On a bike, there isn’t actually that much paint on it so you could probably get it resprayed any colour you like for a few hundred pounds.

 

If you were to change

I'm strongly considering this or a vinal wrap. I'm buying a new street triple and the colour schemes are awful.

 

I have a Matt one, no issues at all. Fitted keyless filler cap, evotech tail tidy and radiator/oil cooler, heated grips, led blinkers, several carbon parts, aluminum brakefluid reservoirs, led headlights, … Uhm… probably some more, for luggage I use a tank bag (on a ring, so free from paint) and the saddlebag from Triumph. For me enough room to go on a trip for two weeks. So, bottom line: get one. Don’t worry about paint, you can always wrap it!

 

To answer your original question's option B...
A bit unusual but I don't actually like so called tail-tidies, but neither did I like the rather agricultural steel plate hanger of the pre '16's so I managed to fit the plastic one from later models (not as straight forward as I'd hoped) complete with the Triumph accessory LED indicators.


At the other end I went the retro round headlight route - with a modern twist.


And Triumph don't miss an opportunity to stick their name on something.




Probably illegal but I couldn't resist ...........


I've added switches next to the instruments to disable the above "feature", enable DRL only, and add hazards (Triumph decided we didn't need them for a number of years), plus fitted a Healtech gear indicator. It's now full behind that flyscreen.
I think I've got more pleasure from making my 94R a bit different rather than just going down the dealers for the latest model. Existing power and handling is already better than me, so don' feel the need for more.

 

Yes, they're not cheap are they! (but pretty good quality)

 

I have the matt one and haven’t had an issue at all BUT I managed to get all the bodywork from a white rs for £200 all in on fleabay!
I didn’t get the tank as it didn’t have the pump (so I couldn’t be bothered to change it) so you can have the both black and white pretty easily as it doesn’t take 30 mins to change it all.
Ps, for the tank, I bought a bagster cover in white so it'll be all white if I want it pretty quickly!
Nothing bad has happened with matt black though as I clean it with just wet-wipes type thing and don’t get all rubbing it with cloths etc.

 

Yup!

Great tail pack, I foolishly gave mine to the buyer of my 2017R,,now been trying to find the same for my 2019s,,i bought the held iconic medium tailpack, great quality but just a wee bit smaller than I expected, should have gone large,

 

Had my Speed R Matt silver for 4 years / 12k, ridden all year round.
The Matt cost seems pretty tough, washed with the usual Muc-off, snow foam and pressure washer from a distance, which I’ve done with all my bikes. If anything it doesn’t show as many scratch or scuff marks as a gloss finish.
All my bikes have used tank lock ring bags, magnetic tank bags always scratch.
For the knees I use knee grips anyway, so no issues of wear there.

 

Never had a problem with alarms myself and always had them fitted for years on different bikes, had an RS with the S4 fitted with no problems and have one on my Tiger that works fine.
That said, if you do want to remove the alarm, it's a 30 second job ,so I wouldn't worry about it either way.

 

Have you ridden it ?
I’d be interested to hear how you think it compares…
Hope it works for you. Private or via dealer ?.

 

When is it being delivered Dawsy ?
