But maybe in an emergency stop some smoothness would...

    Rear Shock Length (and how it changes the ride)

    Hello Again, I thought this was going to be an easy thing to figure out but I have found some really different suggestions around the forums here as well as over on triumph rats forums. I am trying to better understand how rear shot length changes the dynamics of the bike. I find it hard to...

    Piggyback

    Hello everyone, I am investigating rear suspension options... based on me (6'3" 300 lbs) and road conditions around me other than interstate (horrible with patches on every seam) I think I could really take advantage of a piggyback. (Logic being I stress suspension and with a reservoir they...

    Creative Solutions

    Hey guys, Thought I would share some funny pictures from my exhaust install last week. I took off stock headers and a V&H "custom" fit muffler. Thought others might get a chuckle out of these as well. What's RTV? by MikeCR posted Aug 27, 2018 at 9:40 AM Custom muffler adaptation by MikeCR...

    Thunderbird Rear Light Dimensions

    Hi guys, Does anyone have a Thunderbird or a Thunderbird rear light? I'm not a fan of the chrome... frame?... around the R3 rear light and the Thunderbird seems to have the same 3 mounting holes and general teardrop shape the R3 does. If anyone knows the dimensions, or even better has a...

    Exhaust Sealing Ring... grease?

    Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone uses Permatex or RTV or anything on Exhaust Sealing Rings when they are putting new headers on... Seems like new rings would be enough but anything worth doing is worth overdoing so... Thoughts? Thanks!

    Hello from Iowa

    Hello Everyone, I originally found this site while doing research on what my new bike will be. I recently moved from the Southwest, while there I did mostly longer rides on my Road Star but now that I am more gainfully employed (and the R* is getting on in the years) and I'm more interested in...
