Speed Twin Bling

I was toying with the whole "black on black" thing when I got my bike but for now I'm sticking with the factory silver and black(I have the all black tank). I may convert in another couple years, we'll see. I really like the stock look sans license plate holder.

I've seen accounts of the stock aluminum heel guards failing and cracking at the bolt holes. If that happens to me I'll probably switch to these black carbom fiber types.

 

I looked at the heel guards too as mine are now getting marked but the other stuff is a bit too bling for me and goes away from the original principle IMHO.

 

I put the brushed aluminium motone chain guard on which looks ok. I have the same in black unused and still in the packaging if anyone wants to make an offer. They were £50 new.

I have some rsr stuff on my speed rs and it's definitely good Quality and made well.

 

RSR moto carbon fiber fenders; Nitron shocks; Vance & Hines silencers; Hepco & Becker C-Bow/panniers; TEC tail tidy; British Customs headlamp ears; Triumph headlamp bezel

 

Bike looks awesome, very smart. Have triumph fixed the squealing brakes?

 

To the best of my knowledge Triumph never addressed the squealing brakes issue. I was told by another Speed Twin owner to use both the rear and front break...5,000 miles later the squeal is almost non-existent. Perhaps the pads needed to bed in.
