Installing New Mirror and Grips! - Speed Triple Mods & Maintenance 1
Рет қаралды 4,138
Жыл бұрынLogging the replacement of the mirrors and grips on my 2007 Triumph Speed Triple 1050 with a glassless Motogadget M View and Biltwell Torkers. It's time to personalize this bike and document it through short form content like this.

The man with the magic voice, looks good Ill and to be honest, I've never looked at a bike and thought to myself that it would look better with different mirrors but ymmv. Since being hit from behind, in traffic to boot, I'll always have mirrors, trust nobody, seems it's more important to make tiktok videos rather than paying attention to the road.

Cool mini-update Illestrator, I am really liking the novel-manufactured mirror, ..all you need now are a set of some sort of oversized heatshields to go on top of the exhaust cans using their two in-can nuts (..phrasaing boosh! - 'Archer' style/reference)

I had no idea they made mirrors like that, that's awesome. Won't crack when something hits the other side hard, I gotta get these for my scrambler

Yeah these are usually put on custom bikes, I like the rizoma eccentrico mirror and this has the same style/size... But is wayyyy thinner

Man that bike is such a classic. Cool mods so far. As usual looking quite forward to your next video, whatever content you choose to do it on. Great, keep up the good work👏

Its looking fantastic! Motogadget also makes bar end indicatiors that I think would look VERY nice on your Triumph. They are called the mo.blaze discs and they work well with their mirrors and aren't too difficult to wire up. I recently got a 2007 Honda CB919 and nothing beats the late 2000s era of streetfighters. Definitely want to see a dual vlog with you on the Triumph!
@Jayneflakes Жыл бұрын
That was a nice little addition, but I would love to know how the mirrors do over a winter of riding? Ride safe and do think about fitting that second mirror, your streets look horribly busy at times. 😁
@blipco5 Жыл бұрын
My thoughts exactly. I nearly bought them for my z900 but I was/am afraid they’ll corrode or something and lose their mirror finish. They are nice tho.
@Theillestrator1050 Жыл бұрын
The mirrors come coated so they should hold up just fine but I guess we'll see how they do. Also it's my 5th bike with only a left mirror so Im pretty seasoned in that regard. I like that this mirror is so big and slightly dished that you can decently see around to the other side

@@Theillestrator1050 I’m the king of overthinking everything so I’m sure they’ll be fine. Just keep them as dry as possible and wipe clean any salt. During my overthinking process, a member of my z900 owners forum who I was communicating with who had just bought the Motogadget actually sent me a set of aftermarket cheapo mirrors he tried. They wouldn’t have been my first choice but for free, they are a massive improvement over the oem plus they fit the lines of the bike. I sent him cash despite his protestations.

tail tidy, exhaust, passenger pegs delete and maybe LED strip tailights or something, to clean the bulky looking rear end

Stumbled across those mirrors the other day and I think they are awesome and looking so cool. But 130€ each really does hurt your wallet. Knowing myself I think I'd still buy them if I build a cafe racer or something. Seeing them on your Triumph, they do look too nice. Also love these little short videos. Would appreciate more of them!
@Theillestrator1050 Жыл бұрын
They're pricey, but they manage to be about the price of comparable rizomas atleast lol... I got a little advantage though because i get RevZilla employee pricing which brings them down to $83 (78€) lol
