Speed Twin Radiator Grill

Tosgha · May 22, 2021

Just a very small thing that maybe Speed Twin (and maybe other triumph owners) are not aware of. I took off the radiator grill to have a look at the condition of the fins behind the grill and just to give everything a brush down. Behind the grill in each corner of the grill are little black rubber pads that act as a divider between the grill and the radiator. They are only attached via a tiny sliver of doube sided tape and could (and did) easily fall off and you might not notice. I only did because one out of the four was still attached and the others were on the ground.

Had the same experience when I swapped mine for an Evotech version which has little rubber stand-offs that fit into the grille.
Still not sure if I like the more modern look, or the way the guard wraps around the sides of the rad, but still can’t fault the quality and fit etc.

I glued the pad back on the original rad grille but you’re right, the sticky tape has lost its stick on all those little rubber squares.

Nice! Looks like it will do a very good job.
