Was wondering if anyone knew if this would fit my 1996 Daytona 1200? http://corbin.com/triumph/canyon.shtml Thanks
My gut instinct is that it will fit (sorry Freck!) and it does list the '96 Trophy as being compatible. If in doubt you have two options:- contact Corbin direct for their advice OR get your own seat re-upholstered to that sort of design which will probably be a cheaper and possibly better option.
I talked to Corbin and they were no help. Getting my stock seat done is not an option because I need that backrest for the wife and I to do 2 up riding.
Fair point. What about a top box of some sort? Some, such as Givi, could have a padded backrest fitted. They may still be available. You will need a suitable rack to put it on though. But at least you will have somewhere to stash your sandwiches and drinks! Works for me! Mine is a Givi Wingrack with 36ltr top box - no backrest fitted (on the box itself) as SWMBO never seemed to need one, but others may have different needs/opinions. Some folk don't like boxes, but it has served us very well (with matching panniers when required) over the years. Bike is a '95 Trident 900 which we've had from new and is structurally the same as your Trophy although the bodywork may differ slightly - some models were more rounded as per your Corbin link.
Or get a general purpose rack such as this http://www.triumphhinckleyparts.co.uk/partView.php?PartID=655 and fit any flat bottomed top box?
Hello, i am new here ,maybe you guys can help me with my Daytona 1200cc 1994. When i start the bike it runs nice but if i put a little bit of trottle it stays low or stop runnig, my first idea is not enough fuel or a fuel tap that does not work properly!!! Is this a commen problem?
Hi Mark, A few things to check. Has the bike been standing unused for a long time? Are you using E5 or E10 fuel? If its not been used i`d` say its your slow jets bunged up,more so if your using E10 ,Only use E5 as E10 will ruin your fuel lines. OR if the bike is used regularly, Disconnect your fuel lines & turn the tap to prime 1st then other positions,tilt tank etc. This should see fuel running out. See if it carry`s on pouring out so your bike should run without stopping. Or take the tank completely off the bike & blow (attach a pipe to each outlet on the tap) through it to see if you hear "bubbles" in the tank to prove tap is`nt blocked. Tap ok then.Check fuel lines are ok & not degrading. There are 2 small filters in the Carb inlets which may be blocked? Rare though! IMHO ,My money is on slow jets which is a lovely carbs off job! So check tap 1st. All the best & good luck.
