I took advantage of an unseasonably dry and mild spell to wake my T120 from hibernation. After applying GardX I took it out for the first run of the year along my favourite twisty road to the windfarm cafe.
I bought it just before Xmas so this was my first proper run. It handled the twisty roads better than I expected and had more than enough grunt.

Fitted a Triumph U-Lock mounting kit (A9810034) to my T120. This mounts my existing Triumph U-Lock (A9810023) on top of the gearbox behind the cylinders.
I normally carry a good disk or u-lock under the seat of my bikes but the T120 doesn't have room so this offers a solution which is reasonably unobtrusive.

What does the setup look like in use?
That IS a pretty hefty lock. Looks like great place to store it when not in use. Nice tidy install.
I had new tires put on last weekend. The shop kid didn't know what white walls were and thought I painted them blue to match the bike. He was asked to clean them after the mechanic installed and shat himself a bit when they started turning white. I told him that was just how they came, but the blue comes off with soapy water.... he was relieved.
Anyway, it's been unusually rainy here in California and haven't been able to ride. So I got around to giving her a bath and took a quick ride

It is fairly discrete on the left but a wee bit more obvious on the right. It is not noticeable when the lock is removed. It mounts using three existing threaded holes which have plastic blanking plugs as standard plus one of the starter mounting bolts.

I fitted a cockpit 12v accessory kit to my T120. This uses a permanently live standard DIN socket which will allow me to plug in my Optimate and a tyre pump,p. It mat also ge useful if I use powered accesseries such as heated gloves, sat nav etc.
The hardest part was locating the connector on the loom, it was well tucked away under the tank.

Great idea
Today I rode my T120 to a delicious corned beef, cabbage and potato lunch. Delicious! I did not have green beer as I never drink alcohol and ride. Happy Saint Patrick's Day.
