    2.5 using oil

    Now I have another set of new o-rings and the Permatex goop is setting up. I applied it to the sensor around the black plastic housing behind the o-rings so when I re-installed it the o-rings got pushed into the opening with the goop behind it effectively trapping the goop between o-rings and...

    2.5 using oil

    After riding stick your finger up underneath that side cover on the left and you'll be able to feel the sensor and one of the bolts. If it's greasy/oily then that would be it and it only seeps out when the bike is running and cooks off on the hot case.

    2.5 using oil

    I'm no engineer but have done enough mechaniking in my life to know a bad design when I see it. The case joints are all sealed with gaskets that compress when torqued down to provide a proper seal. Then Triumph decides to put not one but two o-rings at the lowest part of the bike obviously...

    2.5 using oil

    It's leaking again so I'll be doing this once more. Since @Journeyman sent me an extra pair of o-rings I'll use those and this time I'm using goop on the flat surfaces of the gear position indicator. Don't know much about goop but the Permatex black oil resistant RTV gasket maker seems like a...

    Spider Poop on Exhaust Headers

    The spiders might be innocent though, probably caused by my leathers.

    Spider Poop on Exhaust Headers

    Those leave scratches even on stainless so that's a no no. Someone had mentioned oven cleaner in the past I think and I have one of those magic eraser pads somewhere.

    Spider Poop on Exhaust Headers

    What methods are recommended to clean these black bits on the stainless without ruining the finish? I remember some discussion about this a while back but can't seem to find it.

    Mirrors...

    Well so much for that idea. After paying closer attention to what I see in the bar end mirrors, which are flipped inward, I decided to cancel my order for the Highway Hawks. As is I see my elbows on the inside with good visibility where it matters and if I got those other ones I wouldn't see...

    Mirrors...

    They'll have to do and I fully expect to have to adjust to them but those solid arms sticking up on the ends are bad news all the way around. I've spent decades splitting lanes like a maniac on California freeways and though I don't get the opportunity as much as I used to now when I do those...

    Mirrors...

    I wound up getting the Highway Hawks and with shipping from Germany they came to $170 which is a lot but considering the alternatives they are well made, clear the reservoirs and I already spent 2k on a Vandemon slip on so what's another few buck at this point and I am after all buying all this...

    Where did you find the short pipes for the bar ends?

    Mirrors...

    I am about to do the same, I don't live in the city anymore so the mirrors haven't been too much of a nuisance but when things get tight they definitely are. I found the clamps on Amazon and will be looking for quality mirrors that are readily available in the US.

    Vandemon websites?

    So I spoke with down under and the US site is legit, they're getting ready to ship my exhaust.

    Vandemon websites?

    I ordered my exhaust from VANDEMON USA since I am in California and am hoping for the best. Their Motorcycle Performance Exhausts & Parts lists is as "back ordered" but maybe they actually have some stock available here as the US site did not specify stock level. I did get an order confirmation...

    My attempt to make the GT an actual GT

    I rode 900mi one way up to Seattle and back with no windscreen, just naked Rocket, and had no comfort issues other than not putting enough layers on in the Mt Shasta morning cool. I have discovered the "Wind Shirt" which is thin, blocks all wind that seeps through my jacket zippers, about $20 on...

    Now owing Rocket 3, how do you tolerate other bikes? What would your next bike be?

    I'm more of a minimalist and one bike at a time kind of a guy, just the thought of having 2 is too much for my brain. I also don't go through bikes like underwear as some do and tend to keep whatever I'm riding for quite a while so just having bought my '23 last February it will be with me for...

    Any quickshifter tips??

    It would be a YouTube moment for sure and probably not good for the internals at all with no road to push back.

    Any quickshifter tips??

    I did that the last time I disconnected the battery and let me tell you that 10 seconds in 6'th gear on the country roads where I live is no easy task.
