I got some good info from searching, but still have a question.

The parts reference shows you can use this Yamaha cable for a 2000 Sprint ST:

2000 ST - Yamaha part # 1UY3500-3102

Will that work on my 2000 RS with 1" risers? I found my clutch cable very frayed where it enters the clutch lever (you can't see it unless the clutch is pulled all the way in).

Thanks!

The UK owner's manual lists the standard Z6 for the front tire and the "C" version for the rear tire as an optional fitment to the Bridgestone BT020 NN.

Do you guys thinks this matters if you use the "C" version for the rear tire or the standard Z6? Also, I e-mailed the US Metzeler website and they recommended the standard Z6 for front tire and rear tire or the new Interact Z6 standard tire. ]]> Sprint Forum Revolagoy http://www.triumphrat.net/sprint-forum/125873-metzeler-roadtec-z6-c.html http://www.triumphrat.net/sprint-forum/125869-cheap-gps-mount-for-the-st.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:48:48 GMT While waiting for my Gen-Mars to arrive I was searching for a GPS mount and looked at all I could find, I was not impressed with any except the triumph mount and I would still have to buy an adapter. I already had a Garmin 2730 mounted to another bike with the Garmin bike adapter kit and ball type handle bar mount. As I was placing the Garmin unit in places that I thought I would like it the only place for the large GPS unit would be above the triple crown nut and looked for a mount but was limited to modifying an mount or making my own. While I was at a supply store I saw some steel flat bar and thought a bar between the clip-on’s mounting bolts would work and found some aluminum flat bar next to the steel and a design was born. After going home and doing so thinking I thought it would work and made a parts list, The list consist of 1” flat bar, 8 mm all thread,8 mm nylock nuts and some washers. The photos below show what I came up with. I plan to add some rubber washers and do some tweaking and get some shorter bolt for the Garmin mount next trip to the supply store.

I'll mount up a waterproof box on a 3" arm for my GPS this weekend. :)

I have no affiliation with RAM, just a customer. I couldn't justify the expense of the Telferizer ball mount, so I waited for the RAM mount to be available (approx. $11 US each, plus shipping, if I remember correctly) ]]> Sprint Forum GizmoRider http://www.triumphrat.net/sprint-forum/125857-ram-mounts.html http://www.triumphrat.net/sprint-forum/125856-moto-fizz-bag-on-st.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:31:44 GMT I'm looking very closely at a MotoFizz bag (linky) for my 2008 Sprint. Does anyone happen to have a picture of a MotoFizz bag on the bike with the panniers?

I can't seem to decide between size Medium and size Large. ]]> Sprint Forum steves http://www.triumphrat.net/sprint-forum/125856-moto-fizz-bag-on-st.html
