    I'm back (ish) - swap my '23 H-D Street Bob UK only

    Yes, okay I cocked up. Hi again to the old and bold and hi for the first time to those that joined in the last 12 months. I sold my TC last year, put a Chinese bike on order, bottled it and got a Triumph Tiger 900 - fantastic bike, but I missed a cruiser. Tried for months to buy a certain R18B...

    The TC has now gone.

    Sorry to report that I have now sold the TC. I loved the bike and would have another in a heart beat if my circumstances justified it. :cry: I'll hang around for a while to sell a sissy bar and rack that I have (UK sale) and then I'll leave as I won't have anything more to contribute. I am...

    Sold Now sold UK 2021 Transcontinental

    This is a UK sale. I am based near Brighton on the south coast. I got this bike used in April 2024 for riding with my MC. Following some politics, I have left the MC and now have no need for a large cruiser (I'll either use the wife's 750 for commutting or get a Transalp for myself). I LOVE the...

    DOA

    Not quite as dramatic as it sounds. Previously I have had difficulty starting my TC and the PHONE battery symbol was red. The alarm siren has always been muted, as in barely noticeable. That was about 6 weeks ago. Fri I had exactly the same issue for about a minute but this time there was no...

    Kern Stabi X518 lift and rear bag protection bars

    So after umming and arring about the Stabi I bit the bullet and got one. I didn't research it or I would have discovered that as @fleabag has found out it is NOT compatible with rear bars out of the box. It is probably 5-10° short of maximum extension where the lever can be pulled out. This...

    Connecting to the auxiliary ignition (switched) live / power supply on the left side

    This has been covered before but there doesn't seem to be one single referenced guide to cover this, so here it is. For anyone looking for an ignition (switched) live there are two ready to cable up spare plugs on the bike. One is underneath the tank and I will show you the one which is very...

    Infotainment - speaker issue

    I switched on the bike yesterday and heard a loud "pop". The rear bag speakers (both of them) are now giving out a high pitched hum. Front and top case speakers are not affected. There is no radio or music shown on the infotainment - they are greyed out. Can't be a fuse otherwise the speakers...

    Gear oil - Recommended 70W/80 vs 75W/90

    Both of these weight oils are GL-5 spec. Has anyone got any experience of running 75W? I can't see that 75W would be much thicker in colder climates and the UK is officially temperate being warmer than both Washington and Maine on similar latitudes as we are warmed by the sea, so we don't get...

    Late 2021 model TC

    Hi everyone. I've been riding for about 30 years and I have my just acquired late 2021 model TC. I'm based in the UK and have a 2017 R1200RT, but TBH I'm too quick on it, so I will be selling it. I've previously had a First Edition for a week but long distance and the weather here, meant that it...
