Rivco Titz? Need FWD Engine Guard

[1olbull]

So then a "wink" is a ya sure - you betcha??? I gotta learn the lingo around here.
Can find no nerfs in stock anywhere, so I'm ordering one from my WA dealer on Tuesday and wait. I did manage to find oil for my first change.

Well, I just received and mounted new Triumph engine guards today. As I'm sure y'all know, they are 1.25" in diameter and so far seem very stout. Will have to replace the 1" clamps purchased for the Rivcos. Mount up was easy peazy, like 15 minutes. Who needs Rivco? Well King, this case (thread) is closed!!!

Well, Ray Jay
Looks like you haven't figured out how to do a picture album either. Tried mine out just yesterday with the new pegs. I set the pegs up so I can operate the rear brake with my right heel and even down shift with my left heel. Only done 100 or so miles so far; but, starting to think I may even avoid the hassle of moving the Rocket pegs and ABS forward. Many foot positions are now available, including one with heels on original pegs and toes on highway pegs. I did feel the highway pegs touch pavement before the stock pegs, so I shall adjust them up some to prevent that. I am also going to search for some pegs that are shorter. My next project will be changing the bars that are too low and too forward for me.
Best Regards,

Bull you have a Roadster see if you can order a set of Classic Bars they pull back further.

Thanks for the yank, Warp. Afraid I will need more than those Classic bars. Long torso and short arms were great for football - not so much for cruising. I am going to need at least 13" or more rise with about 9" pullback. Have 18" apes on my V2K with slightly lower than level arms. The seat on this R3R seems closer in elevation to the bar yoke and the 13" rise will put my arms about the same position.

I have followed posts about your Rocketship and am impressed. Were I younger, I'd be very tempted. I used to ride slightly breathed on Ninjas through the mid to end eighties. Cruisers since; but, I did miss the handling and power performance. This new R3R has some of my old juices going again. At 66, my skill set has diminished a tad; so, I think triple K&Ns and a good pipe(? prefer 3 into 1) will satiate my old adrenal glands.

I'd like to find a 3 into 1 that doesn't rise up too much in back in order to accommodate larger bags for extended trips. Blah, blah, blah,
