The Bike Dork

Took bloody ages! Did it though. Not 100% convinced about the arrow exhaust. I think I prefer it and it gives nice burbles on the overrun but it's a lot of money for not much gain.

I've gone for a small file - lots of elbow grease and time but i'm nearly there! Only gave up halfway through the first attempt because it started to rain.

Resized pic... Has nobody done this to their Street triple??

Can't seem to upload the photo...

This is what it looks like. There's a spot of weld either side of the metal bit the screw is on.

It's a tiny little spot next to the screw so I'd worry about slipping. I guess you're saying if I go slow enough it'll work though. Just a standard drill bit?

Hi all, I think this is the right section. What's the best way to remove the spot weld on the baffle for an arrow exhaust? Thanks, Alex.

I didn't realise this post was moved to pitstop! Yes, they are breather pipes apparently and supposed to be like that - they showed me the same on a new bike. There were no warning lights so I figured it was ok, it was just a bit disconcerting!

Just found these 3 rubber tubes seemingly disconnected under my triumph Street triple. It's 1 month old and is going in for its 1st service tomorrow morning so obviously I'll ask then. Any ideas what it is though? Is it still safe to ride? The reservoir looks low on fluid... Thanks, Alex.

Maybe I need to ask in-store. It's a Caberg Duke (picking it up on Saturday) and the bumpf on the website doesn't say it's bluetooth compatible. Are you saying it's rare for bluetooth sets not to fit in helmets?

That's very interesting - I just assumed i'd only be able to use in-ear style earphones.

That's interesting. Hadn't thought of that.

Hi all, I'm buying a new bike this weekend and will be getting upgraded seat, exhaust and mirrors. I want to keep the stock parts and sell them. Is there a better place to do so than eBay? Thanks, Alex.

Hi all, I'm about to get my first bike and i'm looking for a decent pair of in ear headphones for riding. I've googled best wireless headphones but I can't find much reference to motorbike frinedly 'phones. My helmet can't take a proper communication system so I'm thinking of some bluetooth earphones. Are there any that are particularly popular or generally considered 'the best'? Budget ideally less than £100. Thanks, Alex.
