    Hi Im new to the forum but have been riding for many years, all sorts over the years but have always had a triumph in the line up at some point. At the moment its the lovely speed twin. My initial thoughts on the bike was the suspension was poor for me as I'm a big lad.
    I fitted TEC gas shocks, progressive springs with fork top pre load adjusters, which transformed the bike.I know of Magni Ross clutch woes through a mutual friend. he mentioned a brake noise problem which seems to be prevalent. I haven't come across it yet. But would like to know what to look for.

    Hi Mate & Welcome to the Forum :cool: Can't help you on the Speed Twin, but money spent on decent suspension set up for your weight is always money well spent!
