing now it’s winter

    Modern Triumph reliability

    Street triple is a totally different bike to a speed triple.

    Modern Triumph reliability

    I have a 2014 Roadster and a 2001 Speed Triple. If you want a proper hooligans bike the speed triple is the original factory street fighter and the one that all others followed. As far as reliability goes don’t try starting on a flat battery and all will be good . Mines at 35k and has had zero...

    Buying in UK from Australia - Ripped off by customs!!!

    I did get most of my money back but I had a right battle with customs and they eventually caved in and gave me a refund. Took me 3 months of persistence to get there though. It seems customs is staffed by idiots who like to play guessing games with peoples imports!
