    Redoing the brakes on my 2000 Sprint ST Got the brakecrafter rebuild kits for the front calipers and MC Are there any good middleground aftermarket pads/master cylinders out there? Feels like I have to choose between either $15 amazon MCs/pads or used OEM parts... or if i want new, $300 brembo...
  2. Air Cooled Twins Technical Talk
    Hello. I was out on the parking lot practicing some high speed emergency stopping, getting up to 30 miles an hour and then trying to stop as quickly as possible. I’ve been doing this for a while and I’ve never locked the front wheel but this happened today. And the bike almost came down, but I...

    Out yesterday in the searing heat (October 9, 2023 Ontario Canada 34 Celsius !!) riding down a very steep hill with many very tight turns, then into a traffic jam, stop and go. Went for my brakes, and the rear brake pedal went way down, spongy as heck ! Got home, let the bike cool down, and the...

    Has any 2022 Trident owners experienced this? My Trident after a few days of not riding(2-3 days in between rides),the rear brake needs to be pumped several times before riding so it will work. I’ve checked the bike for brake fluid leaks,checked the fluid level,it’s good also. Can air be getting...

    What are the cleanest solutions you've seen to get rid of the ugly plastic brake reservoir on the SE models? I'm aware of the $100+ BC and LSL billet reservoirs. Something about dropping that much for a little aluminum cup is hard for me to digest. Anyone know if it's possible to put the OEM...
  6. Maintenance & Workshop Talk
    Hey Everyone! I picked up my first Triumph, a 2003 Speedmaster the other day, and as I was cruising today my front brakes failed. I was able to baby it home and found out this bracket broke off. I was wondering whether anyone’s seen a similar failure, and if anyone knows about any options to...

    Morning all, A few months back I managed to bag myself a deal on a non runner. I love a project and the price was so good I couldn't say no. I managed to get it running with little effort and then decided to fix the seized front brakes. I've rebuilt both of the front calipers as they was in a...

    Hello , I have a front brake seal kit for the triumph sprint front brakes . It has two seals for each piston. On removing the pistons I found the top dust seal with a little groove in it and replaced it with the new no problem. However the second inner groove had no existing seal and the seal in...
  9. Thunderbird Cruiser Chat
    So, thinking someone here will have some wisdom, as I'd really like to narrow down the scope of the problem, rather than paying shop rate for a mechanic to scratch his head and make phone calls to Triumph. I had the 15K servicing done, and a few days after I got the bike back, I noticed that my...

    First post. Denver CO, 2010 Thunderbird 1600. So I got the old lady out from under the cover for the first time this year, and found out I have no rear brakes. Tried pumping them up to try to evacuate some fluid, but no luck. Pedal goes straight to the floorboard everytime. Could this be a...

    I replaced both sets of brake pads less than 2000 miles ago. The front ones seem to be doing okay, but the rear inner pad (closer to the wheel, farther from the brake piston) is completely out of material and the base of the pad has started scratching the disk. When I replaced them, the front...
