Hi im new but have been lurking a bit and need to see if I have any gaps in information i have found. I have a newish Speed Twin which was involved in a RTA - not me but bike needs new forks and I am looking at some changes in other areas. I see no one as yet is producing fork replacements so I will look to replace the internals. So far I have as options found but would be grateful if any others are mentioned: TEC: https://shop.tecbikeparts.com/products/speed-twin-springs Matris: https://www.matrisdampers.com/en/triumph-bonneville-speed-twin-1200-my-2019/ Exhaust - just wondered if the T120 Bonne exhaust will fit on a Speed Twin? Im thinking the brackets are in the wrong place - but has anyone tried or measured them up previously? General parts - I need to order a heap of factory parts, clocks, headlights, fork externals etc etc... any thoughts on sourcing the best deal on these other than through my local dealer?
Öhlins do a cartridge kit that fits. https://www.ohlins.com/product-item/62773/ https://www.thetriumphforum.com/threads/fox-triumph-rear-shocks-on-t120.20149/ These people in the States have fitted the Ohlins too and you can see them at about 0.50s in the video of the bike on Ytb. https://www.ajcyclesny.com/?make=35&model=285&category=&post_type=product&action=vpf-search https://www.ajcyclesny.com/product/ohlins-nix-22-front-fork-cartridge-kit-fks-triumph-classics/
as for cartridge kits andreani get good reviews and are a lot cheaper than ohlins. for the clocks and lights I think you'll have to go main dealer.
Ohlins fully adjustable preload and compression £650.00 and work very well on the Thruxton 1200 S which is pretty much the same bike
Glyn, Are these FKS218 cartridges , which springs did you go for to suit your bike & and are they easy to fit i.e due the fork legs need to come off the bike ? or do in situ ?. cheers Ady
They’re NIX 30’s , not sure if that’s the same with a different name. I went for the hardest springs they do as I’m no lightweight and I like to feel the road. I removed the forks and k tech rebuilt on the bench
