Hello Everyone, Here's my 1000 mile report: 1. Breaking her in gentle. I chose to follow the manufacturer spec on break in, but adding about 150-200 miles per rpm stage for consistent rpm, though have hit rpm limits at all stages periodically. 2. Added farkles: Triumph: Radiator guard, fork sliders, frame sliders, tpms, heated grips, tank bag, rear grab rail, led turn signals, tank protector. R&G: rear swing arm spindles, oil cooler guard, side tank protectors, ordered kick stand foot extender. Other: AdaptivTech TPX Pro radar detector, (on Techmount) Garmin Zumo 396 LMT-S (on RAM Ball mount), Tail of the Dragon license plate holder (from 2011 iron butt Street Triple ride). Tail Tidy? Probably, maybe, maybe not.
Thanks! Most states radar detectors are legal. I'm not a speed demon, but do float up into questionable territory on occasion. I believe it has without doubt saved me more than a few "talks" with friendly law enforcemet people. Virginia and Washington D.C. they are illegal. All commercial vehicles they are illegal. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_detector
nicely done, enjoy!! Why triumph radiator protector vs going full R&G or evotech? Do you think the coverage and quality on the OEM item up to par? Same on the frame sliders ... I'm deciding between triumphs and the cheaper R&G Lastly, What did you wire your adaptive into so that its doesn't bleed the battery? odd Q - how'd you get the triumph LED lights instead of the stupid orange filament bulbs. Mine is the with orange bulbs and dealer claimed it was a DOT thing ... but maybe just a utah thing? Something about surface area or some garbage. Now I have to buy some Rizomas to fix that problem. You in north VA? used to live in Richmond for 4 years back in 93-97.
I kept Triunph where I could, R&G elsewhere. For no other reason. I wired the Adaptiv and Garmin to the battery with a single 5amp fuse. I unplug the Adaptiv whenever I park the bike for the night. The dealer didn't want to hook the Adaptiv / Garmin to the ignition, so I am considering a manual switch (which I will probably do). Do you have a better suggestion? I ordered the Triumph LED turn signals from an eBay UK seller (no relay needed), they are plug and play replacements. I'm in CT.
