Mate I won't lie I wasn't massively sold on the looks of the Trident when it first released, but seeing yours in black and with a bit of work done has really changed my mind. The bike looks absolutely LUSH with even just what you've done so far. Brilliant.

Had my trident for14 mos now. Running great, no complaints. I like the idea of coating the back of the license plate.

I really like this bike. I can see why you bought it. I bet the engine is really tractable. The quick shifter is the only mod I would want. Along with the protective film for the dash. That's a great idea for a tenner.

Of all the bikes out there, keep coming back to this bike!! Love the looks triple engine ect thinking of trading in my tracer 700!!

Looking forward to seeing maintenance costs and reliability over time. Never really been into Triumphs, but, this and the Tiger 660 are very appealing prospects (read: seems like Triumph has done their marketing homework).

Mirror protector:✔️, I'm using round bar-end mirrors, just got the seat uprated with better foam underpinning & neat lining/sewing. Definitely great run-thru, ta Bob🤙😊👍

Spot on mate ! Writing these down (figure of speech :p) you've got a great thing going on with this channel, very good stuff. God bless mate!

Loving your Trident videos - had mine for a week, same colour and same extras as you apart from the mirrors. The Quickshifter is a lovely piece of kit, heated grips are good, comms for the Sat Nav and USB. I liked your idea of blacking out the white backing on the number plate, did that this morning and I'm looking at the bolts for the passenger peg removal now. Thanks and keep up the great work! A few more miles to go and I'll be run in... Edit: I've also fitted the TEC levers today, great service from the boys & girls in the North. Two days to arrive, less than 30 cautious minutes to fit. Very good quality and big improvement to functionality!

I ordered mine with a non-refunable $750 deposit here in 'Merica. It will arrive at the end of April. After break in I am going to get rid of those pillon pegs as you did Mr. Moto Robert. Looks so much cleaner. I ordered Sapphire Black and I am going to the dealer tomorrow to see one in that color that they are delivering this weekend. Bloody Hell !!! I will put some vinyl tape under the seat to help keep the chit off of the underside. Should be a fun, little coffee house runner for me.

Those break levers were a "must". Looks sharp.

Great video! Your product descriptions are very informative. If I may make one suggestion? Back in my motocross days when riding in adverse weather conditions. I would wrap the brake/clutch levers with medium/heavy grit skateboard tape. Not only will this enhance riding ability, It’ll also cover up those cheesy logos. Thanks, and happy riding!!

Tasteful mods as always! Bike is looking great! I did black vinyl behind my plates too, thanks to your old street twin video.

Man ,been waiting for the trident videos ❤️ From India

Love these mods and agree about the Tec levers. I’m going to cover the back of my plate in black vinyl as well, looks much better!

Practically my ideal mods to perfection!

Three things i would change, Proper rear mudguard ,Triumphs now throw crud everywhere instead of oil. Proper front mudguard {not long enough}. Plus get rid of the scaffolding for rear pegs {seen you done that}.

Thanks for the mention on the dash protector AND the coupon code! I was pretty worried about finding a dash protector and I couldn't find one in the states. Just order a couple today. Great video, THANK YOU!

Thank you. I tried to find the size for the mirror plugs everywhere. I am really glad you talked about the size and the fact that they are both clockwise!

Thanks for the info MotoBob and I think the mirrors will have to be a must buy. I bought the Trident with the red radiator guards which I couldn't live with so I painted them a Matt black along with the 2 x exhaust covers and I am now so happy with the look of the bike. I would add a photo to this comment but I do not know how.

You nailed the mods, I'm with you on all of them. Also that matte black looks so good. It would be nice if the my triumph app used the stock Google maps to get some of the built in functionality. It's only software, so it's just an upgrade away if triumph ever want to make it happen.

Hey, thanks I'm in the US and thinking of buying the Triton, keep the videos coming. Thanks again.

Thanks BOB! Was waiting for this video :)

Definitely get the heal guards and gear, rear brake levers and exhaust heat shield powder coated.

Great video! Do you use your quick shifter all of the time? Is it a worth while upgrade?

Looks great, very reasonable mods that make a big difference looking forward to seeing what sort of exhaust options come out

Still waiting for mine to arrive in Greece. Silver paint scheme. Thanks for the Monimoto idea. I’ve bought one and thought it wouldn’t fit under there. Great video as always.

