The 2017 series and up Triumph Speed Twin Shocks bottom eyes on are actually very easy to slip a stock Yamaha shock bushing into. All you have to do is press out the stock bushings of your old Yamaha shocks with aid of a lube or soapy water and turn the rubber down to approx .635 /.640 dia.
That bushing does retain a cushion of the original rubber which I will YamaBond in there
Turning down the rubber took a in house insert mod. Then the rubber peeled off nicely .. few pics.
High hopes for Triumph shocks !
More Triumph Shocks made it "slowly" via USPS to my 78E today. This pair is off a 2018 T120. Chrome top trim rings look very original Yamaha like. Again the black springs look great! I will duplicate my previous bushing mod to get this pair mounted soon after the 4th holiday weekend.
Rear rack test fit went well. Together, the shocks & rack will really compliment each other.
Front end of the 78E will be SR500 double disc'ed as the 79F was. I will be using the stock brake line junctions by utilizing double length banjo bolts under the triple clamp.
