In this PS-TuneUp we not only dedicate ourselves to the performance parts, but also take a look at the fine parts around the styling of the undisguised 675. Free your mind!

Slip-on damper


PS-Tune Up


PS

Accessory slip-ons are usually of no use in terms of performance, but rather cost power for a visually skilful appearance. Our test candidates are very close together, bring or cost a maximum of two to three horsepower.

As a three-cylinder, the Streety comes naturally with a charismatic sound. With a suitable accessory damper, this can be clearly demonstrated acoustically. The four slip-ons we tested all come with an EC type approval. First of all, the fine Arrow. Here you can see that the Italians are part of the British company’s own brand and were able to take measurements directly in the course of vehicle development. The slip-on nestles elegantly around the peg and swing arm like Eva Green around Daniel Craig in “Casino Royale”. There is something beguiling about the sound, like Miss Moneypenny’s breathtaking appointment. But so much sex appeal comes at a price.

The Bodis Duobolico is there – with the exception of the price – of a completely different kind. Visually, the piece could come directly from the current Mad Max strip, and when looking at the neatly processed damper you wait for meter-high jets of flames to escape from the double runner. It doesn’t do it, but the sound of the Bodis damper is rock’n’roll. Consequence: You constantly find yourself constantly and unnecessarily shifting down with double-declutching and keeping the triplet happy at every traffic light with throttling of the gas. The Warlord appearance is not cheap, but is okay for what is offered.

The martial and at the same time very noble crafted Zard celebrates its optical existence in a world of its own. The part has something of vintage and gives the Streety its own character. And the sound? Sounds like Lemmy performing “Ace of Spades” after the umpteenth Bourbon throat rinse – snotty, arrogant and riotous. The device not only gives you goose bumps, but also ensures permanent head-banging body hair.

We come to the almost subtle-looking Scorpion. Neatly and neatly made, with a high-quality carbon cover and a look that fits in with the overall Streety picture. The sound is sonorous, but without the pugnacious crescendo of Bodis and Zard. So if you just want to give your triplet more depth and weight in the voice and want to be discreet with the optics, this is the right place for you. The price for it is great.

In terms of performance, the Arrow and Scorpion are close to the standard trim. The Bodis is the only one who easily packs something on it. The beautiful Zard sacrifices three to four horsepower in favor of style. 

Handlebars

If you like things a little more upright, you should take a look at the “Vario” clamp set from ABM. The handlebars come higher and the distance to the body can be varied by means of a joint. Manufacturing quality and visual appearance are paramount, but you should be careful when choosing the handlebars – since the Streety brackets are relatively far apart and the ABM parts themselves are also very massive, accessory handlebars can be too heavy There are problems with the clamping.

Then to the Rizoma variant, which in our case consists of the in-house clamping blocks including the almost straight drag bar handlebar. When assembled, it looks like you’re about to head for the apocalypse. However, if you think that this station wagon is at most suitable for the diabolical appearance, we can disappoint you with a broad grin. No, because that makes you burn angry across the country. Only in slow bends, in hairpin bends or when turning, does the Rizoma pair tend to buckle a little. Noticed and saved the first few times, but then it works.

Third suggestion: the Speed ​​Match handlebar clamps including stubs from LSL. The sportiest version of a Streety is surprisingly cool to steer and harmonizes really well with the rest of the geometry. Here you can tell that Street Triple and the in-house super sports car, the Daytona 675, have a lot more in common than just the volume of the displacement. If you are in the mood for cafe racer style and see the stooped attack on the home track not as torture, but as a fun sporting performance, you can strike here and burn down on every track.

All three variants come with material reports that require registration with the TuV – but no problem with professional installation.

Headlights

A conversion is always interesting with the double headlight of the Street Triple, because over the years it has mutated from the original round double-eyed eye to modern edge lights and shares tastes. First, we install the Urban headlight kit from LSL including the retaining plate for the instruments. The mono light fits in well with the overall picture and is of high quality. The headlight comes with an E-mark and has a decent light output.

