Had we known back in 07 when we bought it we Definitely would've had it done back then. Hindsight being 20/20 and after Much Research we are going to have The Krown Treatment done to this one as we live in Northern Michigan and are Lucky enough to have a Krown Shop up in Gaylord about 35min away from us here in Roscommon/Higgins Lake.

HERE IS THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here’s a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God’s name in vain? Jesus said, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” If you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart, and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called Hell. But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law and Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you.

Yeah well if you don't buy a bike from a shop who is going to fix it? It's the same with all off these Chinese bikes you order online. If they break you have to fix them. If you can't do that then buy a bike from a shop that can do the repairs for you. The Ariel rider x-class is unlike any other bike out there with its 2,000 watt motor and awesome power at its price range. I have almost 3,000 trouble free miles on mine. And yes I know what end of the screwdriver to hold on to and I'm capable of doing my own repairs if need be. Sorry you had problems with yours, most people do not. Pretty bold statement to say they are junk on my video because you had problems but thousands of others have not. And no where on there site do they say they will provide repairs, just cover warranty on parts. I am not sponsored or endorsed by them, just very happy with my bike. I get nothing extra from them, I bought my bike, put it together, modified it, and just enjoy it. If you have an issue with them you need to take it up with them, not me or my viewers that also have these bikes and enjoy them.

hi from the UK i have a 2016 T120 just came back from a ride and i remembered you saying about the bars maybe changing or putting in risers well on my bike there was a cable routing mod to the headstock area which my bike had the mod fitted to alleviate clutch cable rubbing but also i feel to compensate for a lack of cable length in that area to allow full lock to lock turn on the handle bars now i know yours is a later model and i know the rectifier position under the headlamp was changed but be careful to allow sufficient slack in the harness ; lucky for me i brought mine from a main dealer over 2 years ago And 2 weeks into ownership a fault was diagnosed with the main wiring harness, starting indicators , and it needed a complete new harness i dread to think how much that would have cost . since then i now have nearly 16,000 miles on the clock with no issues especially since i fitted Meltzer roadtec 01 tyres/tires front and back enjoy your bike
@woodtickgreg69264 ай бұрын
Thanks for the advise it's much appreciated. I haven't done the risers yet but probably will this season, there's snow on the ground here still so spring hasn't sprung yet. I did just get some new Bridgestone batlax tires for it, still need to get those mounted. I'm also thinking of doing progressive springs in the front so I'd do the risers at that time. The bike has been a dream and I'm still in love with it. It's perfect for me. Stay safe and enjoy the ride.

Nice job and nice machine. The only critique that I have is I didn’t see you check the rear bearing for the auger shaft. Considering the condition of the other ball bearings, the odds of that ball bearing being any good don’t seem high to me. That combined with the regularity of these bearings wearing out on older machines is working against you. I don’t know why I don’t see the folks working on these checking those bearings very often? The only answer I can conclude if they don’t know how to check it, it’s quite simple. You simply remove the top cover grab the pulley and pull upwards. No other disassembly required and the machine should be in normal upright position. If you feel distinct slop, it’s bad. I think when folks try to do this from underneath or in the air with the belly pan off the tension from the belt is enough to throw the test off as well as the weight on the shaft is different. Replacing it well that’s an entirely different kettle of fish. Maybe that’s why they’re not looking. Hint, any pulley keyways, will have bulged the shaft which need to be filed in that area before attempting to disassemble because the shaft will not pull through the bearing. The shaft is so soft, even a minor hammer blow directly to the end of it will mushroom the shaft so it will not go through the bearing! Have your brass drifts handy? This should keep you out of trouble and not needing extreme persuasion a.k.a. acetylene torch and other cuss words!
@woodtickgreg69265 ай бұрын
Good advise. Even though I did not show it or talk about it I did check that bearing and all others. I only replaced the obviously worn bearings. If I ever have to replace the auger shaft bearing that's an entirely new project for another day. But for now she is working great!

