Hi! new 675 owner here in IN!

[Rob377]

Hi all!

I'm the proud owner of a a new (to me) 675. I've been riding for years now and this is my first Triumph. I've got a thing for Euro bikes, and preceeding the 675 was a Duc 749R and a KTM Superduke. I decided to give up street riding entirely, so the Duke had to go. As for the Duc, after riding my friend's 675 for an entire day at Road America, it was decided that the 675 was more my style.

So I picked up MY 675 and began converting it to a proper track tool. It already had the Penske Triple, front end work, slipper clutch, Woodcraft case covers, the Zard Full system, a PCIII, and a set of Catalyst bodywork. I added Woodcraft clip-ons, rearsets, and frame sliders, and a 520 conversion.

It had a few other goodies on it that were replaced with stock parts. I took off the Brembo M/C and the APRacing calipers to keep it SS legal for CCS/WERA. So now its almost ready to go. Theres always something else to do, right?

As for my other bikes, I have a KTM 525 SMR supermoto thats a blast to ride. Can't beat $30 trackdays, tires that last all season, and being able to slide the bike around like my last name was "Hayden"

Welcome! Sounds like you are well on your way. Triple Threat needs a riding partner down there. Enjoy and post some pics of that bad boy!

Welcome...

Give me a shout sometime and we can compare notes... Spent the day at Putnam Park today with NESBA and had a blast once the track dried after the brief morning shower...

Sounds good. I'm hoping to get mine out for the first time at the CCS round later this month. Still tentative on that.
I've got new fork springs waiting at my shop up in Villa Park, IL and I'm trying to find the "sweet" geometry numbers. I've got the forks flush, to increase the trail a bit, but I can't find any data on rear ride height.
I suppose I could keep raising it until it finishes corners the way I like, but I'd rather get it right beforehand and spend the limited practice time gettin accustomed to the bike and track (haven't been there in a year)

Good for you! I made the switch from Ducati to Triumphe several years ago. Too much fighting and attitude from the local Ducati dealer.

Have fun at Road America. Haven't been there in 20 years. I used to race a Yamaha RZ350 there back in the middle ages

I would love to find a streetable RZ. Those things are insanity on a stick, looking for a place to happen!
