Title: Oh no, any Triumph Trained Technicians out there?
Post by: Timbox2 on April 18, 2016, 05:59:01 PM
Bought this at Fowlers this morning to replace the bent version on my brake pedal, and look, I didnt read the pack before I left.

By EU law, all manufacturers have to offer training to any qualified person and charge at the same rate as their internal charge out. Same goes for special tools.

I thought Triumph made more "home mechanics" than any other motorcycle. (http://www.cash-5.com/Smileys/laughing.gif)

Easy to do as well, but no, my new pivot is nicely installed. Think this all started with the bent centre stand bracket. Got a really good rear brake now that I can lock-up if Im not careful
