    Thanks Richard. These need to be on my "Christmas List" I think. As it happens I also have a Street Twin seat fitted on mine. I sometimes swap with the original as the mood takes me but usually I stay with the ST seat - as you say, more room.

    Also, unusually (as I'm probably a bit odd!), when SC owners talk about handlebars, they talk about swapping for higher (ST) bars for comfort but I went the other way and have proper clip-ons. Yes, very low and not exactly a touring accessory, and also makes the riding/legs position a bit more cramped. I'm not too tall so I love it but a set of rear-sets would be brilliant. I have been looking at the adustable foot-rests that Tec Bike and others do, but rear-sets would be best.

    I looked at the Tec ones as well but they only move the footrest not the brake or gear levers.
    I have also looked at clip ons (Woodcraft) but not got round to taking the plunge.

    I’ve also got a spare ST seat for the odd camping trip or errand day.

    My triumph tank badges arrived from amazon today, The old styled ones that I believe they are using again on the new range they have just announced.
    Well they where God awful....really cheap plastic moulding,chrome flaking off and just all round cheap. I guess you get what you pay for. They where about £30.
    So I think I'll scrap that idea for now!

    Hello all,I’ve just joined as having read some interesting articles about the triumph street cup,I purchased my first triumph last year as a lockdown toy,lol.I’ve owned lots of bikes over the years but never a triumph,so I bought one as I’ve always fancied a triumph hence the street cup,I was very pleased with the bike and having a big interest in making things to a personal spec I’ve done a few mods,suspension upgrade,decat,cored out the cans and recently a remap,this little bike is quite a fun packed bit of kit,the only mistake I made was not buying it sooner,it’s a real pleasure to ride.

    More goods in the post today.

    Got my street twin exhausts which look fantastic, so will be fitting them on Sunday.

    Tank pads and motone gas cap, and will be fitting the radiator guard later also.

    Got bored so installed the right exhaust when I got home from work.
    Really prefer the street twin exhaust on this bike.

    Hey all, weather has got cold a wet here again so that's a bummer!

    In the meantime I have got rid of the pillion pegs as I don't know anyone crazy enough to sit on a bike with me lol, and replaced them with some shiny Union Jack blanking plates. Looks the biz!

    Hey y'all .
    Had a few bits and bobs come In through the post yesterday.
    New levers, oil filler cap, engine badge and bar end mirrors.

    Really happy with all parts, especially the mirrors as they where such a bargain and the quality is brilliant.

    2nd times the charm.

    Got my head bolt covers and now they fit properly. Stuck abit of loctite as a precaution. Like how the badge, and oil cap tie in with the engine design.

    They are lovely, a little small but still usable.

    I don't know if they are still available, but total triumph where selling them for £70 a pair instead of £200.

    I’ve been debating for a good while...
    I really want to just cut off my pillion peg supports and smooth that part of the frame down. My exhaust doesn’t hang from there and I will never have a pillion. Encourage me to go past the point of no return with a grinder!!!
