    Hello everyone,

    I just passed my test on my 2007 1050 Speed Triple, and I would like to do some mods.

    I would like a single can exhaust, and really like the look of bar end mirrors and even these clip on bars...

    Does anyone have any experience with such mods? I would love to hear advice and feedback.

    My usage is all round, really. Bit of town, occasional longer distance thing, no track but some twisties around where I live...

    For reference, I am 6ft3 and 83kgs.

    I have some bar end mirrors off my 2008 model genuine triumph black alloy
    ones (NOT the round ones) . Unfortunately they don't fit my 2018 model .

    As for clip on's, For town and distance straight bars may be a better choice. Bar end mirrors, I fitted a pair to my XJR a few years back. Hello, what's behind me and goodbye to seeing just my elbows.
    I think 2 cans under the seat always look better.

    I actually just bought a speed triple, great bikes. Always wanted one. I have an explorer too.
    I have never fancied bar end mirrors, but i recently test rode a bike with them and to my own suprise really liked them. You can see way more than you imagine. I have twin underseat arrows on my speed and it sounds truly amazing. So those two,, yep mirrors and pipe will be good. I would not go near clip ons, the standard bars are fairly comfortable and make the bike a nice and easy to or flick about. Dont think you'll find either with clip ons on a speed...

    I am really appreciating the feedback guys. So the bar end mirrors are something I will try, exhaust TBD... and would love to have a go with the clip ons on a speedy.

    I find that I don't have the best posture on the speedy as it's quite upright. That's something I thought a lower handlebar would help eliminate.

    Also, I do love the way it looks with clip-ons.
