Del is that your bike or doing it for someone? cheers Paul
Looking good! I really like both that headlight bracket, as well as the triple trees. So THAT's what weight savings look like! That's a tough idea to comprehend for a Harley pilot! :) I also like the built-in adjustability of the bar clamps. It doesn't cost a thing to make a change. Some makers would "accidentally" choose not to do something similar, just to sell you an "upgrade kit". Kudos to Triumph.
Sure thing buddy, that sounds like Harley to me!... imagine a car where the seats don't adjust, but hey, they'll sell you a kit!!
Whos is the triumph del ?
is this your bike?
Who knows?
Big plastic doorknobs.....LOL !!! Very funny description but quite accurate. Those Tec parts are really impressive. It's nice that they have the adapter plugs to avoid having to cut up the factory wiring. It just seems wrong to have to do that on such a pristine bike. That Scrambler is some serious eye candy. Many thanks to you and Penny for always putting out such entertaining videos, no matter what you guys have in the shop. Cheers and blessings to you both. ❤👍👍
Glad you enjoyed this video Rick, and thanks for recognising the production and content, we work hard to make sure each video is filmed and produced with the viewer in mind, and also to keep the variety of different bikes, so we're so glad to hear it's appreciated! Have a fabulous week there and 'see ya Friday' for the next upload, all the very best, D&Px
Love the upgrades you're doing to this bike Del, everything is looking really sharp! Got a foot of snow two days ago and it doesn't look to be leaving anytime soon! Winter is here! Cheers to you both!
Thanks Allen, I thought you might appreciate a bike like this, given the terrain where you live, hope it's not too cold yet, I imagine the snow's on the way, so I guess you guys are having a pick up round the yard this time of year as any tools and stuff left out, you won't see it till March!!! Take care and be well, look after the family, D&Px
It's minus 22 C outside for me right now and the long winter hasn't even started here yet lol. Trust me when I say your videos are helping to cheer things up. 😄
Oh wow, thats so cold already.. we're still in single plus figures here.. but the gritter trucks were out today, so it won't be long!
Love the channel! As a Speed Twin owner, I've found it very helpful and entertaining. Those indicators are indeed a great upgrade over the offensively large dinky looking originals! Would there be any way to mount them without the mounting converter? I.e. thread the cable through a nut on the back and tighten it up like a one hole setup? Looking to replace the long and narrow LEDs on my bike with something round and classic looking. Cheers
Yes Paul.. Not sure if the Speed Twin is the same front end..but you can use the regular "wire through the nut" method.. but that leaves an empty hole (as long as you're ok with that), also the indicator threaded shaft is 10mm, and the hole in your Triumph mount is 8mm, (at least mine was) so you'd just need to carefully run a 10mm drill through the bracket to open it out..! also, make sure that mounting this way doesn't leave them too close to each other.. can't be sure from memory, but i think they need to be 9" apart !
@@Moonfleet41 Thank you very much for your feedback - that helps a lot! I've found a pair of small bullet shaped indicators with M8 bolts, so mounting through the single hole should then work. And I'm in South Africa so I might be able to sidestep the 9" apart requirement. Thanks!
I think you may be able to do the handle bar repositioning on the Speed Triple. I know they asked whether i wanted to risers turned round when i bought mine, but not sure about the lowering, i`l have to check on that. Cheers Del.
Sure thing mate, I even did it on my old CB1300 years ago, it's a common mod on many bikes!
@@Moonfleet41 Sorry, i meant Speed TWIN, not Triple. It`s an age thing
I never knew bout markings as I probably just use my head.. LOL I’d like urge you use heat gun than a torch…otherwise it does work either way… heat gun just even out the heat when torch pin points one spot. Great video !! Btw… really Kwel headlights!!
Great to see a 1200 scrambler. My bike!
