Well it has been a while since I introduced myself and have just been lurking and learning in the background.

I'm glad you said that, otherwise 4 or 5 people would have jumped on you to make an introduction, and tell where you're from, what model bike you have, shoe size, blood type, bank info, and your mother's maiden name.

Congrats on the new bike.

Boony, I don't care how wet it is on Monday, or Tuesday or for the remainder of the week, I Am riding the girl

Seriously though, if you're not familiar with the bike, be very careful if it's raining. With all that torque, it VERY VERY easy to break away the rear tire.

And welcome from Pittsburgh, PA!

Yep watch it in the wet till you are used to the monster

I appreciate that heads up. From all accounts the torque does take some getting used to and wet greasy roads are not the ideal way to begin my introduction to the beast. Rainy days are intermittent with sunny days here at present so hopefully more sunny than rainy

Great to hear you've done it, I make a quick release sissy bar kit you may have been able to save some $ on and mine are stronger

 

[Mittzy]

If the dealer is fitting the sissy bar - ask them to give you the original fender covers (as they are yours) that way if you wanted to remove the sissy bar at any time the non sissy bar fender covers will fit and look the best

Hi Mittzy, I haven't asked the dealer to fit as I thought it should be easy and could save myself a few bucks. Not sure what the fender covers are really. Will have to have a look on Monday. I like the idea of a quick release. Does your quick release set up fit with the triumph sissy bar, or is it all totally separate?
