Improving Cornering Clearance

Done deal. Well... almost. I have ordered today the 675 Daytona's pegs, peg mounting brackets and both levers plus the few bits and pieces necessary for the swap. About 450 US$ worth of parts. It looks like a simple bolt-on affair, as judged by the factory on-line technical site... but we'll see how the installation actually goes.

The Daytona pegs sit over two inches (close to 6 centimeters) higher than those of the Streety. And, having owned a 675 Daytona, I have always felt short-changed with the Streety in terms of leaning angles :motorbike: Jamie

From a Different Angle....

Swap to Daytona pegs, peg brackets and levers performed today. NOTHING, boot tips and/or pegs scrapes the asphalt anymore.
Pros: Drastically improved cornering clearance/less apprehensive leaning angles. Which was the aim of the game.
Con: Where's the (my) limit now?

Still Crazy...

A definite "must do" change, particularly if you ever plan to take the Street Triple to a track. Those who did on June 2 in Northern France (my dealer had invited me but he eventually forgot to enroll me, as already posted) UNANIMOUSLY agree.


So I am still exploring the new leaning limit. I have some further testing to complete. For all I know, I used to be faster on the Daytona 675. Right now there are few inhibitors. Firstly , at 59 years of age, I seem to be running out of road rage (sigh!). Secondly, the std equipment Dunlop don't send me enough feedback when pushed to their limit, grip-wise. Thirdly, and I'd submit it's the key hurdle, the Street Tiple relatively high bar (compared to the Daytona 675 clip-ons) provides for an excellent and almost effortless leverage in twisties, at times bordering on over-steering. But that's at the expense of front end tracking precision.


Still in one piece. Jamie :motorbike:
