2021 Triumph Trident 660 // A guide to genuine Triumph accessories! 

Hi Kate, after being out of the biking scene for 6 years, having previous owned a Ducati Streetfighter, I had to go back into it. Had test rides on Ducati Scrambler 800 and 1100 and then a BMW RnineT but the best bike for me was the Trident as the value for money is excellent. Love the retro look with quality fit and finish. Went nuts on the accessories; Heated grips, belly pan, fly screen, bar end mirrors, quick shifter, tech pack, tyre pressure monitor. I love it. To me it looks cool in its standard black and its British. Recently attended the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride and got some really nice comments and looks. I felt guilty being so extravagant but then life is short so why not enjoy the things you really enjoy doing. Happy BH weekend to all you guys and gals out there. Safe riding and enjoy.

Spec: Heated grips, tank pad, connectivity module, quick shifter, USB charger. (In the dark/red/ big logo colours). 👍

The Trident is just cool..

Hi Kate 👋 So glad I found your channel, recently the likes of Missenden and lamb chops have became way to big for there riding boots and only ride premium machines and expect everyone to have 5 bikes in the garage. Loves that it takes a real northern girl to keep it on a level playing field. Great content and look forward to more

I really love this bike. Affordable and capable, I can see myself having a blast winding through canyon roads.

"give it a rev under the tunnel, of course". Love it !!! You are amazing.

Hi Kate great video told us everything we need to know got a trident about 3 months ago,first bike in almost 24 years,definitely got the correct bike even had some extras already on it like heated grips and bar end mirrors so easy to ride looks great keep up with excellent videos 👍

I did spec my Silver ice and diablo red with: Fly screen, bar end mirrors, bar end finisher, heated grips, tail bag, ubs charger, connectivity modules, TPMS, belly pan, tank pad, adjustable black levers, engine cover protection, fork protector, frame protector, scrolling led, paddock stand black and a cover.

Remember when bikes used to come with most things. Pillion handles centre stand etc..

Just subscribed. I'm a 70yr old and love this bike but haven't riden in 40yrs but it's never too late, who knows? I was loving the Enfield Interceptor but I think this has stolen my heart, size, weight, power all in the right ratios. Last bike I had was a Honda 550 Four K and this seems a similar performace and spec. I'll keep watching, wishing you safe travels and success with your channel.

Excellent video Kate.Really enjoyed that.Thanks for taking the time.

Nice Video, couldn't agree more who wants to be connected, that's the beauty of a motorcycle, just you the machine and the open road.

Triumph bikes are in a sweet spot at the moment, they are loved by most owners, and finding faults requires a magnifying glass (occasional Friday night specials aside) 🤣 thanks Kate ☺️👍🏽

Hi Kate, What I prefer to add to bike. The mirrors, the grab rails, the protection for engine and frontend. (and my secret wish the belly pan. Tryed so hard to get one for my Sprint RS 955,but could not get one). What I don't need connection with smart phone. Cause when I ride I do not play on mobile. Tracking device. Thiefs are not thumb, I guess they can examine an bike for after stealing when they know that such an device exist. If it's possible again visit Germany please whe have motor ways without speed limits and nice curvy roads with beautiful landscapes to. Regards from Germany and stay healthy. 🙋🏼‍♂️ BTW... Your videos are better and better. You raise quality of sound and cut from video to video. 👍

Every protection possible + connectivity and USB port would be my choices for that bike ! Thanks for the video !

As an expat originally from Manchester, I loved your ride, It bought back a few memories from years ago when I used to commute and travel around the Northwest, I'm looking to get a second bike for the Summer and the Trident is one of those models that fits what I'm looking for, i.e. A naked bike, mid capacity, and not too heavy. It's come down to the Trident or the CB650R I was on the Triumph site and yes after speccing one up It was heading north of 10.5k (10k is my top limit I promised my wife) so after cutting back on a few things I have as extras the following; Hand warmers (even in summer it can get cold after a day of riding) The machined bar mirrors, they look great, The USB charger, The quick shifter, Frame and Fork protectors, The Aluminium bellypan (Again looks great) The Fly screen (Mainly to stop a build of flies behind my clock rather than acting like wind deflection) Pillion Handles (I think they make the rear look nicer and they are useful for tying stuff on), and finally Paddock stand bobbins for chain maintenance> Comes to just a little over 10k.

