HELP NEEDED FOR ARNIE

Off-topic
1

Hello,

You probably already know about my recent little crash but no worries, I’ll be back!

Called triumph dealer and asked for new parts:

*alternator cover + the bit which goes under it
*gear lever
*handlebar grip + silver bobbin at the end

*I will have second hand tank aswell to replace and no idea how to do it

Can somebody help me with replacing them ? North City Triumph will charge me £51 per hour and they said If I come without fairings it will take about 1.5h to do the job.

Does anyone have a workshop, tolls and could help with it ? I would pay of course for the time.
The most help I need with alternator cover as no idea how to safely replace it.

And the grip on the handlebar. How to take out the old one ?

Thanks

Arnie

Arnie,Amazing Bikes charge £25 an hour and helped to prep 675’s for racing, so know their way around the bike with no issues at all. SE London.

www.amazingbikes.co.uk let them know that Gordon told you to head their way. They will treat you well.

Hope you get on the road soon with your Triumph. I’ve got the big brother, Sprint RS and love the triple engine!:smiley:

Cheers,

Maybe now is the time to go to Halfords and buy one of their macp socket sets and do it yourself ? :slight_smile: If you can take fairings off and put them back then I’d put money on you being able to do the same with engine covers and a few bits and pieces.

Did you check out the covers that Chunky mentioned ?

5

not only fairings :stuck_out_tongue: can do most of the regular things but I’m little afraid of touching the engine…

Got few advices already and will go halfords to get set of sockets but just need rough guide how to play with the generator cover.

I know I have to replace the rubber under the cover with it .

Is it as simple as unscrewing it , putting new parts on and screwing it back ?

Hey Arnie, name suits you mate :wink:

If you are not in any hurry, I can come to you with tools next weekend and we’ll bluff our way through it together ;):slight_smile:

macp sorted ! :stuck_out_tongue:

“Hey Arnie, name suits you mate [Wink]” :doze: hmm :w00t: :P:D

sounds good for me. will probably have to wait few days for triumph to deliver my parts.
will let you know when I have the bits

what day then ?

Sat or Sunday ?

If you have free day during a week or sth and I have parts I could take day off to play with the bike.

Look Out Arnie!

Search him before he leaves, and check your wallet mate:w00t:;):P:D

11

I dont get a day off mate, and saturday will be better for me, long as its not to early :smiley:

Sorry to here bout your off by the way :slight_smile: sure you dont fancy fightering it :smiley:

12

parts won’t arrive before Friday so sat is good for me. we will speak on BMM anyway to confirm all that.

would love to fighter it but would need second bike for fast riding :stuck_out_tongue: can’t afford one atm…

13

Remember your words when sniffing my exhaust fumes in the summer when me Fighters on the road in front of you :smiley:

And your have to shout at BMM as I dont go and I’ll be near the Ace :stuck_out_tongue:

See you friday night and were sort out a time :wink:

14

Glad you’re OK Arnie, and good name change, it was a bit difficult to pronounce the other one :smiley:

Make sure she’s good and ready for CSS1, long way to go still, so plenty of time to save up even after you got all these new parts

15

no worries abou CSS1. getting paid tomorrow and should book it :slight_smile: Will be attending it 100% unless I crash again before that :slight_smile:

I’m sorry but I will be quiting Jet Black’s Club… Going for red now :slight_smile: Really wanted it in same colour but triumph charges too much for fairings and I almost need the full set. Getting some second hand with 08 decals… The new decals are crap though but can’t do anything about…

See you at BMM on Wednesday :slight_smile:

16

not too disappointed with your colour change as this makes mine stand out even more :stuck_out_tongue:

would be cool to have 3 different colours when we go to CSS in July, can’t wait!

yeah try to refrain from crashing betwen now and then, after is OK, but not before :wink:

17

I ordered new Alternator Cover, eta thursday/friday.

Realized aswell I can fix some bits and bobs using my body facilities :smiley: (hands and strength)
I will put grip on the handlebar upside down as it’s just scratched a little bit and after that you won’t be able to see anything broken.

I can straighten gear lever as it’s not broken, only bend a little bit.

Expenses so far: £58 :stuck_out_tongue: More to come…

18

You never now what can happen in London’s madness :stuck_out_tongue:

We can organise double crash after CSS :slight_smile: That would be fun, wouldn’t it ? :w00t:

When I think about me coming off now… The moment when my head was sliding on the tarmac and when the bike overtook me :smiley: That’s was kind of exciting :satisfied:

19

As of this weekend i will have room in my garage, if you can get it transported here i’ll gladly help you get her back together again :wink:

Terry already offered me to come to my place and help me to sort it out but it’s always good to have second option just in case :slight_smile:

Where do you live ?
