That was one of the first things I put on. I don't remember the details other than the hardest part was snaking them in and out past the exhaust..

I changed my bent bar for a stock replacement last Saturday. I would agree simple project, provided you have a decent set of allen wrenches. Which are required for any work on a triumph. I would say less than 15 minutes start to finish. I would rate is 1 real beer and 1/2 a bud light.

The bolt that holds the bracket that holds my right side peg on is starting to strip. I tried taking it off last year to clean up/polish. Decided to leave it...

benny,
thanks for that info. i just dealt with a broken strut bolt that goes through into the fender when putting on my sissy bar. i ended up drilling it out till it collapsed. On the fender the bolts are exposed to the elements and can get rusty and if i would have known this, i wd. have drenched them a bit w/ Deep Creep.
i'm going to do that w/ the peg bolts.
thanks,

Yeah If I decide to take mine off, I think some penetrating oil, some heat, and an impact wrench are in order. I have all of that, except the proper allan head for the impact driver.

i installed the new chrome control arm. looks good on the speedy with a splash of chrome down there. but now i have to clean that area more.
i had to adjust the shift rod a bit; somehow i moved something and downshifts into first were awkward. also, i think i cross-threaded 1 bolt on the frame as it went in harder than the others, but it might just be the odd angle.
then got everything back together and realized i had to put that allignment pin in on the brake side.
it all works now.
maybe a chrome valve cover next?
