Hi, I've recently bought my first Triumph, an 04 Speed Triple, the all black SE model, not had much chance to ride it yet but hoping to get out when there is no salt on the roads over winter, I also have a Kawasaki 650 Versys which I run right through the winter. Already thinking about some mods on the Triumph, I want an exhaust to let some of the noise out and have already found out the headlights are about as much use as having a candle in a jar on the front of it so something needs to be done about that. I was out a couple of weeks ago and it went dark and on the country roads on the way home it was impossible to go above about 45mph as the lights were so poor. Looking forward to learning about the Triumph on the forum. Regards Brian.
Welcome from a Lancastrian in Preston. Yep, rubbish lights are not uncommon. My Sprint was dire but my TEX with auxilliaries can make toast there is so much light.
Hi and welcome to the forum - candle in a jar? luxury! - the lights on a Bonneville must be the worst.
