Hi fellow Triumphants! (not sure you have a group or classification as a Triumph owner - I am sure you all feel Triumphant though). New purchase on its way Thursday pick up T120 Green 2018 plate. Have owned Triumph before Bonneville 900 (well owned most) - other bikes (currently) in man cave are a Ducati Diavel (pride and joy fine weather only) and an Aprilia Caponord (all weather commuter) so this will be 3rd 1200cc bike - no I dont own a petrol company. Will be looking to modify it loads so looking to this forum to guide. Member of IAM - BMF RBLRB and every local Facebook riders group going so maybe know some of you already. looking forward to a bit of bant and maybe some meets. Johnno001 aka Dave
Johnno001 Welcome to the family. You have some nice bikes there. You do know we the inmates will want piccie's soon. Regards & Ride Safe Joe.
Thanks for the warm welcome - pic of new bike after pick up - watch this space for modifications - those planned include: exhaust cans any advice welcome Remus or arrow seem favourite although the Vance and Hines look nice if I sell a kidney Triumph screen off Top box off Proper fuel map on dyno
Thanks everyone for your warm welcome. The mods have begun, removed screen and top box will shortly be seen on ebay or in this group for sale. So if anyone wants a Triumph OEM full screen and a "coocase" top box with integrated brake light and two fixing plates as seen in the pics above get in touch.
Hi Dave and welcome to the forum I see you are well underway on making greeny your own. Recommend an Xpipe before changing the cans and dyno, you will love the improvement. Also, if you find snatchy around town use rain mode
XPipe is a decat pipe - i.e. replaces the cat pipe under belly..? Havent really felt it snatchy I am used to fly by wire.
Well things have moved on somewhat - Weslake X pipe and BC Predator Pro Shorty cans both fitted, it was a little fiddle to get things lined up to my satisfaction and the cans are too close to frame at the rear for me (2-3mm clearance each side) I will investigate how to widen this. Little information regarding the install process on a 18 plate T120 on BC website, there is a "HOW TO" but doesnt adequately demonstrate how the multiple shims and spacers should be fitted. The sound is awesome (very deep loud sound). As the so called auto programming ECU actually does nothing but level the fuel/lamda/air values at tick over - I wont comment on performance until it has been properly Dyno mapped which will probably be in November. Until then I will be riding/testing - waking the neighbours, making dogs bark and babies cry in Bucks, Beds and Herts!
Forgot to say in hindsight I would have probably preferred reinstalling the front guard on the x pipe, the Westlake does not allow this but the TEC version does.
