My Scrambler is now history. The new owner just heading back to NYC with it. :( Nice kid, and he was very happy! Anyhow, I'll post up the leftover parts in the flea market next weekend. I'll still drop in now and then to see what's happening! Jim :cool:

A few pics, and a story of woe! Loaded for bear, or camping, or something. Tent city growing. My GPS mount. More tents, but not even close to all of them! 1/3 of my tent with a queen sized air mattress. Jim and my bikes. Mike's very cool Buel! More...

I love a lot about the Scrambler. The height, the riding position, the look. Unfortunately the muffler was always in the way, and adding bags was tough, so I embarked on a list of remedies. I added Hagon shocks and Progressive springs: I added engine guards: I added Rox...

I have a Thunderbike Pipe on my Scrambler, and I realized it was a packable muffler. It is LOUD and raspy, and am hoping packing it will help quiet it down, and mellow it out a bit. I am not expecting miracles, but the pipe has a lot of wear/miles from the PO and I hope packing will help. The...

Installed a set of Auxiliarry lights today, 50 watts each! Tomorrow I will wire them up! I think they fit well with the bike, and based on past experience, I believe they will work very well! Jim :cool:

After a decent ride last night I found that adding the Thunderbike pipes to my Scrambler made it run out of steam at about 6K RPM, ran hard up to then though. So, today I decided to open up the intake a bit and cut out the other side of the airbox and filter. I did this with the spare stock...

FINALLY I received my Rentech Rack, and was able to install it with my recently purchassed JC Whitney Top Case. Not too bad, and looks great! It was necessary to push in the old Scrambler Exhaust Mount (I removed the stock exhaust for a low mount) to make clearance for the Rentech. I am...

Put on 1000 miles this weekend riding to the MOA Rally in TN. The bike ran perfectly, even doing nearly 400 miles of rain. My only real complaint is the Corbin is not yet broken in, and the mileage sucked at 30-32mpg. I suspect it is the mismatched jetting (originally from the...

Since the ROX Risers worked so well on my R1200GS I thought I would give them a shot on my Triumph Scrambler. As usual the delivery was fast, and the quality top notch! So, I spread out the parts on my tank bag and went to work. I proceded to remove the bolts holding the 7/8" bars...

Hopefully this worked. Just a lunch ride and a coincidence! Jim :cool:

I finally recorded my Bafflectomy. Finished. Tools and removed parts. Tools, note the wood cut-out spaced with a small lockwasher to center the bit in the exhaust. The new sound and video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCK4oI6owlA Jim :cool:

I installed progressive fork springs in my 07 Scrambler a few weeks ago, and left the stock oil in it, I was in a hurry. I have 3000 miles on the bike. I also shortened the spacers from the recommended length by about 1 inch so that the spacer was flush with the top of the forks. I have done...

In addition to my new Corbin seat, I also received new Tires, Avon Distanzias to be precise. I was very unhappy with the Bridgestone Trailwings. They rumbled like crazy braking, had uninspiring grip, and were not too smooth either. So, having extensive experience with the Avons on my...

Just received my new Corbin. Heavy as usual, but very nice! Side by side gel seat and Corbin. New seat on. Very nice look and feel! With ROC Straps on, the way is will usually look! With Corbin you need to let them break in, about 1000 miles, but nothing better for most...

Being me, I can't leave anything alone, so I undertook one of many mods to come, as much as possible I want to keep them functional and minimal. One of the first was to swap the exhaust, see that thread link, and to add a set of case guards. I got lucky and got these new off E-bay for $70...

So, I felt that the Retro Predators were just too loud for me, and I wasn't crazy about the lack of heat shielding on the Preds. So, I made a trade with a kind man from Iowa for a set of TORs to try to fix the situation. Here are the predators: They look nice, sound fine except...

Lots of research here, Triumph Rat and ADVRider and I have a couple nearly definitively answered questions left. 1. The Thruxton shocks and fork springs are the same as the scrambler? 2. The Bonneville seat and luggage racks mount the same? Notice I asked the questions with statements...

OK, so I love nearly everything about my new Scrambler, except to stupid placement of the ignition switch. I either have to kill the bike with the kill switch, or place the bike in neutral so I can reach down and shut it off. So, question is, has anyone relocated it to near the instruments? I...

HI :wave: Just picked up my 07 Scrambler with 2300 miles on it. It already has the Retro Predator slips-ons, K&N with snorkle removal, tach, gel seat and fly screen. Nice start! Now for my point. I already know that I want to swap out the footpegs, and I like Fastways like on my GS...

Hi, first post. My name is Jim, and I am a recovering, not, motorcycle junkie! My GS wont even fit now! Anyhow, just got home from picking up my new Scrambler. Great bike! =D> =D> 2007 with black paint, aftermarket exhaust, K&N desnorkled and jetted, Tach, Flyscreen...