Now something for the brave: Anyone who explains to their friends that they have built a classic round headlight à la Cafe Racer on their Street Triple can, in the worst case, be immediately banished from the round table. But it doesn’t matter, because new friends come quickly once you are out and about with the high-end LED part.

The highsider headlight has a totally independent chic and should magically attract people with mainstream dislike. The headlight, dubbed “Reno”, comes with an E-mark and a light output, as if you were going on a night hike with a stadium floodlight. The appropriate mounting kit and the dashboard mounting plate are available from LSL.

Regarding both headlight variants, however, it should be said that it is not a matter of plug-and-play, but rather cables have to be reconnected and one or the other spacer socket must be made. In addition, the use of the Triumph flight screen is no longer possible and the original dashboard cover is required.

mirrors

It’s not that the original parts make you nauseous, but it’s always better. The parts from Rizoma, for example, are beautiful. With their new “4D”, the Italians show that they not only have an understanding of design, but are also innovative. The 4D offers a blind spot area at the end of the mirror glass, as has long been known from car mirrors. Absolutely useful! But great haptics and good ideas also come at a high price.

If you like it pretty but find it difficult to put the aesthetic demands above the budget, you will find an inexpensive, yet good alternative in the Fechter Drive range. Their “Magazi” universal mirror also fits the Streety perfectly in terms of style and offers a sensible look back at what you leave behind with the triplet.

Of course, handlebar end mirrors are currently very popular – see the Honda MotoGP replica for yourself. But no matter which manufacturer you choose, looking in the rearview mirror takes getting used to. The highsider handlebar end mirrors sold by Louis are no exception, but they fit perfectly with the fighter style and given the price-performance ratio, a broad grin should appear in the mirror glass. But be careful: The variant we tested does not fit the original handlebar, but only on accessory models with hollow handlebar ends! Of course, all three mirrors come with an E-mark, which makes discussions about legality superfluous.

Frame protectors

“Frame sliders” are often a sensible investment and can also be accommodated extremely stylishly on the frame of the bare 675. For aesthetes, Rizoma is once again the ideal solution – the protectors are neatly crafted in a combination of CNC-milled aluminum and black plastic and look like pieces of jewelry, which you can also tell from the price.

If you prefer understatement, you should buy it directly from the Triumph dealer – their protectors with a perfect fit, fair price and almost invisibly mounted on the bike usually prevent the worst if something “stupid” happens to you.

License plate holder

The fine Lightech license plate holder convinces us all along the line: neatly processed, adjustable in many ways, with E-approved reflector and license plate lighting also provided with E-mark, which also comes up with a special highlight – an additional red light-emitting diode shines out to the rear and can can be clamped either as an additional rear or brake light. Plus a fair price – all in all our favorite for attaching the number plate.

The LSL holder starts with the usual solid quality. Also equipped with license plate lighting and reflector (both E-tested), it does not offer any adjustment options in the inclination of the license plate compared to the Lightech.

Also the part of R&G cannot come up with this luxury. In addition, a reflector is included, which is not worth mentioning due to its size and the lack of an E-mark. Perhaps an alternative for those who like the angular style of the boom, because it goes great with the Streety.

Last but not least, the highsider attachment from the accessory chain. No license plate lights, no reflectors, and if you think so, I’ll just use the original parts, we’ll have to disappoint you. These don’t fit! Due to the low price, the part is definitely a “base plate for self-realization”. Those who like plug-and-play prefer to use Lightech or LSL.

Automatic switchgear

If you don’t own an R-Model and still want to switch up without interruption, you will find other alternatives in addition to the original Triumph automatic retrofit switchgear. Dynojet, for example, offers a kit for the triplet consisting of an automatic switch and an ignition module. All in all, not exactly cheap, this duo does its job as it should, but also without any noticeable advantages to the Triumph part. It can offer an alternative to the original accessories for those who might also be thinking about a Power Commander from Dynojet.

