Accessory Qs For New Bike

Hi all ... getting excited and ready to take possession of a speed tomorrow (and say farewell to my '10 ST3)

need help on a few accessory decisions:

1) Heated grips: Oxford or OEM and why?

2) Sliders (axle and body): Triumph or aftermarket (R&G)

3) for those with a single-sided swing arm (speed), are you using a hybrd stand using a pin (Pitbull), standard rear using dual rear bobbins or adding a center stand?

Im more quality than price sensitive, though the grips at 375 vs 100 for oxfords (and easier install), that's a hard sell unless I'm missing something.

Thank you kindly!

I've gone from cold feet about trading bikes to a damn giddy 5 year old as this day approaches.

 

yikes - glad you're ok (I hope)
That jack looks incredible

That kinda how I'm leaning on the grips too, though the integration is a sweet feature as I'm a minimalist .... but at $100 and no negative complaints, hard to go wrong there.

 

bought it !!!

got enough of a discount (> $2,000) on the demo that should I want to revert to a 765, most the depreciation got taken off the table.

But I rode this, the MT, KTM SD and Tuono and of these ,this fit my personality and style the best !!!. SD was close though, really close.

765 vs 1050 was the hard call, but coming off a 675 and always mentally comparing to the bmw RS that I have, I needed to make the jump and the 765 seems like too little of an jump.

Dealer had MVs there (no one carries it anywhere near me) and that was tempting as I almost bought a Brutalle RR 3 years ago and regret not having done so (motorcycle porn).

Held off on grips though. None in stock anyway and will just see how it goes. When its really cold I'm on the BMW, so its just to add mild comfort on cooler spring and fall days when I have to go to work at 6a or am up on the mountain passes messing around.

I'll be putting Rizomas on the swing arm, dealer fitted triumph protection on the frame and front fork for free, so that was an easy call.

will buy some stickers (pads), front light indicators (US = large ugly orange filament bulbs) and a tail tidy today online. Maybe that radiator cover too ...

yipee !!!!

thanks for the replies everyone !

 

was thinking SW-Motech, though I haven't called to verify.

Twisted throttle often carries their stuff in the US

 

24 hr road trip and got the demo bike (much to my local dealer's chagrin who said he was within $1500 to "save" me from a track demo bike with 250 miles on it)

Seating position will take a bit of getting used to as I felt like I was frequently sliding forward when going slow (perfect when "normal" speeds), but grip pads haven't arrived yet

anyone make an adjustment or buy a different gear shift level?
Seems an inch too short for my size 12s and relative to my other bikes?

great frickin engine ... didn't mess with suspension yet, but seemed pretty close out of the box, and the brakes were sublime!

Loved the sound ... enough that I'm going to hold of on those SC Projects (low) that I was itching for ....

But gotta fix that clutch pedal somehow ... or retrain my brain on foot positing for casual riding.

Just need 1" longer - famous last words !!!
