I'm here in Phoenix with the Triumph Trophy.  Just got back from a 300+ day, and just getting back to the condo, heard the tell-tale grind of a rear brake pad that's past it's prime.

I'll call the two Triumph Dealerships in the morning, and see who's got the rear pad set for the Trophy.

I had just had the rear wheel off not long ago for a tire replacement and seemed it was okay..   Oh well...

Now I just need to see if I have enough tools with me to pull the rear wheel.  I *think* I do.

Ugh.....

That said - the Condo assn probably doesn't want me changing the brakes in the garage.  Does anyone have a garage they can open to me tomorrow sometime, or Saturday, for just long enough that I can get this done?  I'm at Central/Camelback.

Rusty.

Much thanks to Arizona Superbike!!  http://azsbk.com/

They got my Trophy in at my appointed time of 2:30, and I was out the door by 3:30.  

The mechanic took his time, cleaned up the rotor a little, and got me going - for under $100 parts & labor.

I'm back at my flat, posting this while sipping champagne and watching the palm trees in the breeze.  

Yes, credit cards (well cash, whatever  Wink ) much better than Labour!   Bigok
