    Numbing Hands

    I am getting a few miles on the GT. Runs great. I used some insolation to hold back the heat from the pipes. My only problem is the vibration in the hand grips. Like other bikes that I had a similar problem , I put on a set of Buddy Grips. They worked great on the BMWs, Indians , and Moto...

    Hi Again F0lks:: Interlocking brakes

    I tried several ways to find out if the front & rear brakes are interlocked. In short, pulling the front brake lever, also causes the rear brake to activate. I have an artificial leg ( right side below the knee) . Need to know what works & what does not. Thanks Russ OKC

    For your info on the Radiator cap set screw.

    Yesterday I got in a new horn. To beat the heat and have a few hours to kill before a doctor app. I did not know that the radiator cap has a set screw. They bend very easily. Ace Hardware has them, along with a fallen wrench. I picked up an extra screw just in case. Now that I have a spare...

    Looks Weird But Works Great

    You folks have been helping me for the last few months on this bike + on the 06 nightmare I handsome years ago. So I am going to try to pay back a portion. In 1974 I went to a BMW rally in Vermont. They were selling Real sheep skins for $30, to be used as seat covers. At that time I was still...

    Triumph R3 GT 2020 VS 2023 differences.

    I found a set of crash bars. NOT China. On his compatibility list, he has 2020 thru 2022. I have a 2023. I don't believe that there would be any differences that would prevent mounting the crash bars. It is better to ask now, than cuss up a storm later if I am wrong. Thanks Russ

    Has anyone tried one of the Crash bar sets on eBay.

    I have had the MC for some months now. I have gotten used to it and am comfortable with the handling. I even figured out the computer setup. That said, I would still be more comfortable with a set of crash bars on the bike. I found a distributor out of LA, Calif. He has a lot of positive...

    The service light came on (A little light shaped like a wrench). It stays on.

    Exhaust pipe heat shield. Easy & not expensive

    Right after my first ride, I knew I would have to do something about the heat coming off the exhaust manifold. Some of the made in China were ugly and expensive. I talked to a friend who owns an Indian dealership. They had to stop using the wrap-around type because they held moisture and...

    Hi Folks things ae going pretty good so far. I do have a question on handlebar vibration.

    I noticed the handlebar vibration, not too long after I got the bike. In the past, with other bikes, I have used "Buddy Grips" which have done a pretty good job of reducing the vibs by maybe 90%. Not so here. Although better my hands still will go numb. I also wear gloves with gel padding...

    Dumb Question 115 Difference between 2022 & 2023 GT models

    I have been looking for crash bars for my 23 R3 GT. Came across some on eBay. The advert says for 2020 thru 2022 GTs . Is there that much difference between them & mine so the crash bars won't work? I would feel a lot more comfortable with them. Russ in OKC
