    How do you find the Monza cap for fuel smell? I had to take mine off because these seem to have a permanently open breather and therefore stank out my garage in just 2 days. Love the look though.

    I have read on the forum somewhere that people have noticed the smell of fuel after making such changes. I chose the Motone product and thus far no smell of fuel since the change was made. Perhaps I have been fortunate, but I shall make a point of looking out for it tomorrow.

    I got protection, for the bike of course. The front axle protection was fitted some time back, the engine case protection was fitted today and looks very subtle…. Decide for yourselves

    So today I checked the garage with the boss for any signs of a smell from the fuel tank. Neither of us picked up on any smell, so I rocked the bike and still nothing. Not wanting to pass up a dry, warm day I went for a ride and filled up on the way home. I have again checked this evening no issues, so I guess I'm lucky, however i will continue to be mindful of the potential and happy to let you know if things change.

    Hi, it’s been a while since that last post, but I have been out enjoying the bike which continues to put a large grin on my face every time I go out for a ride.

    anyways here is my latest acquisition a Beeline Moto, Triumph version Nav.

    I have used a go pro style clamp normally used for wing mirrors to sandwich the clamp between the fairing and bracket.
    Just need to get used to it now!

    Hi, I had a ride out today. 2 reasons, I wanted to check out the new Triumph Blade shop at Stratford upon Avon and test the beeline moto on a journey that was easy but I had not taken for sometime. For anyone interested, I didn’t miss looking at a map and I found the unit to work very well and prompts being enough as I concentrated more on the road and signs. Like others voice guidance would be even better but I would recommend as if should you be considering.

    Thanks for the recommendation. :cool:

    I have been considering one of the Beeline Moto sat navs because my current Smartphone/Quadlock combo is good but I do get screen reflection and brightness issues using the TomTom GO app (other sat nav apps are available of course). ;)

    And I can confirm the auto brightness worked great on this bright sunny day and no issues with reflection or reading the screen. If you haven’t already checked out the you tube reviews I’d recommend as these are a very different experience - but I feel now I’m more alert to directions rather than rely on a screen. Each to their own

    Swapped the radiator cover from the stainless R&G to the black evotech today and prefer the look, so long as it performs

    this latest picture shows an updated seat, thanks Geoff, still needing to fit the grab rail! Also V&H silencers, in readiness for the MOT, I think these will remain, I’m liking their sound. Lastly a black sump guard, Triumph OEM and a Motone tailtidy.
    Let me know what you think so far.

    Tyres can be such a personal choice and today I decided that the Phantoms had to go!

    New Road Attacks fitted front and rear was my choice of rubber/silocone and wow what a positive difference. No more squaky backside moments on bad road surfaces, great feedback and corning like bikes should do!

    Not been out in the wet yet so cant comment on those conditions, but like others I have no regrets and loving them.

    Looking good, interesting grips on the tank, what are they.
