Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Urgh take it off

 

How old were the gators and were they Triumph?, I paint a very thin coat of ACF50 on mine in the hope that it prolongs the life of them as I had gators on my Sportster that split after 2 yrs.

 

Got the Daytona 1000 in bits again, putting a newer loom on it so you can imagine the mess. Had enough of issues & tracing wires so bit the bullet plus do some other little jobs to it....Cant go anywhere so why not

 

Around 10 years and the new ones are older that i had lying around in a draw.

 

Thanks, I will be happy if mine last that long!

 

@Duckadiledundee your time will come. I never do much more than a quick wash on mine, yet today spent hours on it.
Switched it on, wheeled it out the garage, pretended I was going somewhere. Sad really

 

The best stuff I’ve used on rubber is Gummi Pflege. It conditions rubber and stops it from drying out and cracking. https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/1676147219...N9FqE0yqQ1wDvO-uc-PmC5wTEX4AA90BoCEq8QAvD_BwE
I’ve used it on bike bits as well as the door seals on my car and don’t get cracked or sticking seals. Maybe it’ll help on your gaiters?

 

Thanks @freck, I will have a look at that, like you say its all about stopping them from drying out.

 

I recommend it as well

 

Hang on there @Duckadiledundee

 

Undertaker. An overtaker at times.

 

I like the camo paint on the garage.

 

Just saying....I too wheeled my bike out today and started for no other reason than I felt I simply had to... I miss it.

 

'Better call Saul'

 

I buyed some rare Oldtimer-parts from ebay....first want to take the car...but it was fantastic weather today and no traffic on the streets...so my good ST gots fire for 500km..3 hours 25 minutes and now I opened a beer...cheers good old ST!

 

Yes mate, its class, well worth a watch...your 'in the pen' comment made me think of it.

 

More cleaning today and warm up engine along with a ride up n down the lane to throw some oil around engine n box.

Your not alone, and matter are made worse as so many bikes today have a mix of yearly parts :-( persistence is the only forward option

 

Serviced cleaned n waxed with a little run up n down the lane.

 

Got to ride the Daytona

Not working today so doing another Blood Bike shift - and had to ride my bike to collect vehicle I'm using. Will get to ride it back later too

Glad to report all my recent work appears to have paid off and it's running sweet as a nut - can't wait until I can try it on some decent roads and do some trackdays.

Very nice mate,hope the ride up the lane was essential
