I re-engineered the block, and used some 1/4" thick material this time. The bracket does mount easily without removing anything but the rear shifter bolt (let it dangle). I'm going for a long test ride tomorrow, and if it works well, I will post up the pictures I took and the details of what I did. Fingers crossed that this works!

Let us know how it went and post those pictures if possible. Sorry for the late reply, not getting or overlooking the notifications.
  Mine if still doing well after 2000 miles. I sourced my UHMW plastic from a 50 gallon plastic drum. I picked 2 up for free and use one for a rain barrel.  I'll have more plastic than I'll ever need!

I didn't realise, pre 96 had an opening in the cases for easier starter motor removal.

I miss typed this, it pre '95 (actually mid year 94) Sorry about that

Personally I'm not a fan of air filters that rely on a film of oil to assist filtration. The line between too little oil to make a difference & too much so it oils up sensors & fouls ugs is very slim.

After many years using after market filters  I'm now of the opinion that for normal road use  the designers knew what they were doing when they put OEM filters in.

Hey! How do you like the quality of the Zard? I'm looking into swapping out the OEM can for something a little different than some of the more popular brands. Thanks for the feedback in advance!

I've got a GPR exhaust on mine
Its a Furore Nero, I think.

This is NOt my bike, its from Norman Hyde Website.

Its slimmer than the oem, and not too noisy, but definitely a bit more throaty. Gurgles nicely on the overun too.

I had a 800XC Pre-DBW Gen 1 also, and it came with a 'Leo Vince' can - the unfortunate result was higher fuel use: 'Cos I loved the sound of it!!

I found that the 800XC with the 21" front felt the closest in handling to my '93 T400/885, especially after fitting Anakee Adventures. Found this out initially from a dealer/Triumph Ride Day covering both the 800 models when they were released, and a 1050 Sport, and confirmed in the couple of years I had it and doing a number of IBA rides.

Have not used HiFlo, only K&N. Have been told by a buddy that K&N overpriced and "just not worth it," so I'm looking elsewhere now lol. Ultimately still want the bike to breathe, just not at the risk of poor filtering.

There's a DNA air filter that's made in Greece (grease...get it?  ), so they have to have good filtration; but really, they seem to be very open about the product quality and making everything in house on their social media accounts.

Any of you ever tried one of these?

Mine was a pre RBW gen 1, I had similar issues with stalling easily. Punched in the TOR map of the day, which gave me the excuse to fit a Zard end can  , made a very noticeable difference to city riding for me.

The 21" wheel makes a noticeable difference, the suspension setup is quite different to the cast wheel variants, I rode a friends back to back and felt more at home with the XC handling. I later spoke with a Triumph road tester at a factory event, who'd been on the development team and his comment was the XC was the better handling of the models, he just looked at me and said "budget"
