Sprint Triumph Sprint St 955i 2001 Questions..

Touring , suck it and see.

 

in truth you'll have to run the bike round and see... the rear spring is adjustable both for dampening and rebound.... cant comment on steering damper (never had one) or rack until i see what you have on the back...there is a Givi plate for the Triumph rack available...other top boxes have their own plates that bolt on...

heated grips..i've found the oxford ones work the best....but the grossly over priced Triumph ones should plug straight in - you'll have to check on that though

been using my RS (virtually the same as the ST) since 2009 one up, two up and on runs right down the country Durham to Dover etc the main stand has never grounded

the simple answer though is wait for the better weather and ride the bike round and set it up as feels most suitable for you...the sprints are a good all round soild built bike

 

I suspect you'll have a hard time finding a genuine TRIUMPH top box but, as far as I know, they were made by Givi so looking for and finding one of the same shape might be the best option. As a good source of information and spares - including the back rack - try SPRINT MFG.

You're very welcome. Sprint Mfg. might also be able to help with advice on the rear shock. Trevor is very helpful and very knowledgeable.

There's plenty of knowledgeable and experienced Triumph people on here and I've no doubt you'll get a LOT more useful recommendations. Enjoy that Sprint.

 

if you get as far down as County Durham - or even the Wall - let me know

or do we just have to stand on either side of the border and just hurl insults these days .. 8)

very pretty...nice example of an ST...if you see the little hole on the bend of the frame - thats to adjust the rear suspension...an 8mm socket that you have to pass the extension bar through the hole then attach the socket to engage on the slottted bolt of the suspension...can be done with a screwdriver but the socket is a better way...... you probably know all this already... apologies

 

sorry don't know that one..i don't have a lot of faith in alrms...the bike can be shouting its head off and still be muscled in the back of a van (i had my bonneville stolen i belive in this way back in 2009) .....I tend to go for alarmed disc lock and a bloody big chain preferably around something

 

Welcome mate. I'm up in Kintore so not a million miles away although I have a 1050 so don't know too much about the 955 STs

You might want to look at SW Motech for a rear rack. I have one on mine with a Givi adapter plate and a standard Givi box. Alternatively you may get lucky on ebay for a genuine to box and mount

The rear shock might be up to the job but with miles, it'll wear out so you could look at a Nitron replacement. I've heard good things about them and they customise to your weight requirements
