Took 8 weeks but got my kit to convert my GT to Mid controls
All went well. Only goof was forgetting to put plastic plugs on shifter side.
No biggy. Not taking brackets off again.
Brake bleed went similar to normal but required much more time/effort than usual

I did determine that the front brackets could not be kept for highway pegs.
Both shifter and brake pedals hit brackets

Have my kit but no instructions. Do you know where I can get some or can you just give me some good advice.
Thanks
 
Just bought myself some mids, cost me ~480 USD for the kit. Was reading that you have to adjust the quick shifter and bleed the rear brake when swapping. Not sure if the quick shifter adjustment is possible without taking it to a dealer. It seems unnecessary and maybe it's not required. Anyone know for sure? About quick shift adjustment thing, I mean.

From the Shift Assist Install pdf (page 7, #40) the diagnostic tool is required to select control type to Forward or Rear so that the Shift Force Sensor voltages will be interpreted correctly. Those voltages are the reverse of each other, meaning that the downshift voltage for Forward is the same as the upshift voltage for Rear. Having the incorrect control type set is likely not ideal...

Which is disappointing. I've been considering getting mid controls, with the idea that I could switch between them without too much trouble other than a brake bleed.

Yep..it's gonna cost me an extra $200 in labor or some **** because of the quick shifter. ****.
 
Took 3 hours of labor for the Triumph mechanic to get my mid controls all installed, but they only charged me for 2 hours--which is pretty cool I guess. Just a note about that--the TSA (quick shifter) takes additional time and Triumph software to modify electronically.

I definitely like the mids more for riding engagement, but on the hour-long ride home, it didn't seem as comfortable on my ass. Not sure why exactly and it might just be adjustment pains (or some sht like that).

Time to get some miles under my new mids.
