You know that's pretty easy to do at home with just a battery drill an a rivet gun, right?
I rewired the headlights yesterday and this evening. Looks brighter (didn't measure but looks better) and more importantly I don't have to live with the knowledge it was wired up in a stupid way with one on a relay an one through the switch.
Nice n Fat Wiltshire, 22 Sep 2010 21:38 Moved it out of the garage so I could put my new banners on the wall then moved it back into the garage again afterward
Johnnystriple Kentucky, 23 Sep 2010 23:15 Road to bike night last night and got 2 giant posters of my bike for winning sport bike of the night in July. The posters are actual pictures of my bike taken that night.
Android Dereham, Norfolk, 23 Sep 2010 23:25 Congrats.
Johnny ?
Exuptoy Maesteg, Mid Glam, 24 Sep 2010 14:54 Been out on mine. Abolutely unreal the difference between the 98 and 99 engines. The midrange stomp is so much harder. Got my knee down a few times and got the front end up more than a few times. f!$% I love this bike.

(more than 180 in a 60............not clever, but it's a bit of dyke with no houses, no junctions and there were no other people/vehicles to be seen)

Blizzard Coventry, 25 Sep 2010 19:49 On a long run down the motorway you can easily get 50mpg if you sit at 70-80
Nice n Fat Wiltshire, 25 Sep 2010 19:58 I used to able to get nearly 60mpg on my old ZZR1100 tho not at 175mph
Phill Pig Hill, 25 Sep 2010 20:58 Paul 'the' Bastard:
Nice n Fat Wiltshire, 25 Sep 2010 21:01 I overtook a police car on the M4 with it. I noticed a flash of dayglo yellow nestling between a slow moving coach and lorry in the nearside lane. I looked at the speedo and it was hovering around 165mph. I didn't slow down. I hid it in my garage and sold it a week later
Anthony Lovell North Wales, 25 Sep 2010 21:21 Blizzard:
Blizzard Coventry, 25 Sep 2010 21:26 If you're not stopping and starting your mpg can be startling
Nice n Fat Wiltshire, 25 Sep 2010 21:41 Using the torque rather than revving the nads off the motor also pays dividends

You 180 in a 60 was in brackets so I wasn't sure whether you were just dreaming and was only seeking clarification.
I am so sorry to have appeared to have not read your post -nah bollocks I'm not sorry at all - now where is that bird fingered smiley
Anthony Lovell North Wales, 26 Sep 2010 19:49 Took it on the Ben Grey Memorial run, according to the route sheet 134mls and despite liberal use of the throttle still only used 11.82lts
~EARL~ gods country wales, 27 Sep 2010 07:15 i put 20 quid in mine after only doing 127 miles, the light came on at 120 ish.

Exuptoy Maesteg, Mid Glam, 27 Sep 2010 22:08 Fitted dark headlight covers on mine today. http://www.triumphtorque.com/media/file/...
spider13 newport, 27 Sep 2010 22:14 they look good but in my opinion it just hightens the possibility of some bugger pulling out on you as they cant see any headlights
Exuptoy Maesteg, Mid Glam, 27 Sep 2010 22:22 I purchased the light smoke even though it don't look like it. They are surprisingly bright when the lights are on considering the colour of the covers.
spider13 newport, 27 Sep 2010 22:25 all you need now is a black screen,i love black bikes funny how ive got a yellow one tho,but me old speed triple was blacker than a black thing
Exuptoy Maesteg, Mid Glam, 27 Sep 2010 22:38 The problem is I just seem to keep spending on it.
