Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Yep, and a right faff it was, too...

 

Sadly, I swooned over it as I climbed in the Wrangler to drive to work.

 

Careful you may have to alter the gearing if you frequent these altitudes to often

 

Finished the project tonight. No spraying fuel. No stink. All hoses routed. Cleaned out tank drains, as I think one was plugged from the beginning. Ripped up the neighborhood... slightly... but it runs nicely. Low fuel level still stays on, even with 40ohms across the terminals, as the sending unit is clearly out to lunch. I will have to fool with that later.

 

Just been tinkering with some autosol on the pipe. These were taken before the elbow was greased and jump started.

2013 Scrambler (aircooled) Tec "Desert" pipe.

 

Got a ride into work today, forgot how comfortable the seat and ride were .
Tired on way home, so will get a picture tomorrow

 

Went into the garage to do an oil and filter change on my Street Triple. Thought "brrrrrrrrrrr it's bloody cold in here today", so here I am, sat back in the house with a brew.

 

Fitted these to my sprint gt today

 

Look nice.....

 

Front brake calipers, What a $%^*$£%$£ etc they have been to remove the pistons! Now having a cuppa n a smoko before going to fit new seals etc.
Also ive managed to turn a 4 pot into a twin as the pig only fires on 2 pots! Not put new fuel in yet though so hoping that bursts them back into life? Bodyworks still off so wont take long to delve once again into the bloody carbs.Also found some Tank cleaner stuff i bought years ago so that maybe next job after the brakes..
Normally id be losing my mind with this bike but as we are in lockdown its a godsend as its always giving me something to do

Stay safe

 

Tried out some Harpic on my headers on the weekend. They came up nicely. Quite happy with the result

 

Well done, you should have done before and after pics, it’s good for a £1 a bottle.

 

You can just about see how bad they were on this photo of my bug eyed beauty

 

Next time remove the pads and pump them out on the bike ​

 

Very smart indeed....

 

Did you take them off? Great result.

 

Nope. Did them in place. Had to bend my elbows the wrong way to get in there And my OH’s toothbrush

 

Well managed to go around the pier barriers (Still closed for boating) to get some decent pix after work.
Traffic is still good with only half of workers back

 

HAHA If only that simple Rocker! I dont think these things had ever been touched. On both calipers the piston furthest from the bleed nipple didnt even budge! This was using your method. Several tries but nothing. So in the end packed them with grease....after a few attempts of this the %$£$% things started to move. Still they did not pop out. Split the calipers to use piston puller...no chance, piston puller with air assistance ...finally got them out! The worst ive ever tackled yet once out they didnt look that bad piston wise just shredded seals.

 

Rode her to work after lunch and took the loooooooooong way 'round!
