Shorter Headlight Bracket?

Hi Jamie,

There is a fairly recent post on here from a chap in the uk who has carried out this mod, you can buy the part from Triumph.
I think it cost him around £50 the part no.is in the post also, if I remember it's just a street triple bracket.

There's the thread you seek;

After reading this thread I did the mod to my 2015 Speed Triple R using the part listed - easy to do in under an hour.

 

Ahh beat me to it!

 

Before:


After:


I'd say not.

 

Just a thought - if the lights are closer, this could effect steering lock.

 

Keep us posted on your experience please.
And could you be so kind to post before/after pics from exact same angle and position?
Considering this mod as well.

 

I've just ordered the bracket as well. I'm always horrible at remembering to take before pics, but I'll try to set a camera on a tripod in my garage and snap exact-angle before/after shots. I probably won't have the bracket in-hand until at least mid-week, though.

 

Here you go!

 

Mostly impressed with the garage!

 

I hear that pabs.

First I wanted a garage. Eventually bought a house with a garage.....now I want a house with a double garage!!!

Lovely bike, great mod. Might look into that me self!!!

Thanks for the pics, appreciated!
Effect is visible... but only in direct comparison? Seems less of an impact as I thought, or can you see it better in real life?
Any effect on riding and wind?

Other question: pics seem to indicate that the fly screen is tighter to the headlights - is that so? Did you mod the bracket of the fly screen or is it just the picture?


(next to the garage: nice color of the S3!)

 

Thanks for the compliments on the garage and bike color. The garage doubles as my wood shop, and the color is honestly what sold me on the bike when I saw it.

Answers to questions:

- The effect isn't dramatic.
- If anything, the difference in wind blocking is that it now blasts me mid-chest as opposed to directly in my face. I think I prefer it. An added benefit!
- The flyscreen IS tighter to the headlights. It may be that I have the lights aimed a touch higher now. I'll have to give it a ride after dark to see. I did not modify the bracket to achieve this gap decrease, but to my eye it's yet another added benefit. Hopefully I don't have to adjust the headlight aim down and effectively open that gap again.

One other before/after perspective I forgot to post is the view from the seat.




Incidentally, the brake line does foul the gauge binnacle ever so slightly now. I doubt it'll ever be enough of a problem to even cause cosmetic wear.




I've already had one friend tell me he liked it better before. To each their own. When I look at it, this is all I see:



I prefer the Gremlin, thank you very much!

 

Guys, have any of you got the link to this product still, other thread doesn’t seem to work?
