Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

That looks fantastic, what a difference...

 

took the bonnie out for a local ride, about 35 miles, lots of flood water including on the roads in places, but not so windy today. the TORS sound great whilst riding and the new seat does seem more comfortable than the stocker

 

New X-Pipe, V&H exhaust, and Tune.

She’s a whole different beast now.

 

Yep those V&H pipes do trasform the speed twin......

 

Went for my first run out on the rocket...... Did a massive 5 mile hike to petrol station and back.

 

Speed Twin? Look again

 

My mistake, well disguised ......

 

Ordered a new helmet to replace my eight year old one, after trying many on. Wanted another plain white one, found out helmets with graphics that didn't tickle many young fancies can be marked down 53%. Pics to follow when it arrives. A Bell star with the MIPS system.

 

When you say "and tune". what exactly do you mean?

 

Had my local shop do the V&H Tune. It is recommended after a Decat and new exhaust.

 

Interesting. I was under the impression that the bike's 'brain' sorts itself out after a few miles but then I've got the TEC end cans and not V&H, so maybe that's the difference.

 

Put the grab rail and rear seat back onto NUDGER
Engine casings and chrome all look very dull after washing at the weekend
So I’ve sprayed everything with WD40 and straight away I can see it’ll clean up ok
Need to remove the Monimoto tracker the battery tender lead and my Gerbing heated gloves lead
Gonna give it a bit of a polishing before I hand him over

 

You still love him don't ya....

 

I also thought the same thing and rode around for a while without a tune. A friend of mine who also has V&H exhaust recommended I do it. I can honestly tell you that it made a noticeable difference.

 

How difficult was the install on the x pipe? Have one ordered for my 18 t120.

 

Getting the cat out was the most tedious part of the job. It took me about 2-3 hours for the disassembly. It only took me one hour for the assembly. Now mind you, I don't have a lift and did the work myself with the help of a few youtube videos
Also, please make sure you use a torque wrench and torque everything back to spec. Good luck.

 

Yo @dilligaf you never said or maybe I missed it , how was the heated gear ? and the much more reachable control system you fitted ? did the heated cock ring work for ya

 

The heated gloves and socks probably saved my life
It was Feckin freezing getting there and Feckin freezing coming back
Yeah they worked brilliantly

 

put it in the petrol tank. Whats the worst that can happen......

 

I would say go for it mate
BUT
as it’s YOU......NO...NO....NO
