    Harbor Freight

    Had mine for 4 years now, been a pretty solid unit for me. Paid $299 and figure I got my money's worth already.

    Work done this weekend

    Once you get hooked on modification, the 18 will make sense. I started with a stock 790 and as much as I liked it, I started with Airbox, free flow exhaust, AI remove, CR carbs, billiit intakes, green clutch springs and a reprogrammed igniter from our very own Pieman. The end result was a 790...

    Song called, "Triumph"

    That is a gem and I have bookmarked that one. American culture is always best when exported and interpreted by other free thinkers. Wait a tick, Eric Burdon imported that to the USA, we chopped on it and passed it along...job well done East Texas. The songs I was referring to were an amateur...

    Song called, "Triumph"

    Triumph songs Somewhere on this forum was a YouTube link to some rockabilly style songs and I wasn't smart enough to bookmark them. How's about dropping some knowledge on me Daddy- O ?

    More first impressions - fuel consumption, etc.

    I always suspected the Meridian Bonnivilles were greater than the sum of their parts. I really like the T140 series with disc brakes.

    More first impressions - fuel consumption, etc.

    I think MPG threads fall into the category of it would be nice to get more than 100 miles down the road before starting to worry about a gas station. Yeah, in and around town, who gives a shit? When I'm on a 1500 miles 4 day excursion, I'd love to go 150 miles between stops, my old Buell S3T...

    FCR vs. CR

    Thanks Flaco, I never considered a digital meter but it sounds like something I could use. I wanted an 18 tooth but I let myself get steered on to the 19t. Anybody want to trade me an 18 for my 19? Again, thanks for the digital meter idea, I have gone down the Dyno road with a Harley and man...

    FCR vs. CR

    Gentlemen, It has begun...the original purpose of my search for incremental horsepower gains was to fit a 19T front sprocket and still retain the performance level of just pipes and air box worked of the 790 Bonnie I was happy with. Now, after all that tweaking and the Pieman igniter, and...

    FCR vs. CR

    We'll gang, I installed my CRs and ran into a tiny snag. The TPUSA billet intakes are 1/4-1/2 inch too short. The carbs interfere with the top motor mount and the petcock, plus they don't seat into the spigots as well as I think they should. I contacted my vendor who said I needed to use stock...

    Clutch out of adjustment = Shuddering, Stalling...??

    Great news Ray, I'm in King George, Dahlgren to be exact. We should meet up and ride. I'll PM you. I assume the dealer you speak of is Triumph of Manassas. Good luck,

    FCR vs. CR

    I'm waiting for my CR's, they were on a 6 week back order, but they are on the way to me now. I hope they arrive for the weekend so I can rip it up. I'll post progress when it happens.

    FCR vs. CR

    Igniter I have already parted with my hard earned Dollars to the Pie Man for a stage 1 remap with an 8500 rev limit. Can't wait.

    FCR vs. CR

    Thanks for the input, I've decided to go with CR for price and street manners. The increase will be enough to offset the gearing change. I will not be going into this engine, it will stay a sweet running 790. I thank you for the replies and I will post next week after I install what they feel...

    FCR vs. CR

    OK, I have been trolling the net for reviews and opinions on carbs, OMG it's as bad as talking oil and tires. I have exhausted the archives on more than a couple forums, and here is where I stand. I have an 02 T-100 with a 790cc (duh). I have done the usual, AI, Airbox, pod filters, Emgo free...

    Norman Hyde Rearsets Like New

    Friends, I researched, searched for, and purchased a set of Norman Hyde Rearsets for my T-100. The install went smooth, the fit/finish are above expectations, the build quality and materials were as advertised. I was very happy with my purchase, a quick jaunt on a couple of B-roads confirmed...

    Lost my seat in a snowstorm

    I purchased a Corbin gunfighter and lady. Very comfortable and very high quality. It is a smidgen too tall for me to swing my short, semi-mobile leg over. I would prefer a thruxton gel seat, so if anybody wants to trade...pm me

    OEM luggage rack, soft bags incling standoffs, topcase in Canada

    Kind of interested in the rack....how much? The bags are cool, but I have serviceable soft luggage, you would have to dump them on the market and I know you don't want that.

    Nolan N43 Trilogy for sale

    I think the issue is size small. I like Nolan and my teenage son could use another lid, but his nog is bigger now. Somebody has a kid who wants a cool helmet, the price is ok.

    Finally changed my main jets - what to look out for?

    My seat of the pants dyno and old school Dark Art of carb fiddling showed me that 42 pilots and 140 mains was a little wet and sluggish at top end, and 135 mains seemed about right. While in Daytona I sprung for a tuning session at Triumph of Daytona. I was right that 140s were too much, but the...

    Lost my seat in a snowstorm

    While trailering home from Daytona ( good job Danny E) even though I check the bike at every stop, when I arrived home at 11 pm in a snowstorm I noticed my 2003 T-100 was missing the thruxton style comfort seat. The 295 bypass in Richmond was very rough and pitch black in the freezing rain just...

    2007 Bonnie Black Throttle sticking

    Good work, sounds like you got it. I did a few years in The OO career field, mission box is a cruel mistress. Best of luck and stay in as long as you can. I was a 25 year E-7 when I got my appointment to Warrant. Wish I had done it 10 years earlier. At least you are striking distance to the...
