[VB-SP3-2005]

Dude , nearly did the same thing this weekend. After riding all morning tried to trun the bike around at a local bike stop on a slight incline and got distracted by the fittest looking babe getting onto a r6 . Tapped the front break and the bike started to topple.

Only the superhuman strenagth that comes looking not looking like a complete $$%^^ head infront of dozens of other bikers and said fit babe stopped it from hitting the road.

Have not got the the frame sliders ... may have to invest in a set

You can get levers and suitable mirrors from numerous sources, obviously. As for the rest...see your Triumph dealer. Compared to a lot of other bikes I know of --including some other Triumphs(!)-- this particular damage isn't all that expensive on the Speed Triple.

(Yes, I speak from experience. Except never two sides in the same incident)

frame sliders saved my rad!!! a must have!!!!

i want to thank everyone that posted!

after a long time of looking at different levers, i have decided to get the ones i fell in love with as soon as i saw them. the CRG supersport clutch and brake in gold, and 2 mor CRG mirrors, i think he felt sorry for me cause he gave me a pretty good deal.

thanks again you guys made me feel better!

aaronb_dsn, who is selling you crg levers? last i checked they did not make them for the 05+ triple?!?!? unless u want to do a few mods. if they started making them i'd like to know. otherwise make sure you know what your ordering.

cheers

[aaronb_dsn]

i called CRG themselves. ordered them right there.
the brake lever is a bolt on, the clutch is a perch, so you have to kill the saftey switch... but they are soo sweet looking!

i tried to bend the brake lever out and f*$%ing broke it!!!
so im down for a week until i get my levers.

My buddy dropped my triple when we were loading them up at the Dragon to go home. I or should I say he got lucky. It only bent the rear brake lever, and we were able to bend it back. I just ordered a replacement one (because I am anal like that), and it was $72

[jdub3]

i'm anal like that too. probably will order another one sooner or later. i guessed 100 based on the uk price i got from jacklilley. i'm guessing you ordered from a local shop?

Big Sur - 2am; park K100 on REALLY dark dirt road next to campsite & sleep; wakeup 5am - bike on incline; push sleeping bag in touring bag - push bike over into dirt gravel road while pushing sleeping bag into touring bag; slow motion loud scream - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO; neighbors come out of tent, look at me run back in... amazingly minor cracked fairing.

[jdub3]

13, that's a good story. they were probably all freaked out and then were like, oh, this guy knocked his bike over. little did they know the horror you went through was probably worse than other reasons you might have screamed. ouch.

If you want stock mirrors, you can have mine. Just pay for the shipping and they are yours!
