Hello Again !!
So I guess I'm the guy who opened this old can of worms again! I'm glad I'm not the only one with these same apprehensive thoughts! Good luck to all who are going to try and come up with a solution.
I feel obligated to let you know where I stand on this....I may well buy one in the future if the project is successful. I can't commit financially because I need to do something right now. I am guessing this will take more than a couple months. My winter is over here in early April, so I need to get the rag out and buy something for the old girl. The other factor is the carrot that Triumph is holding out for us about the "Rocket Two", I've been patient and had almost given up, but now I'm hearing "probably for sure" next year. So I don't want to spend too much money on this old Black Beauty.
Guess I'll just replace the chain and sprockets for now. Think I will use a JT brand x-ring 530 chain. About 2/3 the price of the dealer kit.
I am also planning to order the VTS visors and the memphis shades lowers. Any thoughts??
I envy a lot of you guys who can ride all year long!
Gerry.
