To Speed Triple or not Speed Triple

[davebullet]

I can't get it off my mind. Counting down the days!

There's an idea. I haven't checked if the pipe ID / OD is compatible. You said you were missing a bracket, but it looks like there are 2 in the photo? Is it just one bracket per side?

Triumph lists different part number for Street R (ZA9600200) and Speed (ZA9600290). Doesn't mean they are different.. but I'll poke around a couple of websites and find out.

I could definitely be keen.

The hanger/strap that wraps around the muffler, it's what this bolts to, look behind that bracket in the pic and you JUST can see the steel bracket??? it's that one, nothing more than a folded/bent bit of steel... not hard to remake with a vice and a drill etc...

But hey not using then any more.. so yeah willing to talk etc....

Here she is. <1km on the clock outside Motorad. Everyone looking as you ride off. Bloody fantastic!

Camera does not do the blazing orange justice.

Congratulations, Sir!

Cool man, though there is a few things NEED changing. Pillion pegs, pipes, the license plate hanger thing. Otherwise very very cool. I wants one.

Yup - the pipes are in the mail:

... and I'll remove the pegs and fill the holes. I'm not going to do a tail tidy. Although they look good, too much shit can get flung over the back seat.

(PS: I don't know why the image tags aren't working. Has SpankMe been playing "site upgrade"? )

I've already fitted the radguard radiator guard... and nearly squished one of the horn wires in the process refitting the bolt - dumbass.

The progrip tank pad is already on too.

Nice pipes, damn expensive though.

True. Will cost $2,000 landed (assuming I get stung for GST as well).

The arrows are about that if you can get them discounted.

The only problem is I ordered the wrong midpipe... the demo model has a different midpipe and header connection than the one I got.

The 3 into 1 jobbies are a lot cheaper but they don't look the part IMHO, they cover up the rear wheel.

I have my eye on a MIVV 3-into-1.

Like the look and the price.

Nice bike DB. Got mine from them in June,awsome bike . I imported a Leo Vince low pipe and love the looks and sound. $700 all up, includes freight and GST. I also took the Ohlins shock of my previous bike and sent it to CKT to be reconfigered to fit the Speedy, $800 to do that. Loving it even more now.

Where abouts is a good place to find one of them?

[ernie953]

Got mine from Motovation,Texas, $359 US.

Congrats on the new bike. Looks very nice.

I like your choice of new pipes too - black pipes go well with the black engine IMO.

I plan to "speed" up my street triple next weekend. I'm switching over the throttle tube to one from a speed triple. Perks things up a bit apparently (less movement from closed to full open). Just a shame it won't also supply all that lovely speed triple torque I hear so much about.

Congrats Dave and it looks great!

What a bloody shame about that different header though. I wonder if they've added SAI to the bike as well.

Where did you get the radiator guard from?
