How to fit a Tail Tidy to a 2019 Triumph Speed Twin

The new Triumph Speed Twin is a handsome bike as it comes from the factory, but, having now lived with it for a few weeks, I've decided the long plastic tail end has to go! In this video I attempt to fit a new tail tidy from the nice folks at TEC bike parts.....now I don't have a great track record doing this sort of caper, will this one prove more straightforward than the R&G one I recently fitted to my Honda CRF?

Nice video, I've just changed the plate holder on my Speed Twin yesterday but I choosed the FreeSpirits option for two main reasons, I'm from Portugal, and the FreeSpirits model as options for many countrys plate screws configurations, and the other reason, witch I can see by your video that I was wrong, was the plate light use, The photos I saw didn't look like had that option. Overall both options are pretty much the same. The one issue I had was that I had to find a way to add the rear reflector, that's mandatory here in Portugal. The licence plate material is reflective so I don't understand the need for an extra reflector in the back, but well, it's the law here. The holder also has 2 screw holes in the middle where we can fit the reflector, but I had to ad a rubber spacer between the plate and the holder so that the screws head that would hold the reflector could have space. Cheers Edit: yep, I've checked TEC product page and in the photos there is no plate light installed, they should update those photos. That's one of the things that made me look for other options.

Wow, the Speed Twin has a whole new level of finish quality and looks amazing in person.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, when I was younger, and more skint. I laid out in sequence all the bits of a Ford Sierra cylinder head, values, followers, nuts, bolts in position. So they all went back in exactly the same hole . It's good to get it in the correct hole. These days I just have a PCP deal on a newish car, life's too short ! (more time to ride the bike)

Good choice going for the aluminum tail tidy 👍 once the gravel and road grit eats the finish off the underside you won’t have to be fighting the rust problem that comes with a steel one 😉. Sorry to hear about the tennis elbow. I suffered from that a few years back caused by running a hammer drill one handed. (Yes, if you’re going to dumb, you have to be tough.) Dr told me if I took care of it and did the PT it would be better in 18 months, or I could have surgery followed by months of painful PT and it would be all better in 18 months.....😳. I decided to just be extra careful and pass on the surgery 😜.

Ooh I didn't know there were after market versions - do send over if you come across any links....

Top job looks much more compact & tidy, you'll have Triumph ringing you to work in their engineering shop ay, those "star "shaped bolts that were troublesome are called Torx fasteners, it would pay to get a set of torx keys for future use. All the best 👍😎

The "star shaped things are called torxWorth going to your local hardware outlet & get a set. Allen key will bugger the heads as not a good fit. The tail tidy is a huge improvement on the original.

Torx are useful for removing buggered hex/Allen head bolts too.

Very helpful video. Definitely considering purchasing one of these kits, however I noticed that it doesn't facilitate the addition of a rear reflector, which will mean that I will not pass an MOT. Where can I stick a reflector!? 😭

Small one on the numberplate?

Starshaped screws are called "Torx". Tail tidy looks great

Hi TMF, how many miles on yours now? I picked mine up on the 2nd Sep and now sitting at 760 miles. I cannot get enough of the motor especially in sport mode which I had left alone up until this point in deference to running the new engine. Should be called giggle mode! I installed Thruxton R silencers and a Motone X pipe at 30 miles, which I have to say was a bit of a challenge, which gives a lovely deep tone and much cheaper than V&H silencers. Shock and forks to be done over the winter.

That looks better. Did I see a comment from you on a previous vid saying you have an X-pipe on that bike? If so, I'd be interested in a review.

Yes indeed it does...don't really have anything to review it against though!