The switch module, including the associated wiring harness from Starlane, is different, because that’s big cinema. How come? Because, on the one hand, the response behavior can be set very quickly using a small adjusting wheel on the module, which should preferably be packed under the bench, and can therefore be adjusted perfectly and smoothly. And because the part also interrupts sparkling clean in both directions. What is that supposed to mean? Well, very briefly an attempt to explain this extremely fun feature: downshifting, for example when rolling towards the red traffic light, works as always, i.e. with the clutch. But when you struggle across the country behind a dachshund-decorated hat rack on a Sunday, for example, and finally get a clear view of the traffic, you simply step on the pedal – while the gas is still slightly on -, find yourself a few hundred revolutions higher and recharge your batteries with a refreshing breath . The whole thing is a bit like the “kick down” in an automatic transmission and puts you in an endless mood.

The attachment should normally be plug-and-play thanks to the associated wiring harness, but it makes our 2015 model a bit niggling. Since Starlane24 was immediately available via telephone support and had problem-solving information ready immediately, it worked quickly. That’s how it has to be, and that’s not just about the hardware, but also the service that goes with it. Regarding the effects on the transmission, we are unfortunately unable to make any statements without a long-term test. Maybe the fun demands certain sacrifices.

Briefly on the legal situation: Automatic gearshifts change the vehicle’s emissions behavior, which means that the operating license is no longer valid. Incidentally, this also applies to the Triumph retrofit part. Vehicles like the Street Triple R, which have already built exactly this goodie in series and thus received their operating permit, of course pass legally. Welcome to Germany!

Nice to have

At the top of the list is the great Hyperpro shock absorber. The series part of the “normal” Streety offers hardly any adjustment options (apart from spring preload) and thus robs the fast-paced British woman the chance to use her real country road killer potential. The R version comes with rebound and compression adjustment, but is a bit too tight for us. The Hyperpro shows how to do it almost perfectly – great feedback and mechanical grip and yet enough sensitivity and cushioning reserves for third-class road surfaces. The good piece is also assembled individually for the customer and whoever is bothered by the hyperpro-purple of the nib, relax! This is also available in black.

With regard to the footrest system, this time we didn’t stake out the large test field, but simply opted for a fine part from Bella Italia. The fully adjustable, beautiful and extremely high quality system from Lightech turns on. 

It fits perfectly with the style of the Streety, has an ABE and if you want to treat yourself to something special, you can wear the R-Model directly. This luxury version impresses with carbon heel guards, titanium screws, articulated switching tip and foldable, extremely grippy detents – really great cinema.

The sleek windshield from Puig is perfect for brisk country road surfing with the naked burner. It takes a lot of pressure off the upper body without destroying the basic optics.

For literally “underneath” there is a pretty front spoiler from Bodystyle. Less angular than the Triumph part from the original accessories range and definitely an alternative. ABE, great fit, fair price, all inclusive – you only have to take care of the paint yourself.

We replaced the original “urine sample cups” for the brake fluid with stylish containers from Rizoma (“Wave” model) or LSL (“Brakebox” model). Both have a fine feel and are also supplied with ABE. 

We exchange the original indicators for material from top dog Kellermann. Whether it’s the “Rhombus Micro 1000” model or the new “BL 2000” handlebar end indicators – ultimately it’s a matter of taste, because they are all above things in terms of quality (E-approved, of course). When converting, however, please keep in mind that the indicator relay is also required in order to poke around the corner with LED lighting in the future.

Something nice to finish off? How about the sprocket cover from LSL – nobody needs it, but it looks great.

We’re through with that again. We hope that with this TuneUp we have provided one or the other inspiration for the winter renovation and wish you a lot of fun in the garage at home or in the specialist workshop you trust. With this in mind: Gentlemen, please start your customizing!
