OK FELLO TRIUMPH FORUM MEMBERS, THIS MAY BE OF INTEREST TO SOME !!!!, ( 2014 AMERICA )
JUST BOUGHT THE BIKE BUT CAME WITHOUT A REAR RACK WHICH I NEED ----- SO I DID THIS

FIRST LOOK HERE PLEASE - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fit-Yamah...981023?hash=item3388a70bdf:g:vnEAAOSw0HVWAkQb

NOTE COST ME 13.50
ONE HOUR LATER FOUR HOLES MEASURED AND DRILLED , FITTED TO OUTSIDE FLAT EDGE OF SISSY BAR
RATHER THAN INSIDE AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HAD YOU BOUGHT TRIUMPHS HIGH PRICE ORIGINAL !!!!


NOT TO BOTHERED ABOUT ORIGINAL HOLES IN RACK SHOWING. BUT LATER I MAY MAKE AND POLISH
UP A PIECE OF STAINLESS JUST TO COVER THEM UP.

PS - NO EXCUSE FOR BEING A TIGHT ARSED GEORDIE, ITS IN THE D.N.A. LOL

 

Nice job! …… and the price was right too! It's always satisfying making something that works and look good whilst doing the intended job saving cash in the process.

 

THANKS SCOOT , Mr Orange , Biglad & Steve

 

Hi Tez, that is an excellent mod at my kind of price - very well done. It looks great !!

 

Nothing wrong with a bargain Tez - always appreciated by a Yorkie!

 

Can I patent this ??? ££££££££££££$$$$$$$

 

ooohhhh Peter, will we both become millionaires and be able to own a stable of Triumph's ? !!!!!!

 

If you come up with some more ideas like this one how about seat belt for sissey rider

 

Nice One Tez. You must have been a mech eng in a previous life. I'm looking at making a thing to reposition the front indicators on my Speedmaster, (don't fancy paying Triumph prices for something I can knock up myself and I'm not a tight aR$ed Yorkie either, just a careful Lankie)

 

Thanks Al ,nothing wrong with trying to save money,
where are you thinking of relocating your indicators too ? are they where mine are, ?
or is yours located under the handlebars at present ?

 

The front indicators on my Speedmaster are on bloody stupid bracket on the bars, never liked the position but it's only cosmetic. I was thinking of moving them down to the same location as per your photo, looks much better down there

 

Cheap way forward Al If you have open forks and plenty showing !!! look here -

Cheers Tez. Squaredeals do a bracket that looks similar but not for my 07 model, the ones in the link are too small for my forks, they're somewhere about 60mm around the forks. thanks for the link all the same.
