    Triumph GT windscreen on the R, worth it or buffeting?

    I would be very interested to hear more about this when you give it a go. I was thinking about trying the exact same thing.

    Triumph GT windscreen on the R, worth it or buffeting?

    According to the Puig website, theirs is 360mm X 375mm at the widest and tallest points. The OEM is about 280mm X 347mm, but the widest point on the OEM is higher than on the Puig, so that may have a big affect on things. The height difference of 28mm (just over 1”) doesn’t sound like a whole...

    Update on tire wear on the 2020 Rocket

    There’s a good FortNine video about this. Worth watching. YouTube link

    Triumph GT windscreen on the R, worth it or buffeting?

    I haven’t don’t this, but I have a hard time believing you could get the wind over your head with any amount of angle change, unless you 2’5” tall. That OEM screen just too small for that and is decorative more than anything. Maybe it would affect the noise, but I never really considered it to...

    Triumph GT windscreen on the R, worth it or buffeting?

    Maybe I’m misremembering my high school geometry, but by this rationale, when the windshield is just held in front of the mounting holes with no screws in place, the holes in the windshield should be outside of the holes they mount to on the bike. Larger radius because not tightened into place...

    Triumph GT windscreen on the R, worth it or buffeting?

    Thanks guy. I was able to get it in place this morning, but it really seems like it shouldn’t go on this way. My guess is that they measure and laser-cut the holes when the shield is flat. Then, when they curve it, this brings the holes closer together and out of alignment with the mounts. Maybe...

    Triumph GT windscreen on the R, worth it or buffeting?

    I have a GT, and just took the OEM shield off, but left the black pieces underneath in place. Are those black pieces supposed to come off? The instructions didn’t mention them. Here’s a couple of pictures. You can see that the right holes are held in place to show the offset for the left holes...

    Triumph GT windscreen on the R, worth it or buffeting?

    @DOCGSS @EskimoPie Did the holes on your CalSci windshield match up easily with the mounting points on the bike/bracket? I just got mine today, and it seems like the holes are too close together (left to right) on the windshield. If I line up the left holes, the holes on the right are about...

    Bumper License plate relocator.

    Those are the turn signals on the US models.

    Triumph Connectivity Module

    I bought one of these last year, and it’s been great! Volume control, play, pause, and skip foreword/back. All this on one little knob that attaches to the handlebar and has a subtle look. Only cost $40.

    What are those L-brackets on top of the red rag?

    Hepco and Becker soft bags

    Weirdly, the bike itself seems to be pretty premium. Not a lot of pennies saved compared with others I’ve looked at. But, when I looked at the panniers, my first thought was “these look neat, but seem way cheaper than everything else on this bike”. If they had made a clever mounting system with...

    New Zard Pipe for the 2500cc

    I agree that spending $$$ for a couple of HPs isn’t very rational at my income level. On the other hand, spending $$$ for something that looks a little cooler and sounds a little meaner is also not very smart, but I’ve done it. For my R3, I’d mainly be looking to shed weight. I already like the...

    New Zard Pipe for the 2500cc

    Am I missing something? I can’t figure out what can be considered problematically “politically correct” in this video. Is it just that a woman is speaking instead of a man that you have an issue with here?

    How to clean burned material of the exhaust headers?

    This is sound advice. I’d advise one to use way more caution than you think you should when it comes to oven cleaner. It can ruin paint, chrome, rubber, and who knows what else. This would be a last resort for me.

    Original blinkers/turn signal for Rocket GT!

    I’m sure you could get something working, but you’d be stuck with the amber color that the OEM indicators have. Ideally, I’d want them to work like the Rizoma IRIDE indicators I put on my Guzzi. The front has white running lights with amber indicator, while the rear has red running/brake and...

    Triumph GT windscreen on the R, worth it or buffeting?

    I’ve been thinking of getting one of these. I’m about 6’2”. Do you think it would put the airstream above my head, or would it be going right into my face? How is it on the highway at 75-80 mph?

    I think he’s talking about the video from this post.

    Original blinkers/turn signal for Rocket GT!

    I too like the US blinkers, but I really wish they also functioned as running lights.

    Rear suspension

    I just spent some time properly setting static sag in the rear, and I was very surprised at what I found. I’ll start by saying that I’m between 175-180 lbs fully suited up to ride (depending how hot or cold it is), and I’m about 6’2” tall. First, the math. Full travel on the rear suspension is...