I’ve already put one in on my 03 that’s what that is replace it you might be able to tighten that up but usually just replace it because the holes or Wollard out.
I did replace it, that's what the video was all about.
Hey Greg, we just bought a 2024 4Runner Limited coming off of an 06 Tundra that we Absolutely Love, but alas the frame is almost rusted through (I am going to have it fixed & use as a Winter/two track vehicle & save the 4Runner) & we Never had it treated Damn-It !!! Had we known back in 07 when we bought it we Definitely would've had it done back then. Hindsight being 20/20 and after Much Research we are going to have The Krown Treatment done to this one as we live in Northern Michigan and are Lucky enough to have a Krown Shop up in Gaylord about 35min away from us here in Roscommon/Higgins Lake. My Only Concern is with the brake rotors & pads getting Contaminated with ALL that Overspray Flying around in the air while they are treating it. Do you have ANY thoughts/concerns regarding this issue ??? Thanks & Great Video Greg !!!😉
I had no issues with the brakes being contaminated, and they did spray everything heavily.
HERE IS THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here’s a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God’s name in vain? Jesus said, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” If you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart, and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called Hell. But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law and Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you.
Hello, good job on the presentation everything looks real clean style wise ! I would like your opinion regarding how much protection those bars provide for the engine side cases (since they are several inches below) ?? Thank you
I think they stick out just far enough that they would come in contact with the ground first in the event of a tip over. I hope I never have to find out! 😊
So happy for you! You picked a great bike. Wishing you well... C J
Thank you. Still loving this bike and I don't wish for anything else. It's a pleasure to ride. I di buy some new tires for it, but I haven't mounted them yet. The stock tires are not great, many have complained about them. When I get the new tires mounted I'll see if they where right about that.
I bought a T-120 Black of the same year. The T-120 is just the best all-rounder that Triumph makes.
I agree, it is a great all around bike. Still love mine.
@@woodtickgreg6926 I would've got the Speed Twin but I still want to tour occasionally.
Very good video sir. One question, could you tell me what model of windshield you use or where I can get that same model, thank you very much and new follower.
It is a Madstad brand windshield. I also have a video showing how to install it. Madstad builds each windshield to order. Best to call and talk to them or email them. They will also explain to you how to measure for the correct height of the wi dshield. I am very happy with it.
E Bike ? Its like ca
I'm not sure what your question is or your statement if your making one.
Hello, I have a Triumph Bonneville t120 black . 2023 Model. A couple of days ago I installed the Madstad windshield by watching this video and thank you for it. After Removing the stock top fork clamp bolt and replacing it with the ones Madstad provided, I see that the bolt is not %100 in its place screwed. So,I just wanted to ask you if this is a normal situation or did I do something wrong? I took the picture of it as well and can send it to you too. Your help would be super helpful and thank you very much.
Compare the 2 bolts side by side and see if the new one that madstad supplied is indeed longer. Mine was.
How tall are you and what size is your screen? I’m 6,1 ready to buy. Thinking 20”
I'm 5'9" I purchased the 18" and I have it set about in the middle and I can look over it. If you call madstad they will instruct you on how to measure for your height. It takes 2 people to properly measure while you are sitting on the bike.
Interesting. I’ve had T120s in the past and never considered the option of a top box, probably because I had a sissy bar and grab-rails on them which might hinder the top box plate. However I recently got a Speed Twin 900 (aka Street Twin) and I had a plate and top box fitted. I know top boxes spoil the look, but they are practical and offer comfort to my wife riding pillion. Thanks. 🇬🇧
Great review and bloody lovely bike I love my speed twin too same engine very well built triumph have it spot on 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
I've had the bike for awhile now and I'm still in love with it. It's perfect for me. Enjoy your speed twin mate.
Cheers you keep enjoying that bonnie 👍
Also it's great you Americans still like the triumph brand john bloor did well keeping them going 👍
its junk dont buy it. just returned mine. company expects you to do all repairs even if defective. DONT DO IT!
Yeah well if you don't buy a bike from a shop who is going to fix it? It's the same with all off these Chinese bikes you order online. If they break you have to fix them. If you can't do that then buy a bike from a shop that can do the repairs for you. The Ariel rider x-class is unlike any other bike out there with its 2,000 watt motor and awesome power at its price range. I have almost 3,000 trouble free miles on mine. And yes I know what end of the screwdriver to hold on to and I'm capable of doing my own repairs if need be. Sorry you had problems with yours, most people do not. Pretty bold statement to say they are junk on my video because you had problems but thousands of others have not. And no where on there site do they say they will provide repairs, just cover warranty on parts. I am not sponsored or endorsed by them, just very happy with my bike. I get nothing extra from them, I bought my bike, put it together, modified it, and just enjoy it. If you have an issue with them you need to take it up with them, not me or my viewers that also have these bikes and enjoy them.
You are right on with your assessment ! could not have said it better myself and I have been on a similar journey and you have articulated your decision perfectly
little late to your channel. great video. who makes those bmx handlebars, probably gonna do this when I get mine. thanks in advance subscribed
Man I did this so long ago I can't remember what brand the bars are. I did get them from Dan's comp though.
Thanks I’m at dans comp now. When I get my bike I’ll figure out what size is right for me Have you made more upgrades to the bike since then?
Yeah I think I have. I did a few videos along the way. If you get bored and have so.e time maybe watch the others. Better than the crap that's on TV, lol.
It’s pronounced Aventon not aventure and the bike you bought is from Lektric not Electric .
Yeah I know, get confused when talking sometimes. And the old bike was an Aventon Aventure. Oops! No one is perfect.
What a cream puff !
hi from the UK i have a 2016 T120 just came back from a ride and i remembered you saying about the bars maybe changing or putting in risers well on my bike there was a cable routing mod to the headstock area which my bike had the mod fitted to alleviate clutch cable rubbing but also i feel to compensate for a lack of cable length in that area to allow full lock to lock turn on the handle bars now i know yours is a later model and i know the rectifier position under the headlamp was changed but be careful to allow sufficient slack in the harness ; lucky for me i brought mine from a main dealer over 2 years ago And 2 weeks into ownership a fault was diagnosed with the main wiring harness, starting indicators , and it needed a complete new harness i dread to think how much that would have cost . since then i now have nearly 16,000 miles on the clock with no issues especially since i fitted Meltzer roadtec 01 tyres/tires front and back enjoy your bike
Thanks for the advise it's much appreciated. I haven't done the risers yet but probably will this season, there's snow on the ground here still so spring hasn't sprung yet. I did just get some new Bridgestone batlax tires for it, still need to get those mounted. I'm also thinking of doing progressive springs in the front so I'd do the risers at that time. The bike has been a dream and I'm still in love with it. It's perfect for me. Stay safe and enjoy the ride.
I was planning on getting the long range one then I realized that I could just buy another 10 ah battery for just $120 more than the cost of the long range. Then I would have a total of 20 ah instead of 14
Good video. However, I never ever remove the pith. It is the best party of the wood.
It is the part that will cause the most cracking and defects as it dries.
I like the idea of using that cart to set the planer base at the same height as your table saw, or any table for that matter, to use as infeed/outfeed. Nice work sir.
What torque settings did you use after installing
I think it was 40nm.
👊👊
"Black has been done to much", the understatement of the day.
Yeah some folks really like it but it's just not for me on a classic style bike like this.
Very informative video! I just picked one up a couple days ago. Any chance you could drop a link for the owners manual?
I can't remember where I got it. I just did a search on Google. I might have downloaded it right from ariens. I just printed it off at home. You do want to match it up by serial and model number.
@@woodtickgreg6926 Thank you! Love the vids. God bless! 🙏
The finders looks great. Might not protect everything but they look great.
And that's all the really do, just look good. I have changed them since I made this video.
Great video. Thank you.
may i ask which tank bag you have? and did you have to add anything to frame to mount the bag (make it more stable?) thanks a bunch.
It's a bag I purchased from Amazon. If you watch the first 2 assembly videos I did I talk about it there and I may have left a link. I also did kind of a cool mount for it in the videos too.
thanks for the fast response. i will have to check out the other vids. cheers! @@woodtickgreg6926
Nice job and nice machine. The only critique that I have is I didn’t see you check the rear bearing for the auger shaft. Considering the condition of the other ball bearings, the odds of that ball bearing being any good don’t seem high to me. That combined with the regularity of these bearings wearing out on older machines is working against you. I don’t know why I don’t see the folks working on these checking those bearings very often? The only answer I can conclude if they don’t know how to check it, it’s quite simple. You simply remove the top cover grab the pulley and pull upwards. No other disassembly required and the machine should be in normal upright position. If you feel distinct slop, it’s bad. I think when folks try to do this from underneath or in the air with the belly pan off the tension from the belt is enough to throw the test off as well as the weight on the shaft is different. Replacing it well that’s an entirely different kettle of fish. Maybe that’s why they’re not looking. Hint, any pulley keyways, will have bulged the shaft which need to be filed in that area before attempting to disassemble because the shaft will not pull through the bearing. The shaft is so soft, even a minor hammer blow directly to the end of it will mushroom the shaft so it will not go through the bearing! Have your brass drifts handy? This should keep you out of trouble and not needing extreme persuasion a.k.a. acetylene torch and other cuss words!
Good advise. Even though I did not show it or talk about it I did check that bearing and all others. I only replaced the obviously worn bearings. If I ever have to replace the auger shaft bearing that's an entirely new project for another day. But for now she is working great!
Would a crowfoot wrench help?
I don't know, maybe, i didnt have any to try it out. It's just a really tight space.
@@woodtickgreg6926 Or maybe a stubby wrench or stubby ratchet?
I just installed these bars on my 2022 T-100 today. It was nearly impossible to get any sort of wrench on the nuts. Blood was shed in the effort. But, I ended up using a pair of angled long nose pliers to hold the nuts and that did the trick. Once I figured that out is was a half hour job. They are nice bars for sure. I didn't have to do any grinding. Everything fit very well.
I totally agree with everything you said, I owned a GS and then a Tiger 1200. Great bikes, but not very engaging. I now have a Bonneville T120 Black and absolutely love it. It does everything you need but with style.
