Hi Im after a rear paddock stand that goes in th spindle on a Speed triple 1050 09 reg.. Also would buying a K&N air filter give me better performance or would you recommend a OEM or HI Flow?
Hi mate, two separate questions there that you will probably get better answers for if you put them in the right section Just click on the Forums tab at the top of the screen and you can take your pick of sections
Re the filter query at least https://www.thetriumphforum.com/threads/air-filters-washable-or-oem.41877/#post-643588
The wanted paddock stand is now soundly in the wanted thread part of the forum... and th K&N will be in technical soon. Cheeers.
Hey there! For a rear paddock stand, you’ll want to look for a single-sided swingarm stand that’s compatible with your Speed Triple’s spindle. I’d recommend going for something like the Harris Performance or Evotech paddock stands. Both brands make solid options that fit snugly into the rear hub and provide great stability. Just make sure to get the correct pin size (typically 27mm or 28mm for the Speed Triple) so it’s a perfect fit. As for the Air Filter: K&N Air Filter: You’ll get better airflow compared to the stock filter, which can give you a slight bump in throttle response and a bit more intake noise (if you’re into that). However, don’t expect massive performance gains—maybe a few HP at most. OEM or Hi-Flow: OEM filters are designed for balance, providing adequate filtration without sacrificing airflow. Hi-Flow filters, like the ones from BMC, are a good middle ground if you want a little extra performance without the maintenance hassle of an oiled filter like K&N. Recommendation: If you’re looking for easy maintenance and don’t mind cleaning and re-oiling your filter every so often, go with K&N. If you prefer something closer to stock with good performance and less upkeep, try a Hi-Flow filter. Hope that helps! Let us know what you go with and how it works out for you!
Well you carnt get better than that for a reply. So can i trouble you in asking when hub size went from 27 to 28mm?? Mines a 09. I was looking at second hand too off th forum to save a few bob...!!! I think ill go for Hi Flow and th other one i saw was it BMR... Cheers Phil
