Arrow Cans R&g Tail Tidy

Check out Smoto for a tail tidy.

 

The R&G tail tidy will fit - but you have to swap out the indicator bracket for this one - https://www.rg-racing.com/browsebike/Triumph/Speed_Triple_R/2016/IAS0003BK/

It doesn't look that great to be honest, and after buying the bracket, I ditched the whole tail tidy and fitted the Evotech version instead (which in my opinion, is much (much) nicer).

R&G with high bracket



Evotech

 

I didn't think you'd like it - and I didn't put up with it for long.

The Evotech is excellent quality and feels precision made compared to the bendy R&G. Line everything up and the Evotech just pops into place.

My top tip is to make sure that you don't pinch the indicator and numberplate light wires as you do up the bracket, otherwise you're in danger of shearing them as it tightens up against the sub-frame. You may have to fit a new numberplate wire connector (depending on whether the existing one on your loom has been cut off) but that's included in the kit and you can use crimp-on bullet connectors.

 

No, the tail light surround is from here: http://www.carbonfbr.com/sp-16-pl

The link is to the 'plain' weave to match the Triumph carbon - they also do twill (to match the Arrow exhaust tips). My preference is to stick with plain and blend in, even though I like the twill better.

An OCD nightmare

 

I'm so sorry...I was only trying to help

Think of it as an investment - I've transferred all the bits from my old 2016 to my 2018, so it's extremely cost effective

I went for a few choice bits - rear hugger, chain guard, exhaust heat shield and the tail light surround. No need to smother it in carbon, because I think you can go too far.

 

Late to the party - looking for a tail tidy (2017 Speed R). As a dreary old man my concern with the Evotech is that the indicators are rather close together and somewhat hidden. The R&G does separate the lights and push them up where they're clearly visible to the idiot behind you - indicators are not a styling accessory, they have a function...could also point out that a rear reflector is a UK MoT requirement as far as I'm aware. Insurance might be invalid if the bike doesn't comply..? Just saying...

 

'..The Evotech is excellent quality and feels precision made..' Yeah well despite my misgivings, quality is an excellent argument...

 

I'm not sure what Richard Neale is disagreeing with in my earlier post, but having replaced an R&G, the Evotech is in another league - from both a quality and fitting perspective. I really like the way they channel they wires between the two halves and it all fits together and aligns perfectly.

Form over function maybe, but the LED indicators are nice and bright and possibly outweigh any concerns you have about them being too close together. There's nothing dreary about considering your safety

 

Good enough for me Mr. Triple, the Evotech it shall be - thank you, think I'm going to purchase the Evotech levers as well, looking at the prices of LSL and Gilles etc. they seem a bargain...don't seem to be able to source the Triumph ones for the Speed R..? Shame, had them on my Street and really liked 'em...

 

I have the Evotech and it is a QUALITY piece of kit... I think the R&G with high signals looks rubbish. You can always stick a reflector on for mot or use the ones which come with the kit ..

 

So which bit did you disagree with then Richard? It's your prerogative of course, but...

• We both think the Evotech is a quality bit of kit
• We both think the R&G with the high signal brackets (needed to clear the Arrow cans) looks rubbish

I'm perplexed

 

It's strange how Triumph chose not to make levers available for your Speed Triple. I bought 'eBay' ones for my 2016 R and thought they were great...until I put the stock levers back on and they felt miles better.

ASV are a good choice - you've probably already looked here.

My vote would be Evotech and save on the combined postage

 

I was told by a dealer that Euro 4 had played havoc with international homologation of parts and many accessories had been withdrawn...???
