  1. Levers - What options are there

    Maybe 2mm at the pin on clutch and brake. That’s just the way I like it. I feel like a little play is good to stay off the switch and relieve all pressure
  2. Levers - What options are there

    I bought the pro brake which looks like the rest of them. Benefits are adjustability and less unused length. The downside of these pricey things is comfort. They are squared off which looks good but the stockers are more comfy. I do have a little buyers remorse but they are red and black...
  3. Mounting an Exedra Max rear tire on the new 3R = Better Handling

    thanks for the good info. anybody pairing this rear with a taller front to increase height and lean angle? The lean angle is giving me a little buyers remorse
  4. hard to start when range is ~30 miles or less

    T hanks for the tire recommendation. I found a post on this site and I’m interested. I try to keep traction control on because I know I’ll rip through tires and these are pricey tires. As for the Rocket event, I’ll see if I can find a riding buddy to ride there with.
  5. hard to start when range is ~30 miles or less

    I’m traveling now so I can’t get you a pic. The pinhole is in the filler neck on the forward side. If you open it up it will let more air out when filling past the filler neck. I only fill all the way when I’m on a ride. I wouldn’t recommend if your just going to park it in the garage. It’s...
  6. hard to start when range is ~30 miles or less

    Hi Y'all, I recently went on a 5 day ride with all bagged Harleys and I was holding them up because of the fuel range on the 221R3. Once the fuel light came on and the engine was shut off, I had to crank the engine over for a few seconds before it would start back up. anybody else have this...

  10. Powerbronze Powerblade for GT

    I have the light screen (320mm) in black and i like the look. However after the first ride i went to the hardware store and bought 1/8 inch spacers for the upper mounts. Now instead of the air chopping me in the throat, it hits the upper helmet.

  12. Panniers holders (mounting kit)

    I had the same issue last week but my new brackets have a metal clip to hold the arm up. Not sure why mine would be different than yours. Anyways easy fix for me, i just used pliers to squeeze it tighter on both sides. No issues now and i did about 120miles yesterday.
  13. Hello from Texas!

    This is my first Triumph. I’ve been a Honda guy for a very long time but they had nothing of interest to me. I do have an old BSA 441 that is fun to rip around town because of its light weight
