...THIS is where all the T3 Speed Triple owners are!

Man, I've been adrift in the 1050 section all this time.

Gotta get caught up on Speed Triple posts over here.

The Original and best, if they had never had made the T300 Speed Triple so gosh darn perfect, then well you can guess the rest....... welcome home brother! :chug:

Hey Stone, that's a sweet lookin' bike.

 

[StoneTriple]

Thanks. She's probably my favorite bike I've ever owned.

 

[MotT3]

A 95 in Orange MMmmmm... good taste fellow T3 owner

Always happy to exchange comments/help etc on the best S3 they made :razz:

Stone,
Did you use to hang out at twtex.com? Are you in the Metromess area? I'd like to try get together some time and maybe compare bikes. I'd be interested in just hearing another 95 Triple.

I see that I'm not the only one that see's it as the 1050 section. Those dudes need their own board. Let us vintage pre-1050 guys talk about something other than Zard cans and handlebars. We're all graduated from that years ago. 6 years in my case....(ride a '99)

Yes I did. I asked that my account be deleted after The Master edited one of my posts. I'll speak for myself. Truthfully, I was never too active on that board. It's solely Master's board - not the community he misrepresents it as.

I'm not at all ok with my thoughts being judged and censored. But that's cool - it's his server, his software, his bandwidth, etc - he's more than entitled to lord over people and speak for them.

What's disturbing is that anyone would want to.


I live in Houston. I'm not close to Plano. If I were ever to head that way, I'd make a post a few weeks ahead of time to see if anyone was interested in riding.

It's good to see that there's more T3 Speed Triples around than I had previously thought.

Yeah, there's only so many threads I can read about fender eliminators and frame sliders. :knkknk:

Don't know if you remember, but as you can tell, I pulled the trigger and got the black 95 Triple I chatted with you briefly online about. Thanks for your input.

So far, it's been a blast except for the carbs. When I first got it, the pilot jet on the center carb was badly clogged and #3 was not much better. Got that sorted out and got myself a carb sync tool. Things were running pretty good until a couple of weeks ago when either one of the o-rings on one of the float assembly was leaking or a float's sticking. Was flooding the engine and dripping gas out the airbox. Since I was never 100% sure I had the mixture right anyway, I decided to wimp out and let the guys at RPM have a go. Hoping all the good I've heard about them holds true. I'm anxious to see it's true potential.

 

[StoneTriple]

Letting someone else sync your carbs isn't wimping out - at least not in my book. I do most everything myself, but carbs and tire-mounting I leave to the dealer.

I think you'll dig her. It's a different kind of ride than the new ones, alright. It's more visceral, more involved. She has her own ideas on how things should be done, but once you learn the bike, it's a blast. You have to be a little more involved with her - but that's why we ride, man.

Glad to say RPM Cycles in Dallas did a bang-up job on the carbs. Queen Izzy is running the best she has since I got her. And, today, I calculated almost 40 mpg! :upthumb:

 

[LOST95]

Hey Stone... just wondering what kind of flyscreen you have on your bike... hard to tell from the side. I hope your watching this thread, if not i might send you an email in a day or so...thanks....Macca.

 

[StoneTriple]

It's off of a 1997 Buell Cyclone. It stands up a little taller because of the double gauges.

 

[LOST95]

Thanks mate.... i had heard that the buell flysceen could be fitted and apparently with little hassles, how did it go, easy? small hassle? dont have to be an fitter and turner? Thanks for you help ... Lucifer Orange Speed Triples RULE.... Macca.

 

[tealetm]

Diablo black is just as nice though... null

It mounts to the the two bolts that hold the headlight on. It's about a 10 minute procedure.
