So true! As my mother would yell “are you always gonna learn the hard way ?”As Clark W. Griswold says, "It's all part of the experience."

Excellent!Just got the manual! I’m going read thru it all and get all the right tools!
I got an impact hex driver to whack and loosen the bolts. I got a steel rod to hammer and smash the strip hex down into a tight shape. I’ll then I’ll bang a hex into it and try that. Looking to get on that today.Did you get this out? You won't be able to drill into the extractor; it's too hard and the drill will just walk off into the screw material. Sometimes you can find a torx bit that can be hammered into the socket and get a bite. As a last resort, you could try cutting a slot in the head and use a straight screw driver bit on it, or drill the head off and take the cylinder head off over the shank of the screw.
Really??? I saw them going for 250 on eBay for my modelBy the way; A FACTORY Triumph dealer workshop manual is right now listed on EBay for an opening bid of $49
Tig weld a nut on that head bolt and take it out that way!Update! Got a new job tig welding aluminum starting tomorrow. So right now I’m going to order a new chain! I’m not gonna be cheap about the chain! Do you have recommendations for sourcing a good chain for the tbs? After my first paycheck full of over time I’m going to order the eBay engine! So excited to get on the road // commuting on bicycle In south Florida is not fun
I worked as a mechanic in a "monster mega mall o'motorcycles" dealership here in Detroit. At the time they sold Hon/Yam/Kaw/Suz, plus Bombardier, Moto Guzzi, E-H, Cagiva/Ducati and Triumph plus snowmobiles and watercraft. They dropped all but the Japan stuff, so a factory Triumph workshop manual for all of the Hinckley models "came my way"Really??? I saw them going for 250 on eBay for my model
Don't wait!!! Place a bid!- will be the best money you ever spent on your bike! I also have a "Haynes" manual for the Hinckley triples and fours- OK, but nowhere near as much info as the factory one.I worked as a mechanic in a "monster mega mall o'motorcycles" dealership here in Detroit.

This is good to hear! Wasn’t excited about welding multiple nuts on this screw in the house hahahaI had similar problems and used a hand impact tool with easy hammer taps broke them loose. Even the one I stripped a bit came loose.
Good luck.
I also use Hermy's for OEM stuff. Deliver fast and reasonably priced on shipping.
