Going againts the trend of very short front fenders - if any at all on truly street-flashy bikes - I am extending the front fender on my 2018 Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster. The extender is somewhere in between a mudguard and a lookalike-extension of the fender itself. I find it sufficiently subtle and it will do the trick of protecting the radiator and engine area from front wheel spray when d...

For better performance I am reprogramming the ECU of my 2018 Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster. For the past months I have had the Boosterplug installed - it did a very good job of improving idle and power at lower revolutions and it is a really easy /plug and play / quick-fix to improve the performance. Updating the ECU is more like "the full monty" of improving the engine management. Thank you s...

Here is a brief tour of my Harley-Davidson FL Electra Glide. The frame is 1969 and the engine is a 1970 model Shovelhead 1200 cc. The dealer that sold me the bike told me, that originally this Harley was donated to the Iraqi Police from the United States of America, and in the 1990’s a few handfuls of these bikes were imported to Denmark from Iraq. Whether this is true I do not know, but it is ...

A breath of fresh air for the Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster as I replace the air filters. I am using filters of the brand Hiflo - the fit is the same as OEM and my general impression of the quality is ok. I have not yet been able to locate performance filters such as K&N or similar for the 2018 Speedmaster, thus I am using the paper filter elements. My perspective on replacing with performance...

Just to share some of my experiences of the difference between good quality DIY and sloppy dealership work when working on and maintaining a motorcycle - and it goes for bicycles and cars as well. I demonstrate two examples from my 2018 Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster; A loose filler neck for the coolant system and a broken collar on the side panel. Since the video was recorded I have further fo...

Donnerwetter is the German word for Thunderstorm. Maybe a bit exaggerated, but still the Vance & Hines exhaust does add more rumble and deep bass to the motorcycle. Exchanging the otherwise nicely sounding OEM exhaust I look forward to springtime riding with an exhaust sound that - in my opinion - is a great match to the 1200 cc high torque engine. The video is short and explains in brief how t...

Another winter project in the garage. This is rather simple and short: Applying knee pads to the tank of the Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster. It does require a careful and precise positioning and thorough cleaning. Besides that, it's plug and play. A teaser for later videos: In the garage another motorcycle is sitting under cover for the winter. I will be showing this bike in later videos. For n...

Boosterplug installed on Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster 2018. It should enrichen the fuel mixture slightly to improve idle and performance - especially avoid near-stalling when releasing the throtthe. Easy fix, almost plug and play. On the side there is another experience with quality DIY being more careful with parts than my dealership: This time it's a broken mounting collar on the side panel...

To gain a deeper rumble and throaty sound I am installing an X-pipe on my Triumph Speedmaster. Tips for DIY how-to-do-it and a remark on the difference between good DIY work versus mistakes made by the professional dealership. At least when I work on the bike myself, I am sure that things are done in the right way with proper attention and care for details. The job is fairly easy and just takes...

A brief tour of my 2018 Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster motorcycle with the 1200 cc high torque engine. Fitted with a Madstad windshield, dresser bars, luxury seat, pillion and backrest. First start after sitting a few months during winter.
