    Hi everyone,

    Thanks for this goldmine of information about our beloved rides!
    I'm from Granville, in Normandie (France) and I've been riding Triumph for more than 10 years now. First "modern" ones (a 2009' black Tiger 1050 and later a 2013' devil red Tiger Sport) and now old ones.

    18 month ago, I bought a 95' Trophy 900 (racing green of course) which I'm in love with. It runs beautifully but will require some restoration work in the future (mostly paint, but not only). And because the closest mecanic with experience of 90's Triumph is more than an 1h ride away and for financial considerations as well, I plan to do everything I can myself.

    Due to an electric incident last automn (almost resulting in the combustion of the bike), I'm in the process of changing the wiring harness. I've also some general maintenance planned: fluids change, new front breaking disks...

    I'm not a very experienced mecanic but I'm curious and willing to learn. I'm sure the information shared on this forum will help!

    See you and drive safe!
