Thruxton R Vibration?

I've come from Ducati too and but have noticed a slight vibration feeling but more noticeable after a 3 hour ride yesterday the top of my right arm and shoulder was aching big time.

What helps is a lighter grip and bend your arms so your forearms are parallel with the road.

For me it's a totally new experience owning a Triumph and sure over time any aches will go away.

 

I have fitted a set of Pro grips as used on Ducati,s and I think it has helped. Tried the 728 with the glod alu collers thought they would go well with the showa shocks, but could not get them to fit, so returned them and exchanged for 724 model which are easy to fit. Used Mito uk ltd in Bouremouth, and both Karen and Steve were really helpful and being from the enduro world Steve knew his stuff and they were a lot cheaper than ebay. Phoned him up 3pm Friday, grips arrived in 11am post Saturday. Really good service good people.

 

Eventually got rear ohlins shocks adjusted by dealership and this has also helped with handlebar vibration. Unless you have spring compessor you an,t doing it with those C spanners. Taking this up with Hinkley.

 

I think I'll do the same, had them fitted to a couple of Duc's and they do help......cheers...

 

Thanks, i've got mi dads old mk1 spring compressors, made from stegasaurus collar bones. I rode to bude and bideford s'arternoon,my hands were fine but my arse was a tad disappointed.

 

Ah since I have re modelled the dual seat the arse dept has not had too many complaints, I will get some pictures posted up. Oh of the seat not my arse.

Pottsy, did you manage to save the original grips or did you cut them off ?

Ordered mine, should be here tomorrow..

 

Ya as little aid said. Gently use a long thin screw driver. Dont rush keep driver parallel with bar so as not to poke through rubber. I managed to get a bit of meths in to lub it. It just evapourates. So wont slip afterwards. Use to put new ones on as well. Soak inside. Works a treat.

 

don't think they stuck the grips on, managed to pull mine off without trouble
