Hello Fellow Triumph Bobber Fans,
I just recently picked up this 2019 Bobber Black and I will admit this my first Triumph motorcycle I have ever owned. Maintenance seems pretty straightforward like other parallel twins I’ve owned in the past but is there any maintenance jobs that you guys have found hard to perform? Also here are some pictures of my new bike.

It's a tight bike. Lots of fiddling about, depending on what you're trying to achieve. Rest assured, you'll be well taken care of on this forum what with all the knowledge on tap. And welcome, you look to be off to a good start.

Thanks I appreciate the hospitality and definitely look forward to sharing information with you all as well.

I've had mine almost completely apart. It is pretty tight as Donner mentioned. Lots of stuff in not much space. However it's all pretty straightforward, no real surprises. Unless you're making major modifications it's an easy bike to work on. Oil changes and what not, super simple. Mine has been really good. Bought it new last year and I haven't had any problems at all.

Welcome to the club. Enjoy it!

Thanks MoxyDave, I appreciate the response. I did realize already the cleaning and lubing the chain will be more difficult than motorcycles I’ve had in the past but I hope the Tirox 360 degree brush I just bought will help with that.

Well, you could install a belt drive conversion like I did and never have to think about that again

Ya I just finished looking at the Kit to include the installation instructions and it will have to be a project for after I finish College.

Hi Bob, welcome from South-West Germany. Would like to have the V&H exhaust but no more available. Ride safe!

Hi and welcome!
What sort of stuff are you stuffing into that small swingarm bag? Is it only big enough for registration/papers or can it fit a small toolkit?

can fit a small toolkit not sure on papers but should be able to….only 2-3L capacity.

To be honest, there is nothing in the swingarm bag currently since there is not way to lock it. I might put a small tool roll in there that I can take out whenever I stop but I might also replace it with a lockable one so I can keep my registration and insurance information in it. Still undecided at this point though.
