Installed the Throttle Tamer. Much easier to roll on the throttle now, not so aggressive. We'll see if it stops the throttle closing when hitting bumps on the ighway when I actually get to go on a highway. Maybe the weekend?
Took it over to vote for easy parking and spotted a 2011 STR. Apparently there is another one near me. Need to get the guy on 675.net
** It was still there when I came out so I assume the guy lives at the apartments next to where I go to vote. I might leave a '675.net' note on it tomorrow when the voting lines go away
About to hit the road on mine after not having it for a month . Rode to work yesterday and clocked 110 miles ( and prolly 110mph most of the commute too) .
Today going to Santa Barbara for some seafood . Couple a hundred miles to run today .

I had 25 mph gusts on my ride home on the interstate yesterday. Gusts in the mid 30mph today. No a good day for high speeds, need to stay on secondary roads
My turn signals with my fender eliminator don't seem to fit with my stock pipes. Anyone have a fender eliminator recommendation that works with undertail pipes the allow me to have rear signals? Or maybe anyone have a stock license plate bracket for cheap?
Try the d3 std from tripletek.eu, it's the one I fitted and I still have standard pipes. I'm just a gumby with electrics so had some issues fitting the aftermarket indicators but it's a quality bit of kit!
Sheared the shifter shaft off right at the circlip whilst shifting up into third gear today.
No reason I could see for this, especially as I have a triumph quickshifter fitted and just tapped the shift lever upwards as usual.
Had to ride the bike home stuck in third...
Examined the break and it was a pretty clean snap-off, no jagged edges, no evidence of prior damage.
A half inch steel shaft snapping like a carrot??!!! Very strange...
All I can think of is that the shaft must have been defective from the factory.
The bike is out of warranty, but I think that Triumph should still warranty the work and parts. After all, how many shifter shafts have you ever heard of just snapping off?
However, chances are they won't warranty it, unfortunately.
Anyone got a spare shifter shaft for a 2010 lying around?

I'm not a fan of turn signals integrated in the tail light. I believe it's a lot more difficult for people to notice if your turn signal is on or not. Not to mention, it won't legally pass safety inspection here in VA because the signals have to have 6" between the left and right turn signals.
I have to be careful here... Kind of like talking to a kid who still believes in Santa Clause... but there is no way anyone will not be able to tell my turn signal is on. You might make a case that they won't be able to tell which direction I'm turning, but at the distance where that would be the case, it wouldn't make a difference for any practical purpose. They'd still know I intend to turn, and as they get closer, they will then clearly see which direction.
As for the six inches between left and right, you can make a case (since the lights in the tail light themselves are over 6" I believe) that since the last LEDs to the left are six inches from the last LEDs on the right, you meet that requirement.
But I'm obviously not going to sway your beliefs and you're probably right about not risking running afoul of VA laws. You don't need that hassle. Guess you'll just have to find some smaller signals than what you've got now.
got the new rubber mounted up and cleaned my nasty chain.
back on the bike after 4 days of caging. woot! :thumbup:
