    Does this bit need a gasket, or can I use a gasket glue? Also does this bit need an o ring as I'm getting a small leak when warmed up. Your knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. Dave.

    Hello, I recently got a '95 Thunderbird and I am having some issues with it. While the bike is idling for a few minutes with the kickstand down, the bike seems to overheat and turn itself off. The fan runs for a few minutes after this has happened, even with the key off, and it won't really...

  14. Water Cooled Twins Talk
    Hello all! I’ve been eyeballing the 2020-2021 Speedmaster. I wonder if any of my fellow Triumph affectionados also have experience with the T-Bird (especially Commander or LT) and the Speedmaster. If so, would you think I might regret “downsizing” from the 1700 Bird to the 1200 Speedmaster...
