Binged all 5 vids on this build. Best on youtube. T120 arrives in the next couple of weeks, will be using this for the upgrade guide. Clear, concise & no BS. Great work.

Thanks Glenn, congratulations on your new bike, you'll absolutely LOVE the torque surge, and make sure you ride it for a fair few miles to get the feel of it standard, then do the upgrades, you'll be amazed at the difference. Off the lights it'll pull your arms out, and overtaking is a top gear affair, peak torque is about 3k revs, so just roll the throttle on and eat horizon.. Good luck with it, let us know how you get on and have fun... All the best Del.

On my ‘72 Triumph Daytona, that side cover contained the tool kit and liked to work itself loose. It did so one day on a straightaway northward of 100 MPH, and I pulled to the shoulder to walk back and find it. Five seconds after I’d stopped, the cover went skipping and sparking past me, straight as an arrow down the middle of the road. It didn’t stop for another hundred yards!

In my experience I have come across similar items to this,I don’t know if you noticed a power increase but when we put similar boxes on bikes and run them on the Dyno they fool the ecu for a short while but the ecu gets wise to them and reverts back to its default settings,it would be interesting to hear in a month or so your opinion on it,if you can open the small box there might only be a small resistor inside,this is only our opinion on the experiences we have had with them,others might have other opinions,interesting video though

@Moonfleet41 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Pete, I've heard this too, but along with various similar opinions, some say that if that happens, just un-plug it, plug the standard AIT back in, let the ECU default back to normal, then re-plug the booster in again, and I guess it fools it all over again?! And yes, I very much noticed the difference compared to the short ride I had before, the pull away wasn't a lurch and a stutter as normal, it was just clean and progressive, and if you just pin it wide open, it surges smoothly right round the clock... whereas before there was definitely a step in it that picked up after 3k... you could say it's generally an overall improvement in tractability, the kind of which would usually be achieved by 1/2hr on a laptop on a Dyno just fiddling with the fueling!

Hello Del, I have similar devices installed on my H-D Iron 883, they are Nightrider XiED leads, the leads plug straight into the oxygen sensors circuits. The leads fool the ECM into thinking that the engine is running too lead, it responds by adding more fuel to the mixture. The XiED leads help the engine to run cooler and they improve the throttle response.

One cool feature though and why I like them, is they have some form of zig zag stretchy stitching on the inside of the fingers which curl the fingers in, a natural grip position, and it makes it much more comfortable to just relax your hands on the grips... seriously top quality leather, loads of feel on the switches, but above all mate, pure summer only!

One of the first modifications that I performed on my 2017 T120 was the Booster Plug. I thought that the fueling was a little snatchy when starting out and that removed that issue. I have seen no change in the gas mileage whatsoever. One change that I did make was that after watching your installation I went right out and copied your tidy on all the cables. It looks a lot better than my original attempt. I had tried something similar years ago on my Toyota pickup truck; I wrapped the O2 sensor in the exhaust with a couple of layers of aluminum foil which fooled the ECU. That made the fuel input much richer, but it did it at all speeds which didn't work out so well for my fuel economy. I didn't have any of the resistors and internal circuitry that the Booster Plug has. At any rate, thanks for the great video. The internet is better off when you post a video!

@Moonfleet41 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the great feedback buddy, as you may see from some of the comments, a few people have had negative results with the boost plug, but I personally felt that smoothing out the jerky pull away was a great asset, and it launches much more crisply now too... and thanks for your kind words on the install, I do get a little obsessive about tidy wiring! Maybe that's a lifetime of sorting out sticky birds nest?! Have a great week and thanks for you kind words Don.

Any help would be great.

@Moonfleet41 3 жыл бұрын

Hi there Stephen, I have to say I didn't get a check engine light on this, and if everything's correctly fitted in to the exhaust, the TEC exhaust gives you the exact same O2 sensor ports as the factory system and you should have let it idle for 10mins after fitting it, however, the development for the system was all done by TEC Bike Parts and they're very good at it, so I might respectfully suggest to drop George Milburn a line at TEC Bike Parts and pose your question, am quite sure he'll be able to help you sort it out...

Hey Del, Question. I've been thinking about slightly longer rear shocks for my 2005 t100. Before I bought it, the previous owner put a pair of Hagons on it. They're fine, but the fender height seems really low and I'm assuming it's because they are a shorter shock vs the factory ones. They measure 12 inches center to center, under load of just the bike. I don't have a center stand and haven't tried jacking it up yet. I know that's only 304 mm. I've read different shock heights for the different Bonneville models. I believe the Thruxton is the tallest at 360mm I believe? I don't wanna go crazy, but would like to add a couple inches. Do you have an opinion and tell me what the factory length is for a t100 on average? Appreciate it. Thanks

@Moonfleet41 Жыл бұрын

Here you go Peter, perfect solution, These TEC shocks are for your bike, 335mm lowest and have the adjustable height feature to take them up to 375mm if you need.. so an inch higher right away, and up to 3 inches highest.... should give you lots of adjustability to set the back to height exactly where you want it mate..

Very robust exhaust sound. I did the de-cat (Motone x-pipe) and switched the pea-shooters to Sleeper Pro silencers. Similar sound, but I am intrigued by your T-120's sound which might be a bit better. What silencers are on your bike? Keep up the great work with your very useful videos!

