A place for me to share some of the hobbies I enjoy, and also some things I learn along the way. I'm a do-it-yourself kind of guy when I can be, and if I can pass along some knowledge then everyone wins.
Can you tell me the height of the top of the screen with the final result? Considering this product because the BRP sport windshield is too high for me. Thanks!
Unfortunately I can't as we don't have the Ryker anymore, but I think it used to sit about even with my wife's chin while she was seated. Enough that she could look over it but it would still deflect wind mostly over her head.
The existing fuel line is in the same exact place? And while in my example here it's just laying there it could absolutely be located in a different fixed location with some longer lines.
Looks great! BTW, I see you attached Burly saddlebags, do they fit under the rear seat pad or did you have to modify them? Sorry to hijack the thread! 👍🍻
Yes, they do fit under the seat pad! It's been a while since I first installed them, but I seem to remember removing some rubber feet off the seat itself to make room. Putting in the retaining screw for it requires pushing the metal tab down a bit as well. But it definitely makes them secure.
Hey man .. using this video as a template for my triumph bobber. Had a question is. My bobber has the weighted bar ends. The new handle bar is just hollow. Any idea how to get them off (and transferred to the new one)
Hey ! Looks great and this is exactly what I want to do. Do you have a pic with the mini aps without the wind shield, without the passenger pillion seat ? It will be the style I'll go for IF i get the speedmaster (still considering an aircooled sportster)
Nice mod, now you got me perusing the newbonneville site for fun projects on my bike. Also as important - my cat ran to the TV to see where your cat walked off to.
Same happened to my left hand cover. Bike has only done 21 miles, must be just a cheap cover. Replaced with motone covers, like yours looks great. Dave UK.
I own a 2024 Triumph Bobber and purchased the expensive Triumph rails (painted black) and Triumph saddle bags before researching them enough. The saddle bags aren't waterproof and can't be locked to the motorcycle or locked to protect the contents. They are held in place by a simple nylon strap and plastic clip. The whole "slide them on" the rails using sewn-on sleeves is terrible! I am now considering LongRide rails and sidekick mounts to modify my setup. I should be able to use the Triumph Saddlebags with new LongRide rails and mounts.
Well, stock is much, much quieter than either. But I would say they are equally "loud", just a difference in Tone. Both are hollow and free-flow construction except for the baffles - this one is on the 'inlet' side, where the Amazon muffler is on the 'outlet' side.
How did u remove end caps from beach bars? I m trying to but no success . Or hv u used other end caps for TC bros Handel bar . If yes then can u plz share link so that I can also purchase
Very cool and useful videos man. Inspired by you to own and customize a Speedmaster here in Brazil. Just reserved mine with the dealership. Keep your videos coming and maybe share with us some ride vlogs too.
@@davesdiy9836 I was considering getting one of these mdi2 or a j2534 pass thru from autel or a new scanner that comes with a passthru. What would you recommend
You mentioned your video wasn’t maybe as good as someone making a more professional version. I can’t tell you enough how much this video is going to help me with my conversion. You gave a very good detailed account of your process without a lot of extra nonsense bling. I for one appreciate it. Thank you
Thank you. I decided to try making some videos because I'm always doing projects and I can't always find what I'm looking for on youtube so figured I'd make my own. I still don't record half the stuff I do or try but I want to make an effort going forward. Thanks again!
Your information is of great value to me. I probably should of gotten 8” bars wouldn’t you know it mine are 10” 😮so now I’m watching your other video about the cable extensions. Again thanks for posting all this great information. 🙂👍
No, I still have them along with a pile of other motorcycle parts in my basement. The switch housings were not a big deal, just take your time. I did drill out the throttle hole, just started with a center punch, then a small bit as a pilot hole, then the actual bit size I needed.
@@davesdiy9836 Are they chrome if so do you plan on keeping them are selling them ? also with the aftermarket bars the biggest thing his the part that the grips go on is shorter so you have to use a differnt grip but know big deal right.And also with the 8 in bars you did not have to undo the break lines are clutch correct.
@@leviteeler1629 For the 8" bars I had to re-route the brake and clutch lines, yes I had to disconnect them to pull them through to the rider's side of the triple clamp. Not sure if I'll keep or sell the old ones, I may hold on to them for a future project. Different grips fit but I have ditched the bar end caps in favor of a closed-end type grip.
I got them from J&P Cycles online, but I don't think they carry them anymore. I would not recommend them anyway, I could not see a thing. I replaced them with these from Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0734QVM4X and I'm very happy with the quality and appearance, even if they are on top of the bars not underneath.
Hey Dave I was curious about how much shorter the triumph mini ape is compared to what you installed. You said that you discovered the triumph mini was shorter. Im in the process of trying to figure out handlebars Im a short man to but older with arthritis. If you had to do it over again would you have used the triumph Minis ? great videos.
Hi, the reason I did not go with the Triumph bars is because they are pinned straight up and down and I did not like the look, and it would have made me reach further (defeating the purpose). If you wanted something not as tall, I did have the 8" bars previously which are slightly lower.
Really great Vid and as you say we didn't need to see all the faffing around trying to get the kit to work you photos of what you did are enough. I'm changing my bars as I'm the same height as you but hoping to get away with risers and LSL flat track bars. I've gone for then id controls so don't mind being slightly forward rather then sitting dead upright..... time and distance will tell if that works. It' annoying how motorcycle manufacturers have a 'one size fits all' design policy. One question... did you drill the new bars for the peg on the throttle assembly?
