Headlight Idea: 23 Speed Twin 900

Mr_Colton · Sep 7, 2023

Hey guys, first post on the forum so I hope this is the right spot. I am the proud new owner of a 2023 Speed Twin in the matte ironstone colorway (first bike). I have a list of modifications planned for it but the one thing that is not my style is the headlight. I have seen the JW offerings but am not 100% sold on the idea. While walking the dealership today, I saw the Trident 660 has a beautiful LED headlight. It has great styling and is a little bit slimmer to fit the overall aesthetic I am trying to obtain.

Being new to Triumph, I am wondering if there are any sensors or wires that might cause a dash light if I were to fabricate a bracket to fit the light. I have researched companies like Thorton Hundred who have put the Bobber headlight on speed twin models. Will this idea work? Has it been done?

Thanks for your time, I am excited to hear your feedback.

Hey, Congrats on your new Speed Twin, that's awesome. While I'm not sure about the specific modifications you mentioned, it's always a good idea to consult with a professional or the dealership to make sure any changes won't cause any issues with sensors or dash lights. They'll have the expertise to guide you. Good luck with your customization journey.

Welcome Mr Colton.

You'll have to check the fit, but you might find a headlight to suit here. I fitted a single headlight to a Street Triple R recently. It's good quality stuff and works well, although expensive.
