Hey folks, I've just brought my first Triumph, the Street Triple R 2011, in phantom black & gold. (No pics yet, its in desperate need of a clean) I've not passed my test yet so I've not ridden it, I'm going to have a mechanic check it over next week, give it a service etc. make sure its all good. After that, if there's no surprises or major work that needs doing, I'd like to start upgrading a few things, starting with: Chain & sprockets - I was thinking of the Supersprox Gold, X Ring Gold chain & Renthal front sprocket kit. Tyres - Commuting in all weather so need to be an all rounder? Tail tidy - I have dual under seat exhausts, and could do with new indicators and a rear light unit too, so maybe an integrated unit? Mirrors - Genuine bar end ones are too expensive..... Levers - Some gold ones If anyone has any suggestions? I already have aftermarket exhausts fitted, dual underseat Leo Vince GP's, and some carbon fibre heel plates. Just ordered the genuine tinted flyscreen and a cheap carbon belly pan that was being sold as a second for £65, had some lights scuffs which polished out quite well. Cheers
Get the suspension set up professionally unless you know what you are doing Levers - there is a mixed feeling with cheap Chinese ones on eBay. If funds allow then get a reputable levers Tires - ensure to get decent tires Bar-End Mirrors - Try 3 pistons Triumph LED indicators If you already have the exhaust, get Triumph dealership to install a map. They should cost you around £60. Pricing is different from dealer to dealer
