    Broke a front fork

    So, one of my front forks got crunched in a recent crash. It's the right-side outer tube. Am I better trying to replace just the outer tube and rebuild the fork (sounds more than my ability), or, should I just get a whole in-one fork? $400 vs $1200 on bike bandit + labor. Also, any issues...

    Fitting 4" lights into 4.5" driving light bucket

    Hey guys, I ordered a knock-off Chinese set of Jeep lights - 2 7" LEDs, with 2 4" side lights. Gives me a regular headlight, with a spare and 2 lights for the fog/driving lights. Somewhere on here someone posted either these lights, or similar ones. However, I forgot/missed that the side...

    Broken kickstand switch

    This morning I've got a broken kickstand/sidestand switch. Was fine when I last put her away, so no idea on root-cause. Bike starts fine, but only in neutral. Once started, I can lift the stand, but dies immediately when I shift gears. Seems just like the switch isn't signaling the stand is up...

    No electrics

    Thought I had the ignition switch issue. The key had failed a couple of times, while riding I'd had the electrics stop and start, flickering, resetting clock the 12:00. All rather irritating. I did this last year sometime. Also, last weekend I replaced the battery as it wasn't holding charge...

    Jardines quiet baffles install guide

    Hey, When I bought my bike it came with Jardines, but no baffles. I've bought a quiet baffle set from Jardines - they have them if you ask, but not on their product list. Left over stock. They slide in easily, but what holds them in place? They came with what look like nails with little pegs...

    Braided lines

    Hey all, Anyone have a recommendation on braided steel clutch, throttle, and brake lines? Speigler has some for the R3, but not sure they'll fit an R3T - I know given the bike has a different rear assuming at least that won't fit even if the front does. Any other good sources? Thanks, Alex

    Heated grips blow aux fuse

    I have the Triumph heated grips on my 08 R3T, and when working, they're great. I've not had an issue with the cabling (new bike to me, obviously not a new bike, hoping this has been worked out already), but they do seem to blow the aux fuse regularly. This might be related to my forgetting to...

    Bolt-less seat

    Hey all, Anyone have a way to convert the Triumph stock seat (I have the long-haul 2-up seat it came with), into one that doesn't require 3 bolts? My other bike ('95 Trophy) just unlatches with the key. This is much easier to access the space underneath. Given that the heated grips on the R3T...

    How to Tune?

    Guys, As I work through the mods on the new bike I've discovered that the previous owner actually did a fair amount himself. Bike is an '08 R3T. First, after doing my initial TuneECU tune, I found a PC3 tucked away and hidden. Second, while putting on K&N triple filters, and putting on the...
