    Windshield Brackets

    You'll need these to attach your homemade brackets to the bike http://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e11021.m45.l1123/7?euid=fe65cf84b3a3441f8d61786a456110c3&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D160983582561%26ssPageName%3DADME%3AB%3ASS%3AUS%3A1123

    Fork Tools

    Does anyone know where the fork tools are ? I wanted to get dimensions so I could make a set for myself.

    R3 Valve adjustment tool

    Has anyone seen one of these or have one of these ? It's for sale on eat-me-bay. I believe the starting bid is $175.00 (a little steep). I would love to come up with the dimensions, as it would be pretty easy to make, and would save a lot of BS when setting the valves.

    Primary TPS price ?

    Has anyone replaced one of these lately ? I was quoted $134.14 . Does that sound about right ? Also are the new improved ones (with the blue guts) the same part # as the pos all black ones ? Any chance of Triumph picking up the tab on it ?

    Air box removal

    Last year I put triple K&N's on. I would like to leave the air box in place for storage. I would like to remove the crankcase breather hose from the air box and put the little filter on it to keep engine fumes out of the air box (I keep my rain gear in there). What is the trick to moving the air...

    Cam chain tensioner revisited

    Awhile back there was a post on here where someone had the dimensions of the tool you use to check your tensioner to see if you need the extra spacer. I can't seem to find the post again. Anybody remember where it is ?

    I think it's going to be a good year ! I put a bid on this stuff and didn't think I would get it, especially at that price !

    Bevel Case Oil Change

    Hi all, getting ready to leave for the Grand Canyon on Saturday. Checked my gearcase oil and found it was full, but kind of dark and crappy looking. I read on the other site that the stock oil breaks down and makes sludge that collects in the bottom, so even when you replace the oil (I'm going...

    UK Master cylinder

    Would anyone with a UK issue bike have a crashed master cylinder laying around ? I want the headlight switch out of one. The US bikes don't have that switch and you can't buy just the switch. Let me know. Thanks, Fred

    K & N's revisited

    Awhile back there was a post going about installing under tank K&N's . Someone wrote that they cut a hole in one of the filters and installed the air temp. sensor there. I can't find that post now. I wanted to read it again. Mine runs a little stumbly when I take it out of the warm barn and ride...

    Bevel box breathing oil

    I'd be leary of putting anything in or on a British bike made by a company called "Lucas" ;-)

    The Metzler flat spot

    My "new" Metzler has about 1500 mi on it and is about halfway gone to the point that it has the flat band in the middle. It's already starting to get the weird handling sensation. Has anyone ever tried to round one up ?

    How to stop the head bobbing turbulance

    I made my own lowers. Started with the stock Triumph pattern I got from Rkt88 (thanks again). They keep all the wind away from your head and ears. I included the black pattern pic because it's kind of hard to make out the outline when installed. I made them out of 1/4" Plexiglas. They work fine...

    Please look at this

    Do some of the characters in this paragraph look wrong or is it just my computer ? "Motorcyclists all respect someone who rides. It doesn’t matter if you ride a sport bike, a BMW, a panhead or ‘Wing; all the bull**** stops when you confront someone who has gone the...

    Oil Tank Removal

    Has anyone removed their oil tank ? Did you have to remove the throttle bodies like the manual says ? That would be a lot of work to change an o-ring. Fred

    Anyone else having strange characters in thier print?

    I have attached a picture of a page that has the problem. It has groups of characters that don't mean anything. Any ideas ? Fred

    Strange Characters

    I guess this would be considered a technical question. Is anyone else having weird symbols show up in place of punctuation marks. For example if I go to the sticky about how to use photobucket where it says to hold down the Ctrl key and hit the C key there is a bunch of hieroglyphics along with...

    Windshield lowers/exhaust smell

    Does anyone running windshield lowers (to get rid of the wind around the head) have problems with exhaust fumes ? I'm running tors and one of the anti-backfire tunes so the exhaust is pretty rank, some unburned hydrocarbons I suspect. I don't care about the planet, it runs great. The problem is...

    Another Possible cause of high idle

    Hi all, just got the Rocket out for the year. Over the winter I had bought a tuneboy and loaded a program for Tors/cat delete. The bike has always ran perfect but with the new tune I was having idle issues. It wanted to hang around 2000 rpm and when it finally did settle down it took it a long...

    Kill Switch Usage?

    I read something in a post awhile back about only using the kill switch in an emergency. Is using it more often a bad thing ? Fred
