Hello everyone I have a question that I would like to get feedback on. If your dealership was to give you an appointment to install , Predators, air box removal kit, signal minder, grips, and a set of new moto lights. How long should that take. I enjoy all the triumph banter. Thanks for the opinions

2 hours in reality... 3-4 hours typically.

For under $100, you can walk-out of Sears with a bike lift and enough hand tools to do the work yourself. It's easy... really (with proper instructions). Many have tried, few have failed. You should get the tools anyways.

Really? The tech who did all my work said that removing the airbox required removing the swingarm, which he said was non-trivial. Was he less than truthful?

He is full of himself, all you need to do to get the airbox out is jack up the back of the bike far enough to get the box up over the rear wheel..( remove the rear shocks )


...swingarm removal is ridiculous.
