Do i need to tighten something up.

Just picked up the bike is this normal to have so much space between the headstock and switch gear etc


Thanks

Maybe so..

I'm a little tighter on my 2008 SE. (Also wanted to show the world my new Watsen Design flush-mount signals and GB Racing frame sliders)

Makes me wonder about your other thread about the sticker. If you have this eye for details - how could you have missed the sticker on purchase day? I go with my theory about a "new" paint job failing on your wau home...

Good luck!

I tried the bike and to be honest looked everywhere on the bike but somehow managed not to notice the belly stickers!!

anyway i have sent off a letter to Triumph so we will see what will happen.

I have stripped the bike back to the bones and in the process off giving a good rub and polish down lol.

Pics will be coming.

Those look like aftermarket grips (possibly Rizoma). As such, they could be shorter than the stock grips. This could have resulted in the dealership or the original owner, who may have installed the grips, moving the switchgear to eliminate the gap between the grip and the switchgear...

Hard to tell...
