@@curtisjordan9210 Toyota body's rust out just as bad, so I treated it. Especially living in the rust belt of Michigan where salt is heavily used in the winter.
@cb4920 I'll say no to that. Who waste their time locking the column for every pass. No shop I have ever been in does that. Last pass or 2 is good enough, especially if you have a lot of lumber to process.
@paullandry5907 love them both, lol ive found the sweet spot for the winshield now as far as the angle, and all the way up for highway or all the way down for around town. The seat is triumphs king and queen comfort seat. It was reasonably priced at under $400. More comfortable than the stock seat and I think it preserves the classic look of the bike.
@@woodtickgreg6926 Thanks for the quick response. I actually deleted my original questions cause you did answer them in the video but it's great confirming your answers in writing here. I love my T120 too... I just bought a 2018 T120 with only 2500 miles on her now I'm wanting to add a windshield... so thanks for the info! :)
@mikehershberger7229 I have no regrets. I did play around with it for awhile to find the sweet spot to create the smoothest pocket of air. I find for around town and speeds below 45 mph I like it on its lowest setting just so I can get a little more air. But on the freeways I pull it all the way up to get the wind to go over my head and yet I can still look over the top of the windshield. If I had it to do all over again I would buy it again because of its adjustability.
@oilerguy5494 Krown is an odor free oil, it is non toxic and has no smell. You can park it on a lawn after it is treated and as it drips on the lawn it won't kill the grass. Krown advises not to park it on a cement driveway for a week, but I do and it doesn't per.anently stain the concrete. It can be washed off. Also do not get a car wash that washes the underbody as it can wash the oil off. I just get the absolute cheapest car wash in the winter to clean the paint, I don't worry about the bottom of the truck, lol. Get it treated annually and your vehicle will last a long time. I just bought a used rust free truck that will be getting the Krown treatment real soon. I swear by any oil based rustproofing method but the Krown dealer near me in Rochester Michigan is awesome and they do good work.
Love this bike! I own the exact model and color combo. Can I ask, where did you find you windshield you mentioned? I agree with everything you said about this bike by the way. This is the best bike for the money. Thanks for sharing your great video!
It's a Madstad brand. I ordered it direct from them. Call them and they will tell you how to measure for the proper size for you. I also did a video on how to install the windshield.
I picked one up side of road st 824 the motor turns easy, but had no gas when i got home put gas in pulled cord the cord snapped plugged in electric start shounds like no teeth worn out or broken on flywheel o starter gear put in barn last year havent touched it since but probably will this summer
Great Video. Just what I'm looking for. I like the Quick Release concept so you can take it off and go naked! Love it! Thanks for sharing this video! :)
@keywest302 not as much as I usually do. I've had a lot going on. And the place I used to keep it at work is no longer secure. But we ride our ebikes on the weekends, still dig the ariel rider.
Krown is the best! The problem with the dripless stuff is that it doesn't get everywhere. You need a product with a low enough viscosity to penetrate the same areas that rust causing moisture will. The mess from krown is a small price to pay for a completely coated vehicle.
I agree. I just purchased a new used vehicle from Colorado and it is pretty rust free, but I'll get it Krowned before the winter while it is still hot here so the oil will creep into everything. I may even do it twice the first year just because it's an older vehicle.
@@woodtickgreg6926 if you only do one application a year, as is the norm, the best time is in spring when the weather warms up and they stop salting the roads.
Hello! Thank you very much for the video. It looks really well constructed. Just one question: have you already tried in the highway? It will highly appreciated to know your feelings after the riding test. Thank you in advance.
Yes I have used it on the highway. For highway use I like to raise it up. Lower speeds around town I lower it to about the mid point. The beauty of this windshield is its adjustability.
Northern Vermont salt capitol here, been oil spraying my vehicles for over 25 years using Bar & Chain oil and never looked back.. Oil Spraying works...
I also go to Krown in Rochester Mi. Live in Macomb Twp. My truck is 2018 and is rust free. They do a great job and love their service. I brought this video up to show my 16 year old daughter to show her what we doing to the very clean 2015 vehicle I bought here to keep it clean. Nice video.
That thing is known to come loose when you’re vibrating that much you should replace it and put a new one in. I don’t know why or why but it just wears out and comes loose. I’ve already put one in on my 03 that’s what that is replace it you might be able to tighten that up but usually just replace it because the holes or Wollard out.
Hey Greg, we just bought a 2024 4Runner Limited coming off of an 06 Tundra that we Absolutely Love, but alas the frame is almost rusted through (I am going to have it fixed & use as a Winter/two track vehicle & save the 4Runner) & we Never had it treated Damn-It !!! Had we known back in 07 when we bought it we Definitely would've had it done back then. Hindsight being 20/20 and after Much Research we are going to have The Krown Treatment done to this one as we live in Northern Michigan and are Lucky enough to have a Krown Shop up in Gaylord about 35min away from us here in Roscommon/Higgins Lake. My Only Concern is with the brake rotors & pads getting Contaminated with ALL that Overspray Flying around in the air while they are treating it. Do you have ANY thoughts/concerns regarding this issue ??? Thanks & Great Video Greg !!!😉
HERE IS THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here’s a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God’s name in vain? Jesus said, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” If you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart, and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called Hell. But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law and Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you.
