    2011/2012 Tiger Pics?

    I've seen a grossly distorted photograph of a Tiger that's supposed to be built and in in the testing phase...looks like it was taken through a glass block. Anyone have an undistorted version they'd be willing to share (privately or publicly)? I heard this is supposed to be an 800 to 900 cc...

    Speedometer Error?

    Anyone have an idea just how far off the indicated speed is on the Scrambler/Bonnie/Thruxton? I'm guessing as much as 10 mph at indicated speeds of 75 to 80 mph but I haven't packed my GPS along on a ride to verify that.

    Ventura Rack Owners/Users...

    I'm really trying to find a way to make the Ventura rack work with my factory "City Bag" mount. Do any of you have a photo of the left side of your bike with the Ventura rack installed? And can you tell me if the forward mount goes between the shock and the bike, or on the outside of the shock?

    Anyone Used The Factory "Luggage Rack - Chrome"?

    Alright...I got no bites at all on the thread about using a Ventura rack system with the factory city bags, so I started looking at other options. From what I can tell, everyone but Triumph uses the rear shock mounts to install luggage racks & grab rails (correct me if I'm wrong). So I...

    City Bag + Ventura Rack?

    I have a factory City Bag mounted on the left side of my bike. Pricey, but I use the bag as my briefcase/laptop bag even when I'm not riding the bike, so I can sort of justify it. I'd like to mount a Ventura Rack (oldest son wants to take a summer trip on the bike with me) but I'm curious...

    Scrambler Gel Seat Questions

    I'm not having any luck getting a seat I like. My bike came with the solo seat & rack, which is comfortable but doesn't match the late '60's look (to me, anyway). From there I went to a standard Bonnie seat...looks more like the old bikes, but it's not very comfortable because there's a...

    Best Airbox Removal Kit for Scrambler?

    I've looked at all three of these: http://www.british-customs.com/triumph-scrambler-900-air-box-removal-kit.html http://www.newbonneville.com/html/airbox_removal_kit.html http://www.bellacorse.com/bce010.htm Since I'll have to pay taxes on the kit from NewBonneville.com, all three...

    My TR9C

    Somebody asked for photos of my Scrambler with bar-end mirrors, and I'll take this excuse to walk through the mods I've made so far (and what I plan to do in the short-term). Bike is a "leftover" 2008 I bought in May of '09. I purposely looked for a carb'd bike because I wanted something...

    Validation of Performance Mods

    Thursday afternoon I re-jetted the carbs on my Scrambler, replacing the factory 110's with 118's, and pulled the snorkel off. Then Friday night I removed the TORS I bought a couple of weeks ago and replaced them with a pair of Norman Hyde Togas that I got an outrageous deal on. Saturday...

    Got My TORS On, Now How Do I Get Fuel?

    Installed TORS on my Scrambler tonight, and it actually sounds like a motorcycle now. Lots more air flowing through, which leads to my question... When I "blip" the throttle the engine wants to die. From what I've read these engines were already running lean, and I'm sure the improved...

    (Long) Triumph Balfour Jacket Review

    I feel comfortable offering some opinions on the Triumph Balfour jacket now that I’ve done about 400 – 500 miles in it. Overall I’m impressed with the quality and function, and I’d buy one again without hesitation. Once I decided to go with a textile jacket (rather than leather) I pretty...

    Weight of TORS vs. Stock Silencers?

    Does anyone know if the TORS weigh less than the factory silencers? I'd expect the TORS to have less "internals" than stock, just wondering if there is any appreciable weight difference. Mine should be here early this week and I'm looking forward to getting a little more sound from the bike...

    Raising Eyebrows

    Flash photography sucks, but this is the best I could do at night, in the garage. Just got finished replacing my 2008 Scrambler's factory-issue plastic tank badges with the accessory "eyebrow" units. It was a tough choice between these and the harmonica badges, but I'm hoping to end up with...

    2008 AI Removal...What's This Part?

    I posted this on the Scrambler forum also, but figured I might get more "looks" over here. I (mostly) removed my AI system tonight. Mostly, because I haven't found a 13 mm tool to get the air injection tubes out of the cylinders. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The rest of it...

    Rate the Flyscreens

    Last night I got my Scrambler up to freeway speeds for the first time. It left me with an overwhelming feeling that I would be peeled from the bike at any moment. Higher speeds will be the exception rather than the rule for my riding, but I am now shopping for flyscreens. I like the...

    Idle Question

    This is probably a very simple question. If the right manual had come with my carb'd 2008 Scrambler I doubt that I'd even have to ask, but... Just got finished riding my Scrambler about 30 miles this evening, the most time i've spent on it so far, and I only started paying attention to how...

    Make Solo Seat Rack Stronger?

    After lurking here and on ADVRider for a few weeks I broke down and bought a "leftover" 2008 Scrambler. Seems to be a great bike for me to get back into motorcycles after a short 18 year break. My Scrambler was equipped with the tach, headlamp grill, and solo seat when I bought it. I...
