Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

oh fucking hell look out

 

I’ve got faith in you Duck
You, an Angle Grinder, a Welder, and Unlimited time
What could possibly go wrong

Edit: to add I’m already looking forward to the first instalment

 

Went for a ride to Swanage this morning early.Then later went to Mudeford Quay,parked next to a very nice Kawasaki 500 stroker.

 

I really like your bike , and you've inspired me to have a go at one... Now I just need to find some money, time, space, a doner bike... oh and some talent!

 

Good on you mate,they are a great crowd puller as well.

 

I didn't know about them until seeing pictures of yours. The kits look well designed and not out of the realms of possibility for a numpty like me. So if the finances are right towards the end of the year, I am seriously wanting to try and tackle one. It will be a big learning curve, won't be quick, but hopefully an enjoyable experience, and if I end up with a bike that is roadworthy and half as attractive as yours, then I'd be happy

 

Yes mate,the kits are top notch,and the weight saving and performance gains are great. I actually rode it in anger today for the 1st time,and hit , a ton twenty,on a private racetrack,with more in reserve.Dyno,seat of pants is about 110bhp.Plenty

 

I had the tiger 1050 sport out for a run today. Now looking for a way to make the seat more comfy..... anyone selling a custom seat or suggestions?

 

Hi OsteKuste

Lovely colour! I am looking for luggage options for my Speed Twin - the Lomo bags look good as well as a reasonable price. I am very interested in which pannier rails you are using and how you attached the bags to them. From other posts, looks like you may be using the SW Motech SLC?

And how have the bags stood up to a couple of years of use?

Many thanks!
Stu

 

Check the twist grip isn’t getting stuck on the switch cluster

 

Saturday, Iridium plugs installed, cleaned the carburetors/injectors (they needed that), adjust throttle course, and akwardly removed the throttle limiter we have on french bikes . And could not test the bike since because of really bad weather.

 

You've got an over sensor-tive snowflake bike

 

Anyone know the bookies odds on him making it there?

 

A photo fit for a magazine cover! Very nice.

 

You might turn back and head home if you ride out on a Sunday into the Black Forest - everyone‘s out and about looking for some open space and asphalt to burn - you‘ll find congestion if you can call it that and plod in some number is out too. But on a Monday which I usually have off you can roam alone, pass occasional packs or also see another one enjoying the freedom. A few pics of my round trip to Menzenschwand today.

Beautiful!

 

Problem solved

 

I WAS going to ride it to work today, but suddenly the (aftermarket) turn signals and brake lights stopped working. So, I'll be trying to figure that out one evening this week.

 

The Multimeter is always a useful tool to have Duck, knowing how to use it is another thing but if you are playing with wiring then get one, whatever you do take care mate ask questions before going in blind, we don't won't a singed and crispy Duck.

 

Alton Brown has a great recipe for that. The crispy part, anyway.
