    Eagle lights for ‘08 Classic

    Here’s a photo of the issue I’m having. The flange where the case meets the glass on the Eagle is 1/8” thicker (deeper) than a standard OEM light so that when the Eagle is placed in the bucket the beauty (retaining) ring can’t go on far enough rearward so that 1) The factory bolt is too short...

    2016 Ural now home - fun

    I got home late this afternoon from picking up my 2016 Ural Gear Up Sahara sidecar rig (2200 kms, could be on the showroom floor) . It was a 1300 km drive there and back (using a UHaul auto transport trailer - worked really well) and is SOOOO ugly I’m in love with it already and can’t wait to...

    Engine guards availability

    Anyone know where engine guards for an ‘08 Classic are being sold? I’d prefer black chrome but the Triumph stock #A9758099 seems obsolete. TIA

    Extending front brake line

    I've spent an hour reading previous submissions relating to this but can’t find the answer I need. I put a set of the Rivco risers on my bike, adjusted the supplied bracket that Rivco supplies so it would miss the bottom of my triple tree but the line from the cast splitter to the handlebars is...

    Pretty parts!

    So I got an email from Konquer in Kelowna, BC that my parts had all been clear-coated and polished and were ready for pickup. A buddy who has a sweet older Mustang and was into customs cars back in the day wanted to accompany me for the trip to pick everything up so away we went yesterday...

    Rivco TR3017 risers,don’t want to fit

    So I crossed the border this morning and picked up these risers from the Quick Stop just across the border in Washington state where I have things shipped from time to time. I get them home and immediately want to see how they fit. Step one is to relocate the front brake junction box with their...

    Carbon fibre hydrographics

    My hydrographic-ed parts arrived an hour ago but I just put them in the sun to get a feel for how well they turned out and if I feel like I picked the best shade. The base paint was a mid-gray. The shop at Konquer had shown me a Harley part that was a darker gray base and it was very hard to see...

    A teaser

    Heres the first pic I got from the airbrush artist who’s doing the paint job on my ‘08 Roadster. I told him what colours I want (Canada’s flag colours, in HOK candy) and a central white stripe the length of the bike and his handiwork spread throughout. I think he’s got the tank right on for what...

    Fuel tank float arm

    I’m only heading into season 3 with my ‘08 but from day one the low fuel level light would come on after only 70 miles. I read from others that the problem was the float arm and today I discovered how bent my float arm is. I’m taking a LOT of parts to a custom paint shop tomorrow and in the...

    Removing Triumph logos from fuel tank

    I’m beginning to strip the bike for a major paint/mod job and want to know if there’s an easy to get the Triumph logos off the gas tank. I’ve looked fully through the service manual and there’s no picture of them anywhere I could find. I’m thinking they’re stick on and some heat might soften the...

    Tired of cold and/or snow?

    I spend my winters in Mesa, AZ, for 8 years now. Three years ago I bought a two bedroom house in a nice smaller park here, with a buddy. As of last week, I’m the sole owner and I’m contemplating letting others visit for a break from whatever winter they’re experiencing. A park rule is that’s...

    Mounting a windshield

    Question from a newbie: Do the aftermarket manufacturers all design their windshields to mount on the OEM Triumph accessories 'front end fixing kit' (A9738051) or have they designed their own? I want to install a windshield on my new-to-me '08 Roadster but want to make sure I've bought the right...