When she went "rum... rum-rum" @ 3:05 That made me laugh a bit. So nice that a grownup girl can get a little silly sometimes. In the end, we're all a bunch of kids deep inside that wouldn't admit that we never wish to grow up. (Or maybe it's just me)? Yesterday i didn't have the time to watch the whole rev'. But the last part 11:43 when she makes that sound with her mouth/teeth was funny as well. I do that kind of thing as well, but if i look someone in the eyes, i do the "blinking with one eye" at the same time as the sound with the mouth. And the aluminium part, or luminum "to my amarican subs" was funny as well. Girl got some humor. Keep it up, and keep it coming Kate. Blessings.

Hello Kate, why on earth have I only just come across you! First watched your s1000rr videos now I’m hooked, love your outlook on things! Makes me smile! Keep up the good work (although it seems that comes natural)

Hi Kate, I am very happy managed to test ride and now a very happy owner of the Trident, it was only thanks to you putting your height and leg measurements that I knew I could ride this bike, I’ve had one ride out with Neil from Jewell training he’s a great guy and made me feel happy once again after so long off a bike. loved the whole experience including the staff at Blade Cheltenham . 🙏

Mithering. One of my favourite Lancashire words. 😎👍xx

Your time your space Lass , connect to no one ,until the bike packs up ,well said . have fun and stay safe .

I love your accent and your voice is so cute. I could listen to you talk all day.

Hi HRH Princess UNK, great little vlog as usual great quality you have great cameras impressive!..... Love the Trident in fact Iam a massive Triumph fan boy.... Or rather Triump fan grumpy old git 😂... Accessories wise I'd go for the heated grips, the rubber pads to protect the tank and the quick shift and that would be it for me ... Forget all that ridiculous connectivity nonsense what an absolute load of tosh.... Looking forward to your next Vlog I've absolutely no idea what the content will be... Even if its just watching the paint dry after you got you fella to emulsion your walls it will be must watch.... Anything goes on this crazy roller coaster channel you run Kate 😂🆗❤️ stay safe x

How can anyone give you a thumbs down. Another great vid, i like your style of presenting. Thanks Kate.

hi Kate Triumph Trident 660 Wish List and must have Heated Grips ,Quick Shifter ,Blipper ,Bar End Mirrors ,Tank Man Bag ,Possibly Fly Screen to cover Gauges ,Power Socket /USB Charger For Phone ,Then Ride in to the Sun to be with our biking Buddies Post Lockdown .

This bike gonna rock Indian Market . Price is very competitive and specs are OP under 8 Lac.

Hi Kate, I always enjoy a city ride with you, and weaselling your way through. That's a great list of accessories, delivered as only you can, with style and what a memory!

I just got a white Trident this past week and it's my first bike.

Mirrors, heated grips, quick shifter & fairing would be my essential accessories. I agree that the Triumph accessories may be pricey but it is good gear.

After going back and forth on all the options I would choose.. A small rubber duck sellotaped to the handlebars.. and the heated grips obv

Brilliant I've subscribed :) I once commented that your videos were too long at around half an hour but this one is right on the nail ~ interesting, well thought through and great touches of humour

Yea I think alarm, and heated grips should probably be standard , but a lot of the accessories are ok but would you really need them? Not sure, it looks good as it is.👍

Love the humility and humour in your reviews ,not too technical, any more info would baffle me. I did manage to change the valve caps on my bike once all by myself only took half a day. I ride a Fireblade but if I keep it much longer I will have to get a Stannah Stairlift fitted do you know anyone who does that modification?

Frame slider is a must and probably adjustable levels (I believe it comes with only one adjustable). Don't really care the rest.

Mine has heated grips, USB, connectivity and fly screen. Don’t get quick shifters at all, changing gear is part of the fun. They remind me of old people with automatic cars. (I’m 65) They don’t like fun. Like your videos, I had to look up mythering though!

Heated grips, after all, I'm in Canada. The side and engine protection, it gets windy in the fall.. and the connectivity module, so I can ignore phone calls, but run my GoPro with it. Possibly the USB charger and maybe bar mirrors, but I will ride with the stock ones first.