Hello, good job on the presentation everything looks real clean style wise ! I would like your opinion regarding how much protection those bars provide for the engine side cases (since they are several inches below) ?? Thank you
I think they stick out just far enough that they would come in contact with the ground first in the event of a tip over. I hope I never have to find out! 😊
Thank you. Still loving this bike and I don't wish for anything else. It's a pleasure to ride. I di buy some new tires for it, but I haven't mounted them yet. The stock tires are not great, many have complained about them. When I get the new tires mounted I'll see if they where right about that.
Very good video sir. One question, could you tell me what model of windshield you use or where I can get that same model, thank you very much and new follower.
It is a Madstad brand windshield. I also have a video showing how to install it. Madstad builds each windshield to order. Best to call and talk to them or email them. They will also explain to you how to measure for the correct height of the wi dshield. I am very happy with it.
Hello, I have a Triumph Bonneville t120 black . 2023 Model. A couple of days ago I installed the Madstad windshield by watching this video and thank you for it. After Removing the stock top fork clamp bolt and replacing it with the ones Madstad provided, I see that the bolt is not %100 in its place screwed. So,I just wanted to ask you if this is a normal situation or did I do something wrong? I took the picture of it as well and can send it to you too. Your help would be super helpful and thank you very much.
I'm 5'9" I purchased the 18" and I have it set about in the middle and I can look over it. If you call madstad they will instruct you on how to measure for your height. It takes 2 people to properly measure while you are sitting on the bike.
Interesting. I’ve had T120s in the past and never considered the option of a top box, probably because I had a sissy bar and grab-rails on them which might hinder the top box plate. However I recently got a Speed Twin 900 (aka Street Twin) and I had a plate and top box fitted. I know top boxes spoil the look, but they are practical and offer comfort to my wife riding pillion. Thanks. 🇬🇧
Yeah well if you don't buy a bike from a shop who is going to fix it? It's the same with all off these Chinese bikes you order online. If they break you have to fix them. If you can't do that then buy a bike from a shop that can do the repairs for you. The Ariel rider x-class is unlike any other bike out there with its 2,000 watt motor and awesome power at its price range. I have almost 3,000 trouble free miles on mine. And yes I know what end of the screwdriver to hold on to and I'm capable of doing my own repairs if need be. Sorry you had problems with yours, most people do not. Pretty bold statement to say they are junk on my video because you had problems but thousands of others have not. And no where on there site do they say they will provide repairs, just cover warranty on parts. I am not sponsored or endorsed by them, just very happy with my bike. I get nothing extra from them, I bought my bike, put it together, modified it, and just enjoy it. If you have an issue with them you need to take it up with them, not me or my viewers that also have these bikes and enjoy them.
You are right on with your assessment ! could not have said it better myself and I have been on a similar journey and you have articulated your decision perfectly
Yeah I think I have. I did a few videos along the way. If you get bored and have so.e time maybe watch the others. Better than the crap that's on TV, lol.
hi from the UK i have a 2016 T120 just came back from a ride and i remembered you saying about the bars maybe changing or putting in risers well on my bike there was a cable routing mod to the headstock area which my bike had the mod fitted to alleviate clutch cable rubbing but also i feel to compensate for a lack of cable length in that area to allow full lock to lock turn on the handle bars now i know yours is a later model and i know the rectifier position under the headlamp was changed but be careful to allow sufficient slack in the harness ; lucky for me i brought mine from a main dealer over 2 years ago And 2 weeks into ownership a fault was diagnosed with the main wiring harness, starting indicators , and it needed a complete new harness i dread to think how much that would have cost . since then i now have nearly 16,000 miles on the clock with no issues especially since i fitted Meltzer roadtec 01 tyres/tires front and back enjoy your bike
Thanks for the advise it's much appreciated. I haven't done the risers yet but probably will this season, there's snow on the ground here still so spring hasn't sprung yet. I did just get some new Bridgestone batlax tires for it, still need to get those mounted. I'm also thinking of doing progressive springs in the front so I'd do the risers at that time. The bike has been a dream and I'm still in love with it. It's perfect for me. Stay safe and enjoy the ride.
I was planning on getting the long range one then I realized that I could just buy another 10 ah battery for just $120 more than the cost of the long range. Then I would have a total of 20 ah instead of 14
I like the idea of using that cart to set the planer base at the same height as your table saw, or any table for that matter, to use as infeed/outfeed. Nice work sir.
I can't remember where I got it. I just did a search on Google. I might have downloaded it right from ariens. I just printed it off at home. You do want to match it up by serial and model number.
