  1. Anybody ever have the throttle cables stick?

    And solved with non-Triumph parts. :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol: Actually the grinding down of the throttle sleeve to fit the Kury grip was the culprit. If I would have fitted a proper RH Triumph Kury grip instead of the "universal" the problem would have never happened. :oops: Live &...

  2. Anybody ever have the throttle cables stick?

    Well, I finally found the problem & fixed it. Turns out the throttle cables are just fine, the problem was the throttle grip sleeve! I had retrofit Valkyrie bars for a better ride position & added Kury Iso grips. Seems the combination of maybe a slightly different bar diameter combined with the...

  3. ..drive train lash??????..

    Mine does it too. But so does the Valkyrie, I guess it's just a big bike thing! :lol:

  4. Anybody ever have the throttle cables stick?

    On the ride back from the Keys I noticed I had aquired cruise control without doing a thing. :lol: It got progressively worse on the trip back. I had to physically twist the throttle back to close. :shock: Anyways I kinda figured it just needed a good cable lubing so I disassembled the...

  5. Upgrade exhaust

    D&D, RH side only. No catbox, a 2 into 1 y-pipe clamps directly to the stock head pipe & reuses the stock RH shield. Simple, clean, looks & sounds good. :wink: [/img]

  6. Rear brake pad replacement

    Took me longer to remove the RH Corbin bag than it did to replace the pads! :lol: :wink:

  7. K&N's + Bearclaw

    Pics! Pics! Pics!..........please. :wink:

  8. Looking for parts

    I got Reg's RH cover & have put it to good use on my D&Ds! :wink: [/img] Sorry, I cut up my OE mount brackets for my glasspack "experiment". :cry:

  9. OBD II

    Not sure Wolf. I quit paying attention to the Ford high-performance scene when the "modular" engine series replaced the small block series years ago. I used to sell quite a bit of Motorsports/SVO parts 15+ years ago.

  10. OBD II

    On Board Diagnostics II. SVT I am assuming from your handle that you may work at a Ford dealer and/or are very fond of Ford high performance vehicles. I'm a parts manager at an L/M dealership. OBD has been around a while and seems to be on a wide variety of vehicles. I agree with RiderRocketman...

  11. Black Bear Claw - Finally

    AARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!! :shock: :shock: My Eyes, My Eyes!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: That's just not nice MD!!! :shock:

  12. D & D Exhaust query

    Are D&D's a RH side exhaust only? Just checking.

  13. transmission problem's

    So far so good on the transmission front here. My '05 shifts smoothly with no problems approaching 15,000 miles. It shifts very much like my 80,000 mile Valkyrie, a lot of the same noises and similar clunkiness. I guess I have a "properly installed" bearing model. But I did buy an extended...

  14. Rick Mayer seat feedback/Radar Detectors . . . ??

    My extra stock seat is packed up & ready to UPS out to Rick. Just gotta take a couple of pics this weekend & shot them off to him. I'll let everyone know what I find about his work. That's a big 10-4 on the stock Triumph seat offerings Orwell! I've had both too & I think the standard is...
