Street Triple Accessories
I have a few questions about what I should buy for accessories.

1) Bellypan- what is the function of this? Is it to make the bike more aerodynamic?

2) Flyscreen- does it make a real difference in the wind and bugs by having this? How about the visor, should I get that too or is it just for looks? Accordingto the dealer, the visor is just more or less for looks and what really helps if any is the flyscreen.

3) What is a rad cowl kit?


Ride Safe and have fun

I bought the bellypan just for looks, but had the screen and visor as they do make a difference, sat on the motorway for and 1hr and a half today at 95mph and it made it bearable, bloody boring journey though!

Cool, I put the flyscreen on order. I'll try it without the visor first and see how much it refracts the bugs and wind and if it is still bad I'll get the visor.

I guess I'll opt out from the bellypan Maybe :P

I added the flyscreen a week ago and have really noticed a difference. The wind blast seems to be diverted upward to my neck and chin. It's made a difference in helmet noise, also. I think I'll add the visor too. That should take the turbulence over my head. By the way I'm 6' tall.

Not sure if the screen will do much once the lovebug season is in full force over the next couple weeks

I bought the flyscreen too as well as the Triumph Street Triple magnetic tankbag and tail bag. The flyscreen produces a useful pocket of dead air so that wind has no chance of removing the tankbag.
