    Torx Hatred

    One of those occasions when sometime in the past I had stocked up on stainless Allen head M6 screws and lock washers and found them. Yippee-Ki-Yay! I used longer screws than original to account for thickness of lock washers. As you can see in the photo of the right side fork cover I dug a...

    Torx Hatred

    Yes, could not post, not logged in, which surprised me. Not trying to change threads from an M6 1 X 12mm which is what my search says is the correct size. Just want to clean out threads from old buggered screw I drilled out which left screw threads from old screw. That okay?

    Torx Hatred

    Long story, short version, got the screw/bolt out after using my extractor kit. Accidently drilled all the way through the screw with the one bit that could make headway into the screw. Buggered the threads, thanks to the cross-threaded screw that I removed. Today received the M6 tap/die set...

    Torx Hatred

    That's a thought, seems to me I may have one buried somewhere in my garage. I tried my manual hand-held impact driver yesterday and again no luck.

    Ok, will give that a go first. If no go, then Dremel an X and use my impact driver. Good grief. I'm too old and lazy for this SH*T!

    Torx Hatred

    I have them on my Harley too, terrible, worst screw/bolt head ever invented IMHO. Anyway, removing my front fender, '15 RIII Roadster to iron out several dents that former evil lying jerk I bought bike from did not tell me about, among many other problems.. I asked if there were any cosmetic...

    Cat Location

    Just now I got curious about how my "silencers" are labeled. I forgot to have my phone with me for a picture but laying down on the garage floor I could see with my reading glasses a bunch of verbiage including, "Meets USEPA Emission Standards". I was hoping they might be TORS but no bueno. :(;)

    I couldn't remember what TORS meant. I Googled and got this: "Triumph TORs (Triumph Off-Road) mufflers are factory accessory exhaust pipes designed for classic Triumph twin motorcycles like the Bonneville, Thruxton, and Scrambler. They look nearly identical to stock pipes but feature a...

    By the way, I thought, "hugeeee" was an amplification of the word, "hug", which did not seem right. I had to ponder it for awhile before I realized you were saying the mufflers are huge, which they are. :):thumbsup::D

    I removed those bulbs when I installed LED headlights several months ago but now wish I had put an insulator between the contacts and taped them up.

    Okay, good, thanks. I don't know what the new crossover is supposed to accomplish compared to the old crossover. The bike runs fine and has good sounding mild pops and burbles when down shifting. I'm guessing the new crossover is intended to be an improvement in exhaust flow or power or...

    What do you make of that box he cut open? Is that a cat or is it a part of the original crossover pipe designed for some other non-cat purpose?

    Cat Location

    Well, that's what I thought, however, the fella I bought my '15 from said he installed a custom crossover and cut open the box the original crossover was attached to. See attached pictures. I thought the box he pictured was the cat even though it did not look like any cat I've seen. The other...

    Where is or are the cats located on the 2015 Rocket III, ABS model? In the mufflers or in a crossover?

    I will keep that in mind, thanks. 🧐

    CON-FUSE-SION

    Yup, exactly right. I knew that was a way to test the fuse by touching those tiny metal pinpoints on top of the fuse but instead I wanted to eyeball that miserably tiny fuse. So, I pulled it and wasted time trying to see inside the fuse with various lights and finally could see a very small...

    While trying to figure out how to add an additional tail/brake light to the luggage rack on my '15 Rocket Roadster, ABS, I discovered I do not have an operating tail and license plate light. Just before that I discovered that one of the previous two owners had cut the wiring to the cheapest...

    Hmmm.....I installed an Ionic lithium($125.00, 5 year warranty, 10 year life expediency, 500 CA)6 months ago and have been very happy with the Bluetooth iPhone connectivity, the BMS ,etc., that tells me what the status is on numerous variables and I have had zero problems or need to put it on a...