It great that a manufacturer offers h/bar adjustment. Of course its a matter of individual choice but in my experience riders may "think" they want the bars lower & further forward but in reality need them higher & closer for more precise counter steering control. I've certainly adjusted plenty of Triumph bars that way, and added aftermarket risers as well. Its why there so many bar risers available from Rox, SW Motech, Helibars etc for other makes & models. The other adjustment always worth investigating is rotating the levers & switch gear for better ergonomics.
Smaller indicators are a matter of taste. Great job. Ergonomics (most important point on a bike) improved for free. I turned my old Transalp 600's handlebar just a bit and it turned out to be a gamechanger. Just half an inch made a big deal. Though I needed a higher position for standing on the pegs offroad riding. Thanks for showing and reminding us to fine-tune the works ergonomics to our taste. Günter/Nürnberg
Nice upgrades Del 👍
It's such a great looking bike. You know that's a strange thing for me to say, considering my general leaning towards much older stock.
Very nice . ✌️❤️🤗
Fair enough mate.. style is style, like i say to myself when i stand in front of a beautifully restored Li 150 Lambretta... id never own or even ride one in my life...but you can't mistake the class and style.!
Hmm, they do make a pretty bike!
Great improvement Del! Like it lots. Cheers
Thanks mate👍
Is this a new bike for you? Or is it just for demos? How are you finding it?
This looks perfect! I wonder if you can share when to find those adapter plugs? They'll be such a huge help. Keep up the great channel.
A link to the wiring adapters is below the video in the description!
Nice video Del & Penny. Excellent job mate, that is one sweet bike. Enjoy the last part of your week. Cheers
Thank you mate, same to you!
Love the vids. Bitesize and good view of what you are doing. Sometimes would like a little more commentary for tips during the procedures but overall really like how clean you keep the videos. Thanks.
Forget about the email Del hope you are well.
Love the triumph and harley. Whatever you put your hand to Del gets a thumbs up by me.
That's a nice looking bike. Very clean. The indicators do look factory looking forward to the exhaust bruv. Stay safe and well peeps.
Thanks mate👍, glad you like it !
Super simple and super tasty, and the new indicators are classy. Nice!
Thanks Scott. Glad you like them!
Hi guys, I like those indicators, wonder how easy they'd be to put on Freddie Fatboy, all the best to you both x👍
They're universal Geoff, so you just need a bracket to mount them on, if yours mount to the mirror brackets on the handlebars, it would simply be no more than a small L-shaped bracket to mount them through... I left a link to them in the description, perhaps give them a try!
@@Moonfleet41 thanks a lot Del, appreciate it 👍👍👍👍
Great video as usual but when are we going to see the Sportster again??
Getting ready to start making the bodywork shortly, just bringing some variety mate !
@@Moonfleet41 I figured you must be waiting for parts to arrive.
@@johnriley8713 Waiting to save up the money to pay for them mate..!

Hey Del,is this bike yours?
Simple enough process. Do those spacers double as vibration dampers? They look like they are somewhat pliable from the video. Thanks have a great weekend.
It is simple indeed, truly "plug n play" which makes it easy for anyone to fit without cutting into things and making the changes permanent ! The spacers are pretty much essential in this case, not just to utilize both holes so it looks right, but also to space the indicators far enough apart.. Have a great weekend too buddy, and thank you for your support as always.
@@Moonfleet41 ah sorry. I should have clarified, I was referring to the spacers you removed from under the bars 😀
@myz06rocks Ah got it.. No they are metal, feels like they are machined from cast..! the rubbers are below the washer down in the yoke itself..!
Again, such a great bike to work on and del, you’ve made it look even more easier! Fantastic video as always, you’re making me regret selling it to buy the FXLRST! 😢
Another great video brother! looks so much better with those aftermarket turn signals, very clever way to modify the handlebars position ! learned something new today 👍 Stay safe guys cheers from new york 🎉 🍺🍺🍺🥂🥂🥂
Hey Renzo, good to hear from you! Yes, this is not a Triumph thing, any bar with single bolt bar risers that are offset towards the rider, can be rotated to be offset forwards... should usually give you at least 3/4" extra reach should you need it! The spacers aren't common, but turning the risers is certainly an old trick... Hope you're both keeping safe and well there, and we hope it's not too cold there yet in New York! D&Px
Did that make the handlebars lower ?
