The actions that caused the damage in that picture changed the world

Have you seen his age 🤣🤣

Has the new fuse blown? If not I would be looking at the connections, not only at the fuse box, but at the switches. Do you have a multi meter to check 'earthing' If one of the fuse connectors 'cracked from corrosion' then the others will be of a similar condition and this is just a series of breakdowns waiting to happen. I would plan for fitting a new fuse box. If you have a proper crimping tool and the correct connections then it will be a straight forward job, once you have access. You don't say where in the world you are (use of grounding, possible US/Canada?) so unable to provide any recommended retailers

A cautionary tale. Thanks for sharing I remember the first time I was out with my boy and as we crossed the Erskine Bridge we hit the traffic jam. I pulled over and asked if he had ever filtered before "no" was his reply "Ok, here are my rules, follow them if you want" says I Don't just go for a gap because I got through it Don't trust any gap will remain there Always look ahead Always plan ahead Be patient and do not get agitated Enjoy the experience We had to filter from Erskine Bride to Balloch, so about 10 miles, and once through and a few miles behind us we stopped for a cuppa....He was still buzzing and was chirping away like a canary Yours is a wee reminder that we always need to be cautious and that it is not always the fault of others, or indeed anyones fault Oh and how is the foot?

RS Bike Paints list it as Brandy Red Metallic @ £8.50 for 25ml They also recommend you buy their lacquer at the same price, then there is their p&p

Good work Stinky

Hey Snakebite, you can't drop titbits like that and not give us the full story (unless of course you were/are a terrorist or OCG in which case stay hushed) 🤣 🤣

Welcome to the forum bud.

Great intro bud. Ìve owned a few xs' but not the 750 The forum ticks along nicely, sometimes fast, sometimes not so fast

Yea but only from the "insert existing attachment"

Tried again to post pics direct without success Shouts loudly "Aleeeeexxxxxxx, whats happened, why can't we post pics now"

That just seems a recent issue, for me anyway. I got around it by putting the pic on fb and copying it there

Yea, I think it sounds great. Look on utube for Trident howl and turn the sound up

No booze last night so a wee 105 mile jaunt on my 1975 Trident. Stopped in Largs for a photo and tea Edit, eventually sorted

Nice picture bud. Unfortunately I was hungover today so the only bike action was 3hrs cleaning one

Great intro mate

Sorry can't help other than ask if any of your pals were present when you were working on the bike. Back in the day that was one of our gags, to leave a random fastener, or ball bearing lying around. Sorry that's no help but thanks for dredging up some memories

I think he means have you stripped the threads out the hole your stud was screwed into

Welcome to the forum bud

Champion reply bud. Great effort

I've been on earlies last two days so roads dead on the way in (0400hrs) and chok a blok on the way home. Some crazy filtering yesterday by a load of bikes and scooters, which I let myself get caught up in. When I finally got through it all I was fkn angry with myself as there were some stupid risks taken No harm done tho (other than pissing off a load of car drivers) and a much better run into work today

Haha, I was drunk 🤣🤣

Look at Armours. I've just bought a complete system from them and delighted with the quality and price

John There were two versions. The T150 which ran in tandem with the R3, and the T160 (mine) which was the 2nd version, but had the sloping engine similar to the R3. The T160 has an electric foot as well The T150, according to the critics was the better, faster, lighter bike, but the T160 was by far the best looking bike Triumph/BSA built

For those into engine porn. My 1975 T160 Trident was burning a bit of oil, so having missed out on a few weekend aways due to lockdown, I saved my money and gave the bike through to Grin Triumph in Kennoway, Fife. He is a one man operation with a great rep for auld Triumphs. I dropped it off in March and picked it up a couple of days ago. He stripped the top end and rebored the barrels out to +20 and fitted new pistons. He also fitted new valves, guides, springs etc and vapour blasted all components. Apologies it's not a Yam, but hey...the sharp eyed will note that the vacuum covers on the carb gantry are actually Yam parts, so qualifies
