Ok not got a 95 Trophy but on a quick search all I can say is good luck..

Triumph Trophy - Air Box Removal-95 1200 BBBB

Looks like a fair size job and worth while doing... Would be quite a saving doing it yourself...

 

Hope this helps

Air Filter

1. The air filter is an oiled foam element glued to a plastic spine, so it does hold dirt. The hard part is getting the unit out without dismantling the carbs. Remove all the screws from the housing (the lower centre one is the most difficult) and loosen the hose clamps from the carbs. This gives just enough room to remove the front half of the unit for cleaning.

Work dish soap into the foam element, rinse well, and let it thoroughly dry. Then pour a little engine oil onto the foam and work it in with your fingers. You can dry off the surface with a paper towel beofre re-installing. Don't overdo the oil, but also don't worry about a little extra, as it will go out the airbox drain.

Replace in reverse order. The lower centre screw can be left off.

2. You can buy a K&N Air filter TB 0002 (TB9091 after 1999), but the filter does not fit straight in to either of the two airboxes that have been supplied on Trophies. The difference in the air boxes are that one has one screw at either side and the others have two screws at either side. The filter can be cut with a razor knife to make cutouts in the foam perimeter to accommodate the screws. If you're careful and only cut out what you absolutely have to, you will not have a leakage problem after you modify the filter. A little silicone to seal it when you're done and it's a snap. Shame on K&N for promoting the filter as a direct replacement anyway.

3. Richard ([email protected]) writes his experience of replacing the air filter element:
"I've done it and here's what I learned...
a) Remove the seat fairing as 1 piece, only 6 bolts. You'll need 5 & 6mm hex-keys, 12mm socket. Suggest hex-key sockets and a "speed handle" type socket handle. Unplug blinker wires!
b) Remove the fuel tank and check all tubing, this is a great time to replace damaged fuel (5/16") lines. NEVER miss a chance to replace the vacuum line with new 1/8" fuel line.
c) Loosen but don't remove air intake boxes and hoses.
d) Hardest part of removing carbs was the throttle cable. May need to grind a cheap 10mm to fit. Only need to turn top nut.
e) While carbs are off clean or remove the in-line filters. Also carefully peek into float bowls.
f) You will need black silicone sealer for the reassembly of the air box.
g) Lube throttle and choke cable from carb-end using spray can cable luber and aerosol can of white grease.
h) WD-40 helps carbs back into hoses.
i) Dab white lube onto rubber seat fairing sockets for easy installation (and disassembly next time).
j) Test blinkers for correct operation before hitting road.

If you don't need extra trips to store for supplies this should take you a lazy 3-4 hours. Mine took 8 hours and 6 trips to store. Sure wish you were telling me this, not vice versa!!!"

Thats a lot of fucking about for a service part aint it? Bet the labour charges for a Trophy service are a tad on the steep side at a stealership
!

 

That's what I thought.... Def a DIY job to save some serious cash....

 

good luck mate and welcome I've got 1200 95 trophy that was my next job made me think twice now lol
