Great photos, lovely looking bike. Sure you'll get her running sweet soon. Congratulations on your new ride!
Hi Charlie and welcome to the Triumph Asylum - Nursie will be round soon with your 'meds' !! $2500 for that bike? You lucky bastid !!!! Over in the UK that's probably worth £3-4000 when fixed up so you've done well there.
Yeah, I'm pretty happy with the deal so far, got fluids all changed and fan seems to be working ok plus I found some posts on overheating issue on Triumph Rat...the one I liked the most said these bike are notorious for temp light issues and the bike is not actually too hot....so I've put some miles on it and all seems to be well...probably still do VW fan switch which is supposed to make fan come on sooner and somehow add an actual temp gauge... runs like a top though... love the super quick response at the throttle, brakes are solid...now I'm looking at outfitting......king queen seat, padded sissy bar, paniers, fly/dart/wind screen, maybe some different handlebars to sit a little more upright, maybe a pipe kit to give it a little more roar... pretty quite right now. Tough finding stuff in US but ebay.uk has been a God send. Any suggestions on accessory shopping would he greatly appreciated. Charlie in Wisconsin
