Hi all,

I just joined up today, posted a hello, and have been searching the threads for any fender eliminators for the 09 street triple R.

So far I have found the Mad Doctor and the R&G Tail Tidy. I'm sure I'll find more info as I look through the threads, but can you all tell me if any of these two are good buys? Are they durable? does anyone have pics of the two?

Thanks in advance all!!

i fitted an Ermax on mines fits well and can't complain about it

Can we get some pics?

I've heard the R&G has some problems of not staying together and I don't know anyone that has a Mad Doctor installed.

Lucid Triple: Your bar-end mirrors:

Which brand/model are they?
Do they work better than stockers for rear view?
I love the look of bar-ends on a street fighter, but I want functional too...

thanks,
greg. (sorry for going off topic Diego)

Clear Alternatives Integrator

I had a custom one of sorts done at my local shop - looks sweet (sorry no pics yet). They used the Clear Alternatives tail light/turn signal integrator, which I really like. They did the chop leaving just enough to drill holes into for attaching the license plate mounting plate. It's all very clean looking and not over complicated - the whole reason for the chop

Purchased a Mad Doctor kit a couple months ago, and simply haven't gotten around to installing it. Too much family stuff going on. I'm off this entire weekend and getting it installed is on my "to do list". I'll take some pics and post them.

Those would be the Triumph bar end mirrors and I find them to be suitable for use and no really can't compare them to the stockers since they were put on soon after getting the bike :welldone:

Tail tidy

I fitted the MadDoctor to my street triple last year. Looks lovely, and the LEDs are very bright when extended outwards. When tucked-in during the day, visibility is slightly compromised. Installation is pretty straight forward when 'clipping' your old plugs and soldering to the new. Although quality of the cables isn't too great.

Pros - looks lovely, draws attention especially with stock cans removed and replaced with lowboy. Nice option of setting the angle of the plate too.

Cons - Quality of the build is pretty flimsy. Need to be really careful when they are extended that you don't knock them (plactic is pretty weak).

I park in a bay in London and some lovely person moved my bike and snapped off the left indicator. I've reattached with tape, but am really angry about this. I need to see if I can buy and indicator and open up the 'sealed' unit & fix.... any know if it's possible?

So in short - looks good, but pretty fragile. hope that helps.

'09 St Triple R Fender Eliminators?

Thanks for the pic of the Ermax. I will search for it, but if possible could you drop a note in this thread as to how you found it.

I can add to that I rode with the stock mirrors for several hundred miles before putting on the Triumph Bar end mirrors. The bar end mirrors are not as good as the stock ones by any comparison except for looks. That said they are at least 75% as good which is good enough for me and I always look over my shoulder anyway.

Triumph bar-end mirrors: Thanks Lucid Triple and MacBandit for the info.

The ones they offer were a double sided tape type that I didn't quite fancy and it also has no place for fitting the stock indicators so I thought of making my own indies and stuck them into the filler panels;

I got them online from;

Wow, I didn't notice the signal in your original photo. Nice work!

If you get a chance, can you post a link to the signal illuminated?

thanks, greg.

 

[AaronP220R]

Seriously. I'm REALLY liking what you did here.

Here's one with it off


Almost on


And lit




not spendy to do, the filler panels were like $35 and led bulbs (one per side) were $12 each and the viewing angle is great too

 

[MustacheRider73]

Hey guys,

Thanks for the replies, that helps me out. seems Street triple eliminators are tough to find and a super reliable one is not in the cards! I decided to order the competition werkes kit from British custom and I'm gonna see how that works...

I will of course post the pics of the completed product and give my opinion! Also, can't wait to put the after market triumph mirrors on my bike and reduce the profile!!

 

[MacBandit]

Could you post detailed photos of it before you mount it? It looks basic enough that I may make my own after taking in to account there design.
