Just bought a starter motor... Second hand, so I can hopefully either recondition it, or swap it out and recondition mine as a spare. Mine sticks every so often, and I have to bump it in gear to get it out of that bit....
I have built a centerstand from SW-Motech under my 675...a quality stand but not so easy to fix it. I was missing my third hand.
Thanks for asking. Just got through riders course, she's now legal on the road. Looks like this weekend will be fit for riding. 60 degrees on saturday. Its been nothing but rain here this week. You can read about the riders course https://www.thetriumphforum.com/thr...r-non-triumph-today.21073/page-42#post-484285 She did great in some really poor conditions. We had a ball.
Rear wheel is from a Harley Douche, 17 inch, tubeless, light as a feather. Been building choppers for a living since 79. Never felt the need to match front and rear wheels, especially since a spoked wheel on the rear of a rigid with a "substantial" rider on board tends to break spokes.
I did see and enjoy that post about the rider course in your link, crane operator. I hope that you get good weather this weekend and can get out with your daughter for a lovely autumn ride! We could use some of your rain here in southern AZ. We're drought central and the dust is so thick it makes it hard to tell what color your motorcycle is.
Got to love a meat raffle 'Pleased to meet you and meat to please you' If they don't say that at the off it's not a legit raffle. Rules are rules.
Took my lad to triumph Stoke to pick up his bobber, peed it down while he rode it home, but even piss wet through he was happy. now needs to clean it
So fall is here, I've got a deck and yard covered with leaves that need raking, a house that needs worked on, but- it was going to be 70 degrees and sunny. What's that in the corner of the yard under cover? Bikes! Maybe last nice day. To ride or not to ride? I'm horrible at being a grown up- plus I've got a new rider that needs the experience! To ride it is.
Great choice, @crane operator! All that raking and house work can wait. Sunny and 70º with bikes waiting to hit the road? Not only a great choice--the ONLY choice!
Bought a second hand set of headers. Cheap... stripped out the cat, welded back up and fitted to bike. Twin arrows sound much sweeter on the speed now. Loving it.
Haha. Yeh needs must. Been going to do it all year and then it happened. A managed to get a set of headers off ebay. £30 So didn't mind chopping them.
Beautiful, Lee! You could blow up that photo, frame it, and hang it on the wall. It's definitely art to my eye.
