    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!
