The silver tank stripe looks original. I would definitely keep the silver stripe. As for me, the clock dial upgrade just “fits” the Speed Twin, the tidy tale is nice, along with the black chain guard and the carbon fiber bits. The radiator guard is a necessity. You certainly picked a nice one. I’ve never thought to add a sticker to locate the air valve! This alone is simple, but ingenious. Most all of your simple changes are indeed fitting. Thanks for the overview.

@freeidaho-videos 2 года назад

Good information. I can say without equivocation, over time all tank bags scratch the tank, and the magnetic ones are the worst. Over their life, the magnets will pick up microscopic bits of metal, and scratch more. I'm currently looking into getting two tanks vinyl wrapped because of tank bag scratches.

@RocketMan_Moto 2 года назад

Yeah, I know. That's why I'd like to find some matte vinyl to protect the paint.

@RocketMan_Moto 2 года назад

Motone Customs use high quality 3M pads and they stick just fine, but beware of cheap Chinese knock-offs. Wipe the tank area down with some isopropyl alcohol first and let it dry thoroughly for a couple of minutes. Then, once you have put the pads on, try to fix a bungee cord or similar to press them firmly to the tank for 24hrs. All this may not be necessary, but it's what I did just to be extra sure and they are fine :)

@RocketMan_Moto 2 года назад

Thanks for watching the other videos. I agree the options are a bit limited: I think I'd probably go with the gloss black, which is a good base for any subsequent customisation. I wouldn't have bothered with the carbon black if I'd already got the gloss black, for example. I'm not a fan of the red or the orange, either. FYI, I was quoted about €350 for a tank wrap, which is 'only' half what it cost me to get the tank, side panels and headlight painted.

@@RocketMan_Moto Thanks! Yeah the cost (and reversibility) is really why I’d go for vinyl over paint. Unfortunately my dealer says there’ll be a long wait for a gloss black as the build schedule is set and they can’t guarantee when they’ll get another one in.

@@juliaherrera6514 Yes, I remember seeing that somewhere now. I have a great grabrail on my old thing, silly rule really as I've never come across any of those straps that are any where near usable.

What’s the best spot to hide the invoxia gps tracker? Under the seat feel secured but any recommendations.

How about frame sliders or engine guards?

Never really felt the need. If I drop a bike, I just spend the money of new parts rather than sliders, etc.

I get my Stealth Edition at the end of the month, I'm already eyeing up what I can throw money at and strap onto my bike.

The silver one looks better. How do you replace it? I took off the yellow, and it seems no coat under it.

I can’t help but think your magnetic tank bag is at odds with having a tank pad - especially if seeking to ensure the paintwork stays looking unmarked. And , for what it’s worth, I’d keep the original yellow stripe on the tank. 👍

I agree that having a proper windscreen is great when you're on the move, but I don't think the looks suit a bike like the Speed Twin.

@robbyclark6915 2 года назад

@@RocketMan_Moto I hear you about the looks. I’ve just grown so accustomed to one that it’s almost a necessity for me now…..almost. I would look for one of the detachable ones. It does look out of place at first, and nearly every bike looks better without one, but nothing can beat a windscreen when you’re blasting down the highway at 75 mph for an hour or more. Well, enjoy your beautiful bike.

Disappointed with Triumph if that's the 'best way' you can spend £425 to be honest.... they need to 'expand' there 'add on' catalogue :-) I thought Triumph did 'knee pad' protectors?

PS Who's TMF? :-) Forgot to say, I love your honesty and 'say it as it is' videos.
