^^Looking good man. Glad you got her back to proper running order. I remember the pics from after your crash.

Found this pic on my phone from my ride today. Any chance to whore out pics my bike

 

Thanks! Yours too. That must be a Sargent seat, it looks like? DO WANT. And it looks like you have aftermarket headlights; what did you go with? Major improvement? With the change in weather comes freaking dark at 5PM, so I'm noticing much more how shitty the Streety's stock lights are. Wondering what to do about them.

Excellent, thanks for the link. If you don't mind a couple quick questions: easy to install? And you still have high and low beams?

You are quite right about the angling. I actually just did that two nights ago, and it's a world of difference. Not enough, though. Too many freaking deer in DC, and I want to see them way before I get there!

They're extremely easy to install. All you need is a screwdriver.

Unplug the battery. Loosen the screw at the bottom of the headlight bowl, take the casing ring off. Then the glass lens comes off. Unplug the OEM bulb, plug in the new one. Button it up and you're halfway there.

Yes the hi/low beams are retained.

I think the new bulbs made a pretty nice difference...but, the whole lighting system on our bike still sucks.

 

Started the winter tear down.

screw winter, I hope to ride a few more times before I do my winterizing stuff.

 

+1 Its not that cold yet.

 

Just updated the tune on my bike with 20573 using TuneECU. It's essentially the latest TORS fuel map for Street Triples with aftermarket slip-ons. Going for a test-ride now to see if there is any noticeable difference from the previous map I had loaded, 20394.


UPDATE: The 20573 map update is recommended! Every new fuel map update continues to smooth out power delivery, from the first crack of the throttle til you wrap it all the way round! I say go for it! :thumbup:

 

survey says...

 

the suspense is killing me. :laugh:

 

put on a rear seat cowl onto my jet black '08 street today. totally changes the look of the bike, i cant stop going out and staring at it!

 

reido, I agree about the seat cowl. I went all-naked with mine, but kept the cowl.

Today (yesterday), I put Triumph carbon tank center pad so I don't mind hugging the tank around corners.

Gorgeous bike dood. Looks fantastic.

 

 

Just put a black Rizoma fatbar on. No threads for my Triumph bar end mirrors....CRG mirrors it is!

 

Moved mine to a different part of the garage to keep the battery tender hooked up while it's butt freezing cold and also to allow me to get 3 cars inside while my son is home for Christmas break from college.

 

Butt-freezing cold it is..... brrrr. I probably need to hook my tender up as well. I installed a Powerlet receptacle in the radiator shroud, makes it nice and quick to just plug it in.

 

thats a good idea!

 

just added the tank grip from tech grip....

 

I almost bought a z1000 before the STR ... i think about it alot though. I think I might get one as a second or 3rd bike

 

Put attack rearsets on it

Rizoma fatbar. It didn't have the threads for the Triumph bar end mirrors so I used a socket and an extension to stretch the mounting holes a little to fit around the end of the bar. BANG!

 

HOT! And I'm glad you didn't have to ditch the Triumph mirrors. They are BAD ASS. Easily the best money I spent on my bike. $130 or whatever, and they totally change the look. CRGs are cool, but I haven't seen a single mirror that looks as nice as those Triumph bar ends.

And now that I know you can do it, I might end up with a Rizoma bar as well. I like the black look, and Rizoma's are top-notch; but I wasn't willing to go with a bar that didn't take my mirrors!

Love those Rizoma bars. Me thinks I may have to take a pair off the shelf and fit them to mine now.

 

My levers came in!

 

Nice Tronix!

 

ya I like them, I took a 10 min ride and FROZEEE

 

+1 on the niceness.

Rode for about 3 hours yesterday. I think that'll just about do it for the season.

 

Nice! Just saw a used 'tona in the showroom with the opposite color combo on the levers, ha.

 

Lever looking good tronix....whats in the install like on those?

 

really easy just one nut/bolt.

 

Levers are the simplest things. I'm not going to lie I laughed when I saw the rubber gloved photo. :biggrinjester:

I'm holding out for a nice day still ... i still need to change my oil

Might as well wait for spring at this point. :thumbup:

 

ability to resist...falling...

 

Today I went for a ride and stopped to take a few pics of the bike. Here is the current set-up:

 

Snagged a tail pack from Mr. TNR4 this afternoon. Pretty slick design triumph used on these.

 

Glad you like -- thanks for contributing to the 'I need new leathers' fund! :cool2:
