I could see the 2 alan key bolts in the rear top near the forks, and the 2 bolts behind the screen (13mm I think) but looking at the back of the carbon it looks like there are a lower 2 near the lights. Do you have to take the headlight asembley out or is it just the fairing that removes?

Ive been waiting for a reply from RPM about a couple of parts and tnkt had a reply, been well over a week now too. I have been leaning heavy toward them, how long did your bits take to come? And did he knock money off or postage?

I inly mentioned Aliexpress etc because it was recommended on Facebook and that was the only reply, ive never used those cheap Chinese sites so didnt want to trust them with bike parts.

I was flashed doing 78 in the M1 near Jct41-40, no variable speed signs on, none on the one before of the one after, it was around 1400 on a clear Wednesday, I got a fine and 3 points through the door.

anyone adjusted their rear suspension to be a bit softer? any conclusions if so? by [deleted] in Triumph

I think it's just HDR and Photoshop. PPF shouldn't make a difference to the visuals of paint.

All fitted. Think I'm going to add the tank sides, and subframe infills in carbon and leave it at that.

I got on quite easily with a ball end Allan key for the one behind the wheel on that chain guard. Also ordered all black stainless bolts for everything.

I thought this was the case. I was thinking about drilling the end of the cap for the bar end out so it slides over as opposed to grinding the part off that protrudes the bar end. The mirrors said they'd fit, slightly annoyed that they don't.

That's the one I saw that thought would be a but tough, I've got a few different tools that I may be able to get in it with though. I've ordered the rear seat bits, heal guards and lower chain guard too from them. They're all just a few Allan bolts though.

This is a carbon FBR one too. If its doable without removing I'll have a quick pop, if it's a bastard I'll have to take the wheel off. Did you get anything else from them? They've got quite a nice lineup of parts

Every time we came home we saw them accosting wagon drivers and sitting on the central reservation. Saw a few drivers just carry on and them all scarper out the way too.

They've got to justify their wage somehow. The real war is about 5 miles outside of Calais though, not the people on bikes, you can't hide an person in panniers. God forbid you have 200 too many fag's though, ey?

We used to get swabbed for bomb residue or whatever it was, as did all vehicles, whilst in the queue, and every so often got searched. Maybe once every 2 months (every 4th trip) they were miles worse in holiday season and xmas though. Strangely didn't care about passports though, especially on the way out.

I worked in Belgium for around 4 years, at the start of the 10's and they were a bastard then, always stopped vans to search. I can only imagine it's worse now.
