Hi All,
I'm new to the site, Triumphs, and motorcycling.
I purchased a leftover 2004 TBA from my local dealer (nice people, the local Harley dealer can go pound sand.)
Anyway, I've already had a minor mishap..I was picking up my bike after her first service at the dealer and was pulling out into traffic and it died on me. Unfortunately it also fell over, scratching the turn signal lens on the handlebar, the brake lever, and the right side mirror. No damage other than that, so I got off easy. Seems the dealer adjusted the clutch and the carbs, and I wasn't prepared for it. Lesson learned. I got off easy, but it still sucks.
I am goiong to be replacing all of the parts. I know the damage is minor, but I take care of my stuff. I saw some nice chromed levers, and wonder if its a fairly easy job for me to do by myself. I used to own an MGB, so I am fairly handy, but if it's a pain in the butt, I can let the delaer do it.
Also, I work 3rd shift (Midnight to 8AM) and live out in the country..lots of twisty two lane roads back and forth to work. My bike is black, and am thinking of installing the lights that fit on either side of the headlight, for an extra measure of safety. How difficult of aq job id the electrical wiring?
Any insight is greatly appreciated. I love my bike and this site rocks!
Thanks,