Found the heated grips to be excellent. Much cleaner look than having Oxford grips and the control unit, they get pretty hot I only been able to use it on lowest setting . Like how it comes up on dash too

When you get a chance check out some tail bags if you can find some that might fit, might have to wait for the aftermarket though

Put a deposit on a trident this morning. Really exited to go ride it. Been looking for one for nearly a year now. These mods are all sounding pretty cool. I come from cruisers where even the standard equipment here would be extra or unavailable. I might have to check out that bluetooth connectivity option and quick shifter

Just subbed. Ordered tft screen cover and a tank protector as the triumph one is big thick and expensive . Thanks for the link. Those blanking plugs are bit pricey.

Got my Speedo angels tft screen cover and a tank protector too. Excellent products clear instructions ,comes with all the cloths squeegy blade etc . went on easy and the tank one is almost invisible so doesn't spoil the look of the tank. thanks for the recommendation.

It took me ages to find the blanking plugs for the 'old' mirror sockets but I did eventually. They're by Evermoto. M10 Blanking Plug. (I'm sure other manufacturers/distributor do them, but these are the ones I found if anyone else is struggling to find them.

Would love to hear a comparison with your street twin as I’m split as to which I prefer ? Great videos 👍

Great and safe riding 👍. Look forward to buying one once launched in India

Such a nice bike. One of few that look good at any angle.

Just ordered a Trident in the same colour & will be shamelessly copying a lot of your mods here, so thanks a lot :-)

Nice description of your add-ons so far Bob. The quickshifter and heated grips are in my view the most desirable of the higher priced extras which I'd definitely spec if I was buying a Trident. I find the Triumph heated grips perfectly adequate, they're the same as I have on the Speedmaster and on a Tiger 900 before that. One thing that several people have mentioned which I find a bit odd - luggage. Clearly the Trident is not designed as a tourer or luggage carrier and even if fittings are available from Triumph or aftermarket, surely it would ruin the appearance of this great looking bike. Why would you buy a Trident if you need to carry a lot of stuff for touring or whatever? Similarly for pillions. There are far better bikes for these purposes from Triumph or other makes.

Another option for the mirror holes is ram mount balls, they don't look as clean, but give you a LOT of funtionality

This Triumph looks great , so much more like the original Steet Triple. Only thing is the single headlight ,is there a conversion kit to twin round headlights. 😎👍

Nice review, nice subtle changes. I love to get away from all tech when I get on my bike - too many distractions. All the shit that is in my car, I definitely don’t want on a bike. I just want to ride - definitely not answer phones or listen to music. Isn’t that why you have good sounding pipes

I think you’ve chosen the best mods. They are definitely what I would have chosen.

Thanks for this video. Very good! New subscriber here. I ordered one of these almost as soon as they began taking orders. Sadly, thanks to the pandemic, I now have no idea when I can take my training and tests. As a result, I’ve cancelled it. It’s senseless having it sat there for months when I can’t ride it. But I will certainly revisit once I can get some test dates later this year. I went for the same factory accessories as you, except the quick shifter. I was thinking of adding that afterwards. I also added the flyscreen, as it tidies up the back of the clock.

I’m very tempted to buying one of these. And I was going to go for the same colour scheme 😂. I’ve seen some negatives about the Bluetooth connectivity, might take a trip to the dealers and see if they can show it to me working.

Love your channel and reviews. Was just curious as to what paddock stand you are using? Like the industrial clean look of it. Also very keen to see a riding review of the new Speed Triple in due course.

Those Triumph bar-end mirrors are brilliant - got them on my Street Triple. Much bigger/better view than the third party ones.

Late to the party but great vid. Remember where you got the bar end mirrors from? They really finish the look off!

Keep doing matey. You make me want to go out and get one! Although I've just bought a ktm 790 adventure R

Bike's looking 👌 - fingers crossed for some decent weather soon so you can get some good rides in!

The bike looks great and your videos are fantastic.

Great update, liked the speedo and mirror protection suggestion. Any chance you can add link where you got your paddock stand?

I’m going to be really boring and just keep it stock other than maybe the quick shifter, remove pillion pegs and those TEC levers you have. Great little bike.

Would be interested to know more about your garage security please? The horizontal bar at the start looked interesting.

I'd go style over function. Tech things ain't me so I'd have gone for fly screen, belly pan, grab rails etc. Are you enjoying the bike?

Functionality mods are always the best. Especially when you ride all the time.

Curious to see what kind of windscreens we get for this bike

mine is on a slow boat coming across the pond.. can't wait.

Aftermarket exhaust would be great when it comes out

can't wait for exhaust to this bike

Great video! Just wondered how easy the tec levers were to install for the brake and clutch? I’ve got a pair ready to go on but worried about making a hash of it....

Love triumphs and love this trident.

just put a deposit on same bike with same options as a coincidence :) looks a great buy and with 10k service intervals etc nice nice find with the dash protector, ordering one up ! great tip

I'd use the mirror mounting holes to mount aux lights.