I ride an SV650 and the fly screen is a bit helpful on longer rides. Heated grips a must as well.

Loving what Triumph have done with this - really who needs more than this (and for those that do then what a great 2nd bike!... or 3rd 😁). Great review and info as always!

i popped in earlier on my sp1, had a good chat with craig and he was singing your praises. i told him i've been entertained by your vlogs etc. keep em coming :)

Another good video Kate. Crash bungs and Quick Shifter

What a great channel, brilliant commentaries about the bike, I also really liked the 360° camera footage. The Trident is a nice bike for sure!

Another great vid Kate. So what would I spec? Heated grips, quick shifter, retro mirrors, some of the protection like the engine and spindle, pillion grab rails, not to worried about connectivity as I have that in my helmet, alarm and possibly the tracker. Hope that helps! Ride safe.

Quickshifter, bar ends, scorpion can . Oxford heaters...

I just want a underseat number plate and indicators, it will sound trivial to some but that is the only thing stopping me buying the bike as I can't get over how it looks, hopefully someone will come up with something. Great video again.

I paid pretty much the same for my 2021 GSXS 750. I've since added a black widow blue tip....sounds ace, a tail tidy and bar ends. Looks ace. Surely we only work to buy bike accessories.

Great Vid Kate. Can’t wait until the next one. Stay safe. Cheers from Oz. D.x

beautiful !!, the bike and you :)

Heated grips are a must plus a fly screen.

Very good video with much information! Subscribed and many greetings from germany 👍🏻

I ordered one a couple of days ago (matte black, with the un-subtle logo on the tank). Ticking the accessory boxes from the main list for just what's actually useful, I got as far as frame protectors, tank pad, grab rails and USB charger (totals about £300). Then noticed on the Lind parts site that they were listing an OEM looking reach adjustable clutch lever that Triumph don't list in their configurator - asked the dealer, and it's the stock part from the Street Triple R that fits just fine, so added that as well (it's a lot cheaper than the full lever replacement kits - only £50). Thought about the bluetooth, but the nav only works with Triumph's app - and the app is awful, so gave it a miss.

Soon to be owner here (it’ll be ready on the 15th), and I went with the fly screen, for the little bit of added protection... but mostly to hide the hideous screws behind the dash, the heated grips because at -5°C, it becomes too much for me (I live in the French alps, and winters here can get pretty cold), the shifter, the USB power thing and the alarm, because I’d rather keep it from being stolen in the first place, rather than tracking it after the fact. I didn’t take the Bluetooth thing because the only aspect I was interested in was the nav, and it’s just terrible. In the mean time, I’m just trying to get my fix however I can. Take care.

Great vid as usual Kate. I’m riding a 2019 Triumph Bonneville T120, using it as a street bike and also long distance touring in the States. Triumph options/farkles are pricey but well made. Ditto for their clothing. I miss the UK!!! Let us back in please!

New subscriber here , upvote from me :-D A week or two back, for a giggle, I went on the Triumph website and loaded up a Trident with all the options possible. I think the total price hit £10,600 ! From Triumph I'd have the quick shifter, heated grips, maybe the Triumph alarm, and maybe the smart connectivity. i.e. the electro mechanical bits that work better if they come from the manufacturer. Some Oxford heated grips someone had fitted to a second hand Street Triple I had , they worked well, but the control panel looked naff, and it wasn't wired into the ignition, so it was possible to flatten the battery if they got left on. I think you can put on the bar end mirrors from the Street / Speed Triple or Thruxton/Speed Twin. They're a bit bigger, oblongish shape. I would get those, rather than the round Trident ones. Bar ends on my Triumphs are brilliant for seeing behind, but a bit naff with filtering, the oblong ones can be folded in. Not quite as bad for filtering then. As for the frame protector stuff, well I'd go for R&G or Evotech. Some trinkets from TEC bike parts (I think they're doing adjustable levers for the Trident). Luggage, well Oxford, Kappa, Givi or SW-Motech stuff. Bike cover and battery optimisers, Oxford again. Bike locks from elsewhere, Pragmasis, Abus etc. On those lot, quite a few are a lot cheaper because they haven't got the Triumph logo embossed on them !