No, keeps 'em the same height, as rotating the clamps lifts the bars slightly..(they lean back)!
@@Moonfleet41 thanks i didnt know that
hi del change them ugly mirrors next all the best paul
Got some funky bar end mirrors for it.!
Somethings been bothering me with this series. From some pictures looks like there is a big dent in the front of the tank. Is this standard or the result of an unfortunate meeting with the fork? I assumed it was a dent but the paint doesn’t look damaged.
Yes David it's a 'dent', there's an identical one the other side, they are a relief designed in to the tank to allow the fork movement, so effectively not a dent, just designed that way!
Another great video . Good clarity in the process and filming . Much harder to achieve than it looks 👍👍
Thank you Michael, we probably spend more time on the post production than the filming some days.. but it's worth it when it's noticed.. !
Hi. I fitted TEC indicators (and the TEC exhaust) to my XE. Interested to know how you find their brightness, especially in daylight. I ended up switching them out for Kellermans - much brighter, same size.
No complaints so far!
hi, can i use the indicator adapters for the rear indicators as well?
That’s a Hansom looking bike.
Nice little add ons, look in keeping too. Great
Thanks buddy👍, hope you're both well.
Have you fitted any day running lights to the big scrambler yet, I’d like some on mine but don’t know where to start!!
I haven't I'm afraid!
A few subtle mods Del that make a real difference
Indeed they do mate !
SUPER COOL Del!!!
I'm trying to save up for a scrambler SC ,looking forward to exhaust system you choose as there are issues with the early models giving off too much heat from the Cat
Indeed mate, ive heard that.. but the Euro5 models now have the Cat (Cats) in the silencers...so changing them also De-Cats at the same time..!
@@Moonfleet41 I'm currently riding my 955 speed triple which ive had for 19 years now it's in immaculate condition, the only other thing that's worrying me is the keyless ignition there is issues with the key fob playing up just wish there was a conversion to get rid of the keyless ignition
The Tardis is in da house again!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!
Nice garage, very noisy toilet . . .
Pretty cool… Triumph should hire you as chief design engineer, Del! Exceptional photography, Penny!
🏍👍🏍
Now that would that would be cool! but unlikely..lol! Always good to hear from you buddy... take care and have a great week.. D&Px
@@Moonfleet41 😎
Usually tell a job by the way people sit & ride; ie. 'apehangers' & rear-sets? - they're an osteopath. Have a great week : )xx
Thanks
Most welcome, and thank you for your kind donation Karl !
tidy work as usual ! be nice if Penny's Triumph was carburated, be awesome to see the master Del remove dual Carbs, clean the choke plungers and enlarged the main jet (that would get a lot of views from the folks like me who have cold blooded Triumphs and are about to tear the carbs off) !!
I have '02 900 Scrambler. I want to take off the cast brackets that hold the headlight to have powder coated. They appear to be mounted the same way on the 1200 here. What I need to know is; do I need to take the upper triple tree loose to get the brackets out or can they just be fiddled out of the rubber mounts after removing the screw at the bottom of the brackets. Please.
Are they not tubes over the fork leg?, haven't seen a carb Scrambler for a while, can't rightly remember, if they are, then you'd need to pop the top yoke off and slide them up off the leg mate!
@@Moonfleet41 Sorry, my bad, it's a '2022. EFI. I'm going to attemt to fiddle it out first. But I fear you are right anyway. I'll have to buy a socket for that big nut. What is the torque on the center nut at the neck?
Tidy install with the adaptor brackets 👍🏻 the first thing I did was rotate the bar risers on the tiger 🙌🏻
Another nice little modification Del
Nick Australia
Thank you Nick, glad you enjoyed!
Why dont they already have adapter plugs on if made for scrambler.
Not made for scrambler, Universal...i did say !
Bike looking fantastic Del
Cheers mate.. hope you're both well.
