I had bar ends on my Royal Enfield. Didn't personally get on with them. I felt that I was looking down too far to use them.

MK Design in India. They ship world wide. Though the shipping was kinda expensive

Sorry to hear about that. Hope you get back out there soon. I tried Patterson Pass awhile back but the asphalt is way too rocky. Tires was behaving like I was on ice. Want to hit up Hwy 9 to Santa Cruz.

I sold the bike to a friend. When I dropped it off after he bought it I gave it a few revs. That sound will never get old. Loved it!

Yes watch the gravel on the corners.

The roads here can be spectacular if only the state kept up with the maintenance. I want to ride Hwy 1 to Big Sur next.

@@brelandte The South Island of NZ 🇳🇿 has better roads than North Island but does have ⅔ less people.

Damn nice vid! Glad it popped up in my feed, and it really makes this Cali boy living in Kentucky since 2005 miss the hills of the East Bay. 55yrs of riding and I still flinched when you mentioned gravel on the curves! 😅

@@petehealy9819 Thanks! I’m a Louisiana boy (New Orleans). Moved here in 2010. To this day I’m still in wonder of the beauty here. Back home the Mississippi levee was our Yosemite! Started riding 4 years ago. Still learning every ride. Can only imagine what 55 years brought you!!!

Good idea! Thanks

@@brelandte Must of held button down to long & comment came out 3times 🤣only just noticed it while reading your comment.

@@ruahinesrider LOL! Saw that. No worries it actually helped. caught my attention.

Just made the changes to the titles for my last 3 videos.

@@brelandte Yeah it'll help with more views & TH-cam algorithm.

I do run it with the baffle that came with it. Does TEC offer a quieter one?

@@brelandte I asked them and apparently there is one with cost about 12£. I cannot post the link for some reason but search for “quiet baffle” in their web page and you will find it.

Was just some chemicals burning off.

Mine was also pretty tight. Was a bit worried the spades would pull out of the connector.

Yeah , and could you please tell (give a link) where you purchased radiator guard with Union Jack ?

Thanks. The bike is a matt black. I found a dealer online that sold the plastic body panels and ordered the red tail. I hated the gray trim pieces and so replaced them with carbon on the radiator and the tail. As for the tailpipe. I reinstalled the OEM for now. Perhaps one day I'll get around to buying another one or find that DB killer. The pipe did come with one from TEC but was still too loud for my tastes.

Exactly!

Thanks! I only cleaned it after the install. I used WD-40. After that I never touched it. I have since removed it and put the stock back on. It was just too loud. Plus I leave for work at 4:30am and woke the neighborhood....

I switched back to the stock mostly because this exhaust is just too loud for me. I checked all the seals and joints when removing it and everything looked good.

@@brelandteare you selling your old one by chance?

My thoughts as well. May just go back to the stock exhaust. Aftermarket is just too loud for me anyway.

Can cause stalling & rough idle & false info to ECU & your Triumph dealership replace for free.I haven't had any issues on my bike but rang dealer to confirm & have to take it in for new hose sounds like easy fix. Pay to do it ASAP to prevent issues later on.

I just saw that. I had actually had my bike stall. Thought it was weird but ignore it afterwards. Going to make a call to my dealer over this recall. Thanks! @@ruahinesrider

@@brelandte Reckon it's 2021-23 bikes so almost all of them.I rang my Dealer & have to take it in but they busy all next week so week after weather wet this weekend anyway.Sounds like easy fix. Be a great time to get them to put Iridium spark plugs in while in there. Also if they have to remove tank & probably will be great time to put DNA filter in but they'd charge you for a hour's work.

@@brelandte Spoke to guy in UK who had Recall part installed 12days ago & said it ran smoother & better. Makes sense with correct 3hole pipe compared to 1holed pipe & remap which probably improved breathing.

You'll proably get yours done before me. Can;t wait to hear if you notice a difference as well as this gentleman.@@ruahinesrider

Fuel X will help richen bike up too as well as the Iridium spark plugs.

How hard is it to get to the plugs?

@@brelandte I don't know I haven't had researched it & still got stock pipes on my Trident 🔱.If you got a service at garage coming up let them do it.