Looks great MB, I have the same problem, with my F900R. Cant get the accessories due to it being a brand new model. Maybe next year we will have more choice mate. The joys of being a trendsetter right? Lol

So we have two bikes in the middle class.....Triumoh Trident 660 and Honda CB 650 r neo sports cafe....both are worth of considering...boths have advantages and disadvantages. I like both of them..They are the winners in 600-700 cm.

Hey, I’ve been reading some negative reviews on the connectivity module - things like it won’t always connect and has problems with newer phones. Have you had any problems with it?

Nice mods. Looking good.👍

What is the paddock stand you're using, and is it available in black??

I did not see the links to your modifications. Did you list them? Great review.

Even with nothing added, i think it's a great looking bike! Trying to think of a good reason why i shouldn't have one.

Nice touches mate. 👌🏼

Amazing video really hope i can get one of these for myself (with similar mods tbh). Now i know we have seen this bike before and there are pictures everywhere but i think i would be a bit better if we could see something like before and after the mods in the video(just a quick photo etc). Still, great content.

Cool mods mate! Any ideas for a tail tidy / relocating the indicators and number plate to get rid of the hugger?

In Oz we get the power restricted version of the Trident. Think you refer to it as A2 in UK. I'm curious to see how this affects sales or not, in regards to registration red tape etc. Not sure if this topic has been addressed as yet and that this segment of bike is great for anyone. Thanks 👍

Yo dude, bike looks great man! Any tips on removing the fork reflectors?

Another interesting video!!! 👍

This is an awesome and super helpful Video... Thanks Rob... Definetly getting some of these mods on my bike... Which version of the Tec Brake and clutch lever did you get... because there isn't one specifically for the Trident? Is it this one... 'TEC CNC Alloy Adjustable Front Brake & Clutch Long Lever Set - Water-cooled Models'

Nice mods .. great looking bike, has a bit of everything, retro to modern .. on my list to buy 👊

Very sensible mods. 👍

Looking good! Have you seen the Bennetts bike cleaner test? Never thought about doing that to the plate! I'm off to get my vinyl wrap right now!

Beautiful bike. Is bike theft an issue where you live? I saw the antitheft device at the beginning of the video. Cheers Bob.

Try permanent marker pen for the logo on levers... Initially it will seem highlighted, a bit...but with time, it'll settle in...

Thanks for your very helpful video. I have ordered the same bike and color, but without the bluetooth option. What's your thought on bluetooth GPS vs phone with quad lock ?

You should hide the tracker somewhere a little more discrete. Some areas of Bristol itself are pretty bad for motorcycle thefts, I think it's second after London. Check out Bristol Bike Theft Awareness facebook, that gives you a rough idea of where is a bit dodgy. The smaller towns and villages outside Bristol are alright, just don't give them a chance.

Bike looks awesome. Some food for thought with the mods. It’s just released here in New Zealand this week. What top speeds are you getting if you don’t mind me asking?? I ride a lot with Harleys and bigger engines. Will the bike be struggling to sit around the 140 kmh for longish periods??

Evotech tail tidy on there will look sweet.

Love the bike, Thanks for promo code, ordered clock face Protectors. 🤟😎

i love this bike. best of 2021

Great video lovely bike I had my heel guards powder coated on my speed twin look 💯 better stay safe looking forward to more videos 🇬🇧👍

Great bike, good job sir!

You're in the UK, but a Tile works just as well and is a whole lot cheaper

Love this bike, and your mods. Here in AUS the Trident is only offered as a restricted bike - any thoughts on whether that would be a deal-breaker for a more experienced rider?

Nice bike for sure, enjoy your vids a great deal, keep up the great work and thanks...

Mine only arrived yesterday, but I’ve already changed the horn!

Besides intercom which I've no use for what good is bluetooth on that bike? No head stereo unit? . Seems to me B.T. ear buds and a phone Is all one needs ?

What about the Spark line of exhaust for the Trident 660 ?. They look pretty good, especially in black.

Hi Bob. I see that you have started the video with a good cleaning. In addition to the Matt finish, do you use any other product for the prewash that does not damage the paint of the tank? I just bought mine and I have doubts about what product I should buy to wash it.

Nice video and mods, fancying one myself but don't know if I fancy THE CB1000r Black edition instead, price of Triumph is excellent though.

Beautiful bike, If for me, there is only 1k difference between the trident 660 and BMW F900r. Which one would you recommend?

My Yamaha OEM heated grips aren't great either. It's a shame the Oxford ones don't look more OEM.

Amazing video !!