@Moonfleet41 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Richard, mine isn't twin silencers, it's a 2-into-1 system from the cylinder head back, it's the TEC Rebel 2-into-1 and you just have the single silencer on the right side, saves a massive amount of weight and opens up the breathing no end... it's the next level to take your bike to after the de-cat and a definite upgrade. It may sound similar on video to an x-pipe and open cans, but in real life it's very different, it's deeper and more solid with no echo, here's a link to the video fitting it, which was part of this series..... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZOogrpqvbKbZKc.html

Was a great idea I liked it at first, smoothed out the jerkiness in lower gears , But now that I switched it back, I got used to it real quick and I love it without the booster.

Interesting feedback mate, self teaching computers can often act against modifications, sometimes a system like that needs to be idled for 10mins before first use otherwise it never knows where to read it for the best... but I guess time will tell what happens with this one!

Delboy's Garage I did just that when I installed it . I let it idle until the fan turned on , then started riding it 🤷‍♂️

@@thelegendarysweendog3171 Hi buddy,the idle process is pretty specific, let it idle for at least 10 full minutes, then switch it off without touching the throttle, and leave it for another 3-4mins, if you rode away at the end of the idling period, you effectively confuse it, if you're interested, give it another try, it worked me!

I dont know about you Del, but , putting a full exhaust system ( British Customs ) on my 2022 T100 and a few other mods changed my whole riding experience. I also have 2023 Speedmaster, but , i prefer riding the T100 and a lot of that has to do with the way it sounds. Loud pipes my not save lives but they can sure wake them up!

HI Delboy..I have problems with my truxton 900 2011y. When I turn to steer to the right , my speedometer stops working and I lose ignition. I checked the speedometer and it looks ok. Did you ever had such a problem? I would really appreciate the help. thanx for the great helpful videos. Greetings from Norvay.

Hi John, thank you for your kind words, yes the terrain around here is very much like the Isle of Man, similar geography as they say, but we're near the south coast in the county of Dorset. we're so sorry to hear about the fires, it's on our news all the time, we have a friend from Paradise who lost absolutely everything in the last round of fires, so a terrible time for you all over there... be safe and keep away from danger, thank you for your support, D&Px

So my first and current bike is a 13 HD sportster 883 super low. And I went to the delar today just to get new fluids for spring. I seen a 2022 t120 limited edition gold line on the show room floor. Very tempted to get this thing on payments love the look. It just figured I'd comment here to get your opinion as since I've followed you you seem to work in Harleys and Triumphs. Cheers

The Bonnie and Thruxton shouldn’t get all the love and attention. The A/S is a phenomenal bike! If I get another Triumph that’ll be the one I get.

looks and sounds great brother . I can't believe Triumph would put a bike out with a choppy pickup .(Well actually I can) They must be so opressed by regulation as with all manufacturers . Bikes are now so lean for emissions it's a wonder we don't have more burnt out valves and blown head gaskets . Not to mention headers hotter than the sun ! ..Oh well I guess that's progress . I'm happy with my carbs and 20mpg in hooligan mode or 30 mpg steady and carbon monoxide poisoning if I get near the exhaust !😲👍🏻👍🏻☮☮❤❤

@Moonfleet41 3 жыл бұрын

Sure thing Brother, ridiculous regulations they have to dance round, makes bikes run so lean, they must fart flowers out the back! And if that isn't bad enough, they go and site a girt big cat convertor right under the sump to pour all that heat soak up in to your oil pan and make matters even worse, what was wrong with putting them in the silencers?! Maybe they're having some fantasies about centralised mass or something?!! But with that gone, the fuel richened up and 2 stone of pig iron removed, it rides like a startled gazelle by comparison! And I know what you mean about carbs, I love the Harley with it's big wheezing S&S window cleaner's bucket that spits back and stinks of fuel when you switch it off... no wonder the latte drinkers hate it ;-0 Keep safe Brother and keep in touch, all the best, Del

I’m not sure on the mirrors. I know you didn’t think the bar ends suited the bike. Mirrors must be one of the hardest bits to get right on a bike looks wise always seem to be an afterthought straight from the factory. We have to have them we’ll just stick em on!

@Moonfleet41 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Alan, yes indeed, the mirrors are a real challenge on this bike because their mounting holes are at least an inch closer together, which is why the factory has 12" long stalks, these are of course a compromise on here now, but they work in practical terms and they look ok... great to hear from you buddy, have a great week and keep in touch!

@Moonfleet41 3 жыл бұрын

Sadly mate, there's now paddock stand that lifts it without bobbins that i know of.. but if you have after market exhausts that expose the ends of the axle, then you can fit these from TEC bike parts.. they fit through the axle then you can use a regular paddock stand.. www.tecbikeparts.com/product/1200-bobber-speedmaster-2017-on-paddock-stand-bobbins-axle-adaptor-bobbins-kit/ but if you have the factory pipes fitted still, and no access to the axle.. then you can fit a TEC main stand if you want... Here's a link, it's a bolt on kit.. www.tecbikeparts.com/product/main-stand-kit-triumph-water-cooled-t100-year-2016-onward/ Hope that helps.. !
