A Follow Up On JackBeQuick

I have mine, bolt them on and forget them....until you use them and then you are ever so thankful!

Hey, I wasn't saying they were poorly bent metal pieces. They're nicely bent metal pieces with holes in the right places. I'm not telling anyone to not get them, I'm just saying that to me they're a tad bit on the pricey side. To each his own. If people get pissed off at an opinion like that, they need to cultivate a longer fuse.

For reasons unknown, Triumph had a difference in the frame at JBQ's mounting point for the 2011 R3 Roadster. The mounting bracket for the tube that supports the right foot peg has a very thick "spacer" as built into the mount.
The R3 JBQ will not fit this model / year.
2009 and earlier is OK; 2012 and later is OK; 2010 unknown.

It's really curious the oddball changes Triumph makes one year, and then backs up the next to something previous. I have reckoned that design engineers are just trying to justify their jobs when no major changes are requested or desired by the powers that be.

I just picked mine up at the post office. VERY NICE piece, hardware and all! Well worth the cost, in my opinion. Thanks Bob!

Well, as if there were any doubt by now let me show my Rocket jacked up and ready for winter service. The left rail of the jack is on the Jack B Quick pad, and the right rail supports the engine, and the front of the bike. The JBQ pad supports the back of the bike. Of course I have it well strapped for with my clumsy way of servicing I will knock it over given the chance. I am going to do tires, a Suzuki regulator, and perhaps a Ramair kit. And let me emphasize, the Jack B Quick jacking brackets are the way to go!

Sorry for the lack of photos Bob but this thread seems to ID the issue.

What is the width of the "very thick" spacer as against the 'normal' width spacer. The example above appears to have an 'extra' bit welded on the top mount lug right where the arrow points in photo#2 post #23.

I just checked my 12/09 manufactured 2010 Roadster and it does have a spacer but finding out what is "very thick" is a decider at this stage.

Just re-checked yesterday in good sunlight with images on my laptop (not just a pissy torch at night), my Aussie spec Roadster has identical width lug spacers to the 2011 photos above which rules JBQs out for me.

Maybe not, JBQ have modified later production pieces to accommodate if I am not mistaken.

Getting one of these is on my to do list.
