Fitted some bling to the Bobton today.
Ever since my foot caught the ground and broke my tib and fib, I have to admit I’m a bit nervous when leaning over, and I definitly can’t afford for it to happen again, so anything I can do to gain some ground clearance has to be a move in the right direction.

Enter Raisch, a German custom parts supplier. They do a suspension link that raises the rear of the bike. I shall be raising the front by utilising the speed twin forks which are longer than the bobber forks.

Looks like a needle-bearing in one end?

It’s non-rotating, I’d expect plain bushing (or cushion sleeve like other end).

The standard one also had a needle bearing in one end. And a sleeve which you reuse in the new one🤓

Yeah- often used for rocking applications, but I'd have thought there was very little motion at all - there.

But - Triumph ain't gonna make a mistake with it.

I'm getting tuned in to the Speed Twin now. It's definitely a feel-good bike, and (for me) best suited to a bimble around the lanes, with the occasional A road thrown in.

Here it is, outside the Great British Pub of the Year, 2023/24.

The dogbones in my Aprilias used needle bearings. Far better than bushings. The only guys that complained were those who didn't give them the occasional regreasing and were amazed when they seized up.