Great video came across and will have to find your others..My Silver & Diablo Red is on order along with a Loooonngg list of extras😉..keep fingers crossed most will be on the bike when pick up (or 1st service at latest)..Heated Grips, Tracker+ , connectivity, Scrolling indicators, Engine covers you name it..A few things I think ut could do with - Radiator Grille, Fender extender, Rear Hugger am keep an eye on Iconic Parts & R&G see what they come out with. Originally think of a Scottoiler but cant see where it may go..Underseat lack of space - have to do chain lube myself!🤔-so a Paddock stand..Keep up the good work👍🏍👏👏

Wish everyone did this after reviewing a bike , great info ....well done 👏

I think I'd like a beautiful 23 year old accessory for the back myself. Great video - thanks!!

I’m with you on this one I won’t be getting connectivity as I want to be left alone when I’m riding but I will be getting mine this week and have ordered heated grips and will be getting colour coded fly screen which I think look cool. Great videos btw refreshing to get a female perspective on things. Keep up the good work 👍

kate are you getting sweet on the triumph , lol . my mods follow a pattern 1 total de cat a nice exhaust 2 a sport filter 3 a re map and a visit to my local suspension tuner

Hi Kate, I think I would have the fly screen and bar end mirrors crash pro section Belly pan and see if I could get ride of that thing around the back wheel and get a tail tidy if I can and a rear pack

Hiya, defo the Quick shifter , mini screen maybe, 👍 the bar end mirrors, it's a nice little all round whip! 👍Thanks & Cheers from NZ.

A question not for the bike,how are you finding the insta 360? I know the older ones seem to have a few problems, the picture quality looks good, I normally use go pros for the front area via but sometimes it's good to have side view. Would you recommend it?

It does look an awesome bike Kate I’m looking forward to riding one Triumph 🙏 Great video appreciated 👍

I bought a flyscreen for my street triple earlier this year. Cost 102 pounds. Fitting cost was over a 100, so I did it myself.

Kate, what a beauty! It’s exactly what I would have done, she is a real stunner! Have a lot of fun with her! Warmest regards Thomas

If I had the money, I would accessorise it to a speed triple rs! Great video Kate.👍

Hi Kate, I have a cb650f and got complete Shad luggage. Planning to do NC500 when i can this year. Thanks for the videos. Mark

Spec: Bar end mirrors, quick shifter & connectivity pack. I’d be happy with aftermarket heated grips & R&G crash protection. 👍🏻

I just want to say. You give the best review on this bike. It’s such a kraken bike. It’s just a brilliantly well made Motorcycle.

I bought the 2nd 2022 model sold here in North Carolina...I already snapped my clutch lever at the break off point...(don't ask how)...I love the feel of the short lever because I'm a two finger guy... anyone know where I can find a set of short levers for this bike... I'm really wanting to head up into the Blue Ridge Mts Tail of the Dragon soon!!!

I have the quickshifter, heated grips, all the protection and the Triumph technology

Great lil review Kate! I’d definitely go the heated hand grips even though I’m in Oz. Still gets cold apparently!🤭 Cruise IF it was an option? Quick shifter as I had it on my last 2 BMW’s. The tech stuff is ok if it’s included but not if you’re throwing money continually!👎🏼 Cheers & stay COVID free!🙏🏻😷🍻

Great vlog your so lucky to be riding the trident take care

Nice informative post Kate , thanks

I did spend an awful lot of money on my 2014 Bonneville SE and my Trident on order will stay stock excepting the foot pegs. Will use my new baby on fair weather only whyle the Bonnie can even endure riding in the snow.

Would go for the front wind deflector , heated grips, quick shifter, pillion handles And mirrors in the extreme of the handling bars. This would be enough for me.

I'm interested in this motorcycle. So you purchased this bike, or it's on loan to you? Also, are you keeping your motorbike in a storage unit? I wonder if a storage unit is good for a motorcycle. I guess I'm afraid to buy anything that's a new design out for the 1st year in case there's something turns out to defective with it.

