Title: Idiot lights???
Post by: NZDeano on November 26, 2011, 11:16:50 PM
Using the search function I can see that others have been down this path, but I couldnt find exactly what I am looking for.
Does anyone know where I can purchase some led replacement bulbs for my girlies dash that would be reasonably easy to get from NZ?

Have you asked Thunderbike in Nelson if they know?

No I haven't but checking through their online stuff it would appear not. I got some for my scrambler from Norman Hyde in UK (what a difference they make) Actually thinking about it they are probably the same size. Might try that then.

I thought I read something on here about not changing the low fuel light also.  Someone did it and the low fuel circuit requires the resistance of the incandescent lamp to work properly, on girlies anyways.  Just a thought.

Don't know without getting the circuit diagrams out if its true or not, but you couldn't make it up could you :lol: Triumph, God bless 'em...

I just did a search, and it is possible that the low fuel led being on too soon was on a steamer thread.  Not sure about girlies now.

They are not really in business in anymore. (Think they still do Tours but have shut their store front down about a year back)

Heres what I understand and know about Thunderbike in Nelson NZ. They were Triumph and KTM dealers for years, with full workshop facilitiies. During their time as Triumph and 'Godbless' them they developed a number of pretty awesome Triumph aftermarket parts. The best known probably being the "Thunderbike Cam' for the 865cc twins and the 'Thunderbike exhaust' for bonnevilles, scramblers etc.. For the Tigers they developed the good strong crash bars (made from railway irons)
They had disputes with Triumph NZ and the dealership was changed to a place called 'FILCO FARM & SPORT' also still in Nelson NZ.

I understand that Thunderbike still sell aftermarket stuff on the internet only, as I was looking up for a set of crash bars for my Girly, and they were still listed. They still do tours. Not sure if the store front is completely closed because this would mean no KTM, but you could be right. Shame really.
