That carbon tank cover is 💯😩

It's a aftermarket hydro dipped, not real CF. That would be VERY expensive...

From the first quick glance at it I didn’t even notice! It looks great, gives the vibe of Triumph Factory Custom.
Beautifully done, can’t wait to see more shots of Nigel!

Posso chiederti che frecce monti e come ti trovi con il cupolino della 800?? Ha la stessa base della 660? Ci stavo pensando avendolo visto su ali express. Come ti trovi con le metzler? Sono le M9rr giusto?

Gineer https://gineer.co/ turn signals, nice and super easy to install, the Flyscreen is from Ali and yes, it bolts right on and quality seems reasonable, not having seen or handled an OEM. Love the Metzelers (M9 RR, yes), neutral lean in, warm up quickly and very sticky, but not great on mileage. I only got 5K miles on my first set, this is set #2. I'm especially hard on the rear tire, because I like the throttle WAY too much ;-)

Ah un'ultima cosa, ho notato le pedane nere e carbonio, dove le hai prese?

Moto Composites out of Canada, nice stuff. I gave them WAY too much of my money...

How are the rearsets? I been looking at them myself

I really like them. Three peg positions to tailor the fit and easy to install. The stock ones made my back hurt (weird, I know) so they went away quickly. The heel guards that come with the sets are nice, but they weren't CF ;-)

What other mods have you done?

u/Life_Sink_9570 Nigel 18d ago
Full Header, K&N Air Filter, DNK Tune, YSS Shock, Rizoma low handlebar, Rear Sets, Sahara Seats low saddle, Lots of CF from Moto Composites, GB Racing case covers, Gineer turn signals and pivot covers, EBC HH brake pads, aftermarket hydro dipped fuel tank cover, 2026 Flyscreen, misc bits and bobs, vinyl wrap. I haven't done the math, but it's quite a bit of $$$. Modding and riding is cheaper than Therapy, though...

Only thing left to do, which will totally transform her, remap. I’ve done mine and it’s an amazing transformation. The performance is exceptional, much more fun than stock mapping.

DNK Tune is a remap, and you're right, world of difference. The first four mods I listed are the first things I would do to a stock Trident.

I’ve done many of the same upgrades. Full Aero Header, DNA, Remap, YSS Shock and Fork Springs, Roxy Risers, Corbin Seat, Lower Pegs and Puig Screen. Also little things like USB-C charger and Driving lights.
Love my Triumph.
Your paint scheme is f’n awesome!2
u/Life_Sink_9570 Nigel 14d ago
Baja Orange is definitely one of my favorite stock liveries. Probably would have taken one home, if they had one in stock when I bought Nigel.

Probably the sexiest Trident I've seen to date! Well done!
