  1. The vasque line looks very nice. I think the thermal line would be great in the snow plow. Unfortunately for daily , I need something comfortable. I work for local gov, and you can see me standing on the side of the road any day of the week. Usualy holding a shovel.

    FIFY

  2. I have a couple spare fans ( saving 1 to add a 2nd fan to my bike ) and you're welcome to one if it will fit. Not sure of the fan diameter, or the mounting points/dimensions, but I can get those to you. Or if you want to take the bike for a spin over to my place, we can compare them. GLWS!

    I will take you up on that offer. It will be a good test ride after I do fork seal.

  3. 1050 is a motor what bike are you talking about? Tiger, Sprint, Speed Triple? The motor itself is great. Isn't bothered by low rpm cruising and isn't so tightly wound that there is ever a surge of power. It just pulls. I've heard complaints about about the trans being clunky. Mine is butter smooth.

    On the tigers the only big change I see being made are bar swaps and that's just to make them fit the rider better. Sprints not much gets changed maybe bar risers. Speed Triple defiantly needs aftermarket seat.

    The problem with getting a Triumph is parts and service. From Oxford you have Joes, kick ass support (see sig). Triumph of cincy. I have heard nothing real positive about them. But they are new so growing pains probably. Tons of online stuff if your a DIY kinda guy. Just don't get in a hurry bikebandit takes 2 weeks to get parts to even ship. Oh the recomended oil in the older bikes is a castrol 4t.only available from the dealership. And its $80 a gallon. Post warranty I would go amsoil myself.

    The new Tigers and 800xc I would ask on britrider.com most of those guys have them and will be fairly honest about them.

  4. 1997, 50k miles, down once by previous owner. Also needs fork seal at the moment. Will have fixed friday. And needs radiator fan. Don't ride it in town so I never bothered replacing it. Will do when one pops up on ebay for a reasonable price. Comes with Corbin seat, Triumph tor exhaust, rear seat cowl, Triumph tank bag, and the stock seats. $1800 obo.
