New Speed Twin-which Cat Delete And Power Commander Worth It?

I have choose to not decat. From those I have spoke with who have they haven't noticed anything but an increase in the exhaust note. If that is what you are looking for go for it. I would suggest taking that money and upgrading the suspension first. My two cents.

My upgrades include Corbin Saddle, KTech rear shocks, Tec fork springs and adjustable preload fork tube caps, upgraded levers, Vance&Hines slip ons and DNA air filter.

Interesting note, I switched the air filter so I would have a reusable one and wasn't looking for any performance pick up. Surprise I have found is better engine pick up in low RPM's (1500 - 2500) when in a higher gear than you would typically use. It pulls smooth and doesn't have a stumble. This allowing me to go into a 2 gear corner in 3rd gear and not have big engine braking when rolling off the throttle.

 

The suspension upgrade in the back made a big difference and a moderate difference in front. The bike doesn't kick out when leaned over when hitting something like a frost heave. So the shocks are definitely worth it. The stock front forks are well set up, a cartridge kit would probably make a bigger difference but for the way I ride don't know if it is worth $800.00. The Corbin seat is great and I cannot even imagine riding on a flat bench seat anymore.

 

Hi there
Does anyone know what a UK Triumph dealer would charge to fit the TEC decat to my 2019 Street Twin.
Been quoted 3 hours and over £200!!!!!!!!

Cheers appreciate that. A bit too far to go for me. I live in the Gloucestershire area.

 

think you have answered your own question

 

My local dealer, Youles in Manchester, charged me £150 to fit the Motone X-pipe to my Street Twin. That was August last year. I considered having a go myself and watched several Youtubes, but unless you know what you're doing it looked like it would take me a day and I'd need another pair of hands.
I suggest you phone a few dealers and see if that's a standard price. I find costs for this sort of work varies and sometimes your original dealer will drop the price if you can (honestly) tell them it's cheaper elsewhere. Of course they may just tell you where to go (to the cheaper dealer) but it's worth a try. If you do find a cheaper deal elsewhere treat it as a day out, although take a book for the 3 hour wait!
As for the effect the X-pipe made, I found it very noticeable. Definitely more responsive to the throttle, with less lag, and sharper acceleration. Great for overtakes. It's worth it for that alone. No idea whether it releases more bhp's. Sound is subjective of course but it's certainly an improvement in my opinion, providing you can cope with the popping on the overrun.

 

I fitted mine myself, and it is a bit of a fiddly job on the speed twin, those quotes sound about right to me
Worth it though, not sure if it’s an more powerful but it sounds much better, get loads of comments how good it sounds, and I’ve kept the standard silencers
