- The Man Cave has a new visitor!
It is a 2019 Triumph Street Triple RS. A great bike. This is owned by my friend Harrison. The reason it is in the garage is that we are working to get it back on the road after an incident that damaged the right side of the machine.
In this VLOG I attach a set of Triumph approved Bobbin's to the swing arm, and then get the bike up on a Paddock Stand, so that we can hopefully soon begin our work.
AND, you get the benefit of on of my favorite "hacks" on getting a bike up on the stand by yourself. Hint, it involves a small piece of wood.
Items mentioned in this VLOG;
Triumph Street Triple Bobbins; P/N A9640083. Note these bobbins should fit all of the street triples, but double check at purchase as there may be some differences over the model years.
Constands Motorcycle Paddock Mount; www.constands.com. I love this combination dolly/stand! - Auta a dopravní prostředky

Garey, it'll take a bit of artistic work but, you can buy some carbon fiber cloth. There's all sorts of weaves that you can chose from as well as thicknesses. Once decided, sand each side of the broken piece. You'll want to use 30-minute epoxy (this is the easy way but there's also resin that's specifically for carbon fiber and fiberglass). In this case, I think I'd mix up the 30-minute epoxy in a small tub such that you can dip the cloth into the epoxy and totally "soak" it. You don't want it dripping but you don't want any dry areas on the cloth. Put some epoxy on the remaining parts of the broken exhaust and then lay down the cloth and shape it pulling it taught. Use a small paint brush to smooth it out and take up the extra epoxy. It takes about 24-hours for the epoxy (30 minute) to cure.
I will say that this is not a do it right the first time thing. You may want to practice "off bike" first so that you get the idea. It's not the most elegant but, we follow the 100/100 rule. At 100 feet away and 100 miles an hour, you can't tell it's not perfect! Try a couple of times practicing before you do the bike. You may even be able to 3D print a partial mold if you have access but there are more steps there. You could even remove all the carbon fiber cap and mold a new one. We use this technique with composite model aircraft. Again, practice makes better. :)
Hey, hadn't thought of an actual repair/re-glass on this Scott, nice input here. I have repaired many surfboard "dings" in my time....so not entirely unfamiliar with the concept of working with woven materials and epoxies. This might be our fallback position to salvage what is left of the exhaust here! Thanks so much!
