    Oooh Mate:oops:, Me Òs as got a ole in it ,cant get a new one til next week .Thats proppa Bad:mad: .Aow it got there i don't know. .:(
    (Practicing my Essex chavy talk for when i go over to Tilbury after Easter weekend)

    Hope to get it fixed( the bike not the Talk) before the Easter Bike show in Carlow, as Penelope is in it:oops:


    The part don't look right in the parts diagram that triumph have. Anyone who owns a Thunderbird or Legend will know the bottom hose from the rad that goes to the water pump via the metal tubing( part 3 in the parts pic) is an elbow:confused:. But on the parts pic its streight?(part 21) and the tubing looks like something off of the Tubular bells album:confused:
    Bottom Pic shows how they should look:oops:

    We'll not my Triumph but SWMBO's StreetTripleR....
    She bought it late last summer with about 5k miles on it. Added another 1k of her own and now needs new tyres. So fitted a pair of M7RR's. Surprised to find front pads needed replacing too!
    Fitted lowering kit to rear when she first got it but couldn't drop the forks 'cos the bars get in the way, and not great for handling. So crimbo pressy was a pair of bar risers....forks now dropped about 10mm (rear is lowered 25mm).
    See how that feels if we get some dry roads this weekend. :D

    Took part in the " Triumph riders WA" Triumph Logo rally, approximately 200 plus bikes took part on the York football oval to form the Badge "Triumph" , it took about 30 minutes. There was a Drone over head taking photos, they can be viewed on the triumph riders WA Facebook page, sorry can't post here as non shareable. My bike is in the left line up forming the "I" second from the bottom, it's not possible to make it out but that's where I parked it.

    Cheers capt.

    Just a small thought - if the rear is dropped by 25mm and the front by 10 mm, the steering angle will be slightly altered and the steering slightly slower.

    They do work but just as DD says they dont prevent all the crud hitting the lower frame but they do protect the radiator. Bike would definitely be dirtier without one.

    Great run to Bath today for the rugby (Bath beat Brive 32 - 20 to secure a place in the semi-finals of the European Cup) so result there. Sunny all the way there and back apart from the last few miles.