I had Recall work done & it was free they swapped a 1 hole hose for 3hole hose.They said 1hole hose gets oil in it & causes an obstruction which gives false readings to ECU stalling issues rough idle & can cause excessive oil use.I had no such issues but got it done took 100mins.I noticed bike idled lower but that's all till I got home & noticed it had used less gas.I used 4.8L per 100km non stop on 106km trip there.On way home I stopped once for gas ⛽ & went same route & used 4.6L per 100km so bike idled lower & was more economical after Recall work but didn't notice any sound difference.Glad I got it done for peace of mind & better idle & better fuel economy & no problems in future from 1hoke hose. Blue pipes on bikes with aftermarket headers us normal too.Also when at Triumph getting Recall work done get some Red Radiator fluid as it hard to come by anywhere else.They take the tank off to swap hose & would be a good time to get them to put a DNA Air Filter in while tank is off.

@@ruahinesrider Oh wow! Sounds like there is a lot more to this new hose design than I first thought. Glad you filled me in on the details. I defintely will need to schedule this service. I am on a special project at work at the moment that's taking up all of my time. When that's done I should be able to go over there. Not sure if I want to do a filter change but, I'm sure by the time I get the recall done I will, plus a quick shifter. want that too.

Thanks, I'm also thinking it's a leak....Bought a set of gaskets last week.

Wow! Wrong color?!?!

Good point! Will need to make a video on that. As well as the painted brakes cause I forgot to get back to talking about it. I did make a short sound bite on the exhaust on my channel.

Thank you my newest subscriber!!!

I noticed that the some Tridents had fat indicators I thought it might of been a 2021 model & they changed them as my bike doesn't have fat one's must be a USA thing. Triumph do the Scrolling Indicators that look great cost $250nz but that's here they're probably fat looking in US or unavailable. I also had to use a step drill & drill holes in the plastic body bits where Hepco Becker Grab rails mount but not a major just had to by a step drill for $25.I could of mounted them without drilling but bike didn't look right.

Ear plugs the flash reducing one's that go right into ear will help with sound cheap ear 👂 plugs will be loose & fall out.

They maybe a U.S. spec thing? My new ones do scroll when used and adds a lot to the looks! Your Hepco rails are a closed loop right? The point on the end of mine stabs my leg if I don't lift clear of them when getting off. Ouch! @@ruahinesrider

Got me some good plugs. No longer have the ringing in my head after the ride but still allows a lot of sound to come through.@@ruahinesrider

@@brelandte Yes closed loop grab rail.Glad I didn't get Triumph one's now with my bad ankles after what you said about being stabbed in ankles.I have a small tail bag with Rechargeable mini air compressor in it & I put my knee on seat & lift leg & slide knee over seat so foot doesn't knock the tail bag.

I believe I have the same one!

I used the same brand on the Interceptor. Loved them then and I love these as well.

I bought the Triumph versions. Love the way it looks! Only down side. They're pointed at the end, so when I swing my leg over to get off the bike I occasionally stab my leg!!! OUCH!

I was terrified of this road when I first started riding. As it happens it's more fun than scary!

Your comment actually got me back into filming more videos. I sold the RE over the winter. I did replace it with a Trident 660. Super fun bike! Thanks for comment!!!

Oh that is a fun bike indeed! Very tourquy and light! @@brelandte Can't wait for more fun rides around the Golden Gate Bridge or towards the redwood trees! I've only seen them in books and movies 🤩

I really didn't see anyway of moving the guages. However, can't verify that as I sold the bike off 6 months ago as well.

Ah geez why did you sell it ?? Also, how did you wire in that LED light for the shorty kit ????

@@samsro2407 Honestly this was my first bike. I wanted to explore and see what else was out there. To be honest. the RE was the perfect bike. I bought a Triumph Trident 660. Great bike! just not as customizable. The shorty kit came from MK designs. It included the instructions and parts needed to wire the tail light. Pretty straight forward and easy.

@@brelandte damn nice bike bro, same this is my first bike !!

@@samsro2407 awesome begiiner bike. You just gotta watch how much money you put into it with the upgrades! LOL! I lost my ass when I sold it because of the upgrades. Had fun though. Wouldn't change a thing. As a side note the TRident is the perfect second bike.... :)

No I didn't, but this is the max this length chain will take. Any bigger than yes you will need a longer chain.
