Class! Had a couple of Triumphs previously (T21 & 3TA), well, years ago, and this is on loan from a neighbour as he isn't riding at present. Got a Honda and BMW as well, but modern stuff just isn't the same! Must admit I'm really enjoying it! Brings back the "essential values" of motorcycling...

A10, Golden Flash.

Just taken custodianship of an old (1961) BSA, but had a major issue with DVLA website trying to tax it! DVLA allow tax on new vehicle supplement, but need 12 digit document number! As the V5 was an old style one, the document ref on new keepers slip was was only 11 digits! Still waiting for new...

Just installed R5 mod after a winter of very little heat! Most effective and value for money mod ever made! £7 for R5 stat and a couple of jubilee clips, 30 mins fitting (30mm 1/2 socket is great aid to assist stat install with mallet), and it works! See if it's all ok over the blistering hot...

Thanks, just did a flea bay search, they're out there and affordable! Just the painting is the bit I can't do! VW made the "harlequin" Polo, should I go the same look on me FL!

Only bit on her at the mo that is really getting me is rust at bottom of both doors on nearside. Sure someone told me once that a patch panel, in chequer plate, could be sourced and rivited over lower few inches of door to basically cover it up, saving fill, sand paint and repeat every couple of...

How do these things happen? She always starts, just took a couple more cranks the last week or two. Parked up after 38 mile commute home, with no probs, in fact running too well! So left overnight, get in to go to work, cranks like a good 'un, but would it fire? So, called breakdown out as pay...

Thanks Colin, cant open this link, FB keeps saying broken link or I might not be allowed! Really annoying as it sounds like you may have the answer to my problems here! :(

Quality forum is this! Thanks, nice pic GrumpyGel, so I can now get a good idea of location and forward throw of the mount, I appreciate fully the lack of interest in taking it apart! The other brackets on the base of each leg of the A bar are still attached, so that should be no hassles, thanks...

Job done! Again, the last garage that changed this filter prior to me buying it was in Devon! Just can't get the staff nowadays, suppose that's why I love the FL1 and the BMW diesel, you can still maintain it yourself! Clip fitted in the slot in l/h chamber retaining breather filter, simple when...

Arctic2, the mutts nuts sir! The pictures clearly show the plastic part, which was loose in the r/h chamber, gainfully employed as a retainer for the filter! So, soon to be in the garage and placing said part where is should be, again, many thanks. The BMW part, if the beast is still with me...

Just bought second hand protector bar for the front with driving / spot lights. Bit of a hasty purchase, thought it was all complete but missing the mounting brackets that bolt onto bumper rail for secure mounting. Looking at instructions on TOPiX (great site!) I can get most of the bolts /...

Still loving ownership, no expensive bills as yet (still paranoid over clutch / VCU / IRD imminently failing!) and consistently getting 35 mpg, well happy! Investigating oil on rocker cover thought intercooler pipe gone, just turned out to be jubilee clip not tightening enough, so thought better...

Whilst trying to fix front n/s door triggering door open / alarm, noted speaker not working. Saw the price of OEM replacements, even used, thought I'd live with the silence! Then saw these at Halfrauds:- Fit pretty well in the original hole as well! Just 4 holes drilled to re-use original...

Just fitted a Synergy 2, and well impressed! Certainly not a neck jolter with loadsa extra horses, but from lower revs it now picks up so sweet, and greater torque through the whole range means smoother shifts and just a better ride, be hooking the holiday box on the back next week so will be...

Great places these forums! Heads up somewhere detailed it as the purple and white trace wire inside the door loom. So, card removed, unclipped loom best I could and started tracing each wire! Felt a snag on a wire near the loom entry into the door, see attached pi, fettled it back out of the...

Looking for wisdom again before taking passenger door apart! ONLY WHEN WET intermittently the door open warning comes on. Process of elimination seems to verify that its the front nearside door. Worst thing is when parked up and locked at night, and it rains, the open door sensor turns on all...

So far so good, niggles getting sorted slowly, just fitted Synergy 2, well happy with that! BUT....continually suffering intermittent misfire! Usual thing, EML comes on, running rough, then clears. Fuel pump changed before I bought it, changed fuel filter, has to be injectors! Whilst digging...

[QUOTE="4Bee4Bee, post: 4359645, member: 125715"]Regarding the horn slip ring. Mine failed also. I put a multimeter on the other unused tracks in the ring (used for cruise control etc. But not implemented in my vehicle), and they were ok. So I just swapped the horn button wire to one of those...

Hang on a minute........."where I agree they do look down on us older vehicle owners!". Got to be careful how I read that! :) Is that classifying me as a vehicle owner of a certain age, or an owner of a certain age of vehicle? Think I'm gonna enjoy this 'ere forum! Thanks for replies so far!