Thanks Kate. Interesting video and well presented, as always, by you. The Trident is going to be a big seller for Triumph, I think.

I'd get the grab handles, not because I'd ever carry a passenger, but because the rear end is a bit stubby, and the handles make it look like a trident.

Tyre Pressure Explorer ,this make sense but how many gramm/stones are glued at the wheel for balance?

Great vid. I like the idea of connectivity purely for the turn by turn nav.... on that point, when your next on a bmw, could you do a demo of turn by turn on Tft please... I think it’s great the thought of not having extra mounts and navs bolted on. Thank you.

Cheers, Kate. Heated grips for me.

Spec sheet, heated grips, quick shifter, wind shield, usb and tank bag that should do it 😁👍

I was just able to sit on a Trident for the first time just this past week. I am a big guy and I was concerned that I might be too big for it. Surprisingly, I fit better than I thought. Except that the bike is definitely the shortest bike I've ever been on. I'm so close to pulling the trigger on buying one. The only reason I hesitate is just because luggage options aren't very good. I think in time, someone will come up with something more reasonable than just a tail bag or tank bag. I have never had a bike with a quick shifter/blipper before. I don't know what it is like to use one. But in my older age I have found convenience to be a good thing. So I would surely add one. A USB charger would be wonderful. I think heated grips would be a great choice. Never had them before. Aftermarket adjustable levers would be nice. I think I would pass on the Bluetooth connectivity but perhaps I would add that later on if I can justify use for it. I think I would add a TomTom or Garmin with a holder for it. I would love to have the fly screen. But I don't think it gives much protection for the money that you spend. I would rather hold out to see if somebody comes up want something a little bit better. I know that the boys at Tec bike parts will be coming up with lots of accessories for this bike. We shall see what else is available later. But these are my basic things I would want to have probably before I drove off with this beauty. By the way I do love the white color. I could see doing a wrap on the painted pieces to something like British racing green and white or some other color scheme. I love your channel by the way. It's great to see more ladies doing bike blogs. Your down to earth plain speaking is like a good conversation with an old friend. Cheers mate 🙏💃😁

At the moment, the heated grips and their alarm+tracker (if they're any good) but I think I'd wait to see if their range expands or what third parties come up with.

Hi Kate, new subscriber here. Just discovered your channel and its really cool to see somebody doing motovlogs in Manchester :) I'm just about to take my test and start riding (would have been riding for a couple months already if it wasn't for bloody Covid!) so I'll wave if I see you about. Love your videos - keep it up!

Booked my trident! Quick query..is the matte color better to go for or the gloss variants? Can matt be wrapped to protect paint? Pretty confused here!

Great video and content as always Kate, its a pity there is going to be no end can from Triumph for this model, just too release that triple noise, also looks like the first few miles of your commute are looking a bit worse for wear!.

10k views in 1 day!! I think a lot of people are interested in this bike. It is very appealing.

I would have the quickshifter/blipper, heated grips, bar end mirrors, fly screen & tank protection/all protection.

Great video and wonderful bike many thanks.

Great vid, made my day better 😆

they often cheap out on tires here in the states. what tires did the Trident come specced with across the pond?

Heated grip is not necessary from where I am. Full protection and safety for the bike and USB plus connectivity and quickshifter would do it for me.

Hi Kate, really enjoyed this video, great delivery & high quality video too. You also hv an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Trident accessories catalogue! I'd go for the flyscreen, safety gear, QS & heated grips, but only when there's an aftermarket rear mudguard available - I hate the standard look! On a side note, have you done the IAM Advanced Training? You certainly ride like you have, swift yet safe. And yes, I've just subscribed. 👍

Nice Vid Kate. Heated grips and a blipper please! Oh and that fancy logo paint job ta!

al-looo-minnie-um..... I like that! My wife likes saying it that way here in Oklahoma. She loves british culture too. I need to get her to listen to you to brush up on her Manchester.

Kate your brilliant keep up the good work 👍

Always heated grips for me as I don’t like wearing bulky gloves. Mirrors and tail tidy are usually next 😎

Great video Kate.

with my triumph 1050 tiger, I accessorize it with tech stuff from triumph. non-tech stuff Chinese stuff from e-bay works well for me and saves a bit too.
