PROJECT SPEED TWIN ⚡️🏁

We let Oli aka 'Revs' on the tools to see if he could handle this DIY project to implement various bolt on parts. He got to work on his Speed Twin with parts including the X pipe from Motone and front and rear suspension from Nitron.
Not for the faint hearted, watch and see how he got on.. Unfortunately we couldn't help as we had our hands full filming...

Thank you! Apart for the relaxed informative video I appreciate it that no curse words were used and above all no blasphemy (super rare these days!) Blessings!

[@davidmohr4004]

Great build! Fun video to watch...presentation was just as many of us DIYers have to do...fiugure it out as we go along! Cheers!

Lovely looking bike mate , two into one on the exhaust looks though I’d say . Great video .

Beautyfull 😍😎👍🏻

[@TheBruteOne]

She looks great, especially the cans! I love my Speed Twin too and started to change some parts with original Triumph spare parts since there are right now not so much custom parts of 3rd vendors out there, first I did change the tail tidy with a solution from an vendor from Australia especially made for the Speed twin, the indicators, and some cosmetics, as the black lamp house to one in ice grey, a Triumph spare part from the street twin cafe racer as well as the wind shield, also in ice grey from the street twin, LED front lamp, etc., next project will be a new pipe, I wanna do it step by step to collect ideas and think what would match to the bike without destroying its characteristics

[@BaffleHaus]

Sounds great! Thanks for checking out our build, hope it’s given you some ideas. Motone are doing some epic parts for this particular model. 👍🏻🏁

[@azmanmohd8399]

Great looking bike !!! 😍😍😍👍👍👍

[@BaffleHaus]

Agreed!

[@Fr99763]

Add the Arton dials to your instruments. Nice bike!

[@adamniswonger8015]

For a DYI’er, you can crank the preload on the rear shocks. Then take only one off at a time and re-install one at a time, while on the side stand. Bike will minimally drop on the RH side, so do that first.

[@BaffleHaus]

Thanks Adam. We’re very lucky to have Nitron on hand to help us out but I’m sure this will be great advice for our viewers.

[@francis-kz2en]

The is Very veryNice. Spitze

[@SquireSCA]

How did you tune it? Mufflers and the decat together, has to change the gas flow a good bit. If it changes it enough to feel a performance difference, then it changed it enough that it would need some fueling changes. The 12 minute tune really only makes minimal changes down low... It won't make any changes up top or when the throttle is open more than 20%. Looks amazing!

[@BaffleHaus]

We didn’t tune the bike and tbh we probably didn’t quite get to twist her fully open either! For our riding it didn’t sound or feel like it needed the tuning but completely agree from a performance POV no doubt there’s more to get from this machine.

[@timothybrockbank7474]

That’s one nice looking machine

We think it’s pretty cool too 👊🏼

[@nickdolan7710]

You know I've had a lot of bikes and this one though not top end fast is the most fun. Areally goodpowerto weight ratio and great handlinf especially with the Nitron setup. I had to get the heavier shocks cuz i weigh 250 lbs. haha I guess im just at the edge of being too big for this bike but I can always lose weight but a Harley is ugly forever!

[@eduardosilva7304]

Great job! You just didn't mencion the changes to the standatd seat, it looks more comfortable and got nice looks

Check out their current range, there's loads of new parts out now! Nitron are great.

[@cbschrader]

I knew it. A bike that good looking must have come from the future! And you confirmed it at 9:51 in the video.

[@BaffleHaus]

Ha thanks!

[@davehall2768]

Liked the video. Is the seat more comfortable than the stock seat? Thanks, looking forward to more videos.

[@BaffleHaus]

Revs tells us the seat is way more comfortable and looks better. Thanks for this great feedback and stay tuned for more!

[@chipneal]

Very nice. Would love to know how you like the suspension!

[@BaffleHaus]

Suspension is great quality and performance. Honestly can’t fault it.

[@frederickwoods5943]

I just put a Crafton Atalier seat on my 2020 Speed Twin. Nice seat but the rear bracket/catch (seat lock) on the seat had to be adjusted forward a quarter inch (6mm); the front bracket is hardened Stainless, strong but I added a rubber pad so the seat would sit tight next to the gas tank. I didn't have the option of moving the seat forward because it was already rubbing the tank out of the box. Most accessories need some honing and fitment; I recommend the Crafton seat over Corbin, etc.

[@BaffleHaus]

@@frederickwoods5943 thanks for sharing your experience Frederick, our fitting was straight forward with no issues.

[@GingerDownUnder]

What’s that watch you are wearing?

[@iainwaterston7476]

Nice bike, I was about to get my headlight it bracket powder coated but I see the one you have fitted lowers it slightly too. Where is it from? Would love it for my bike 👍

[@BaffleHaus]

It’s a motone part 👌🏼

[@arisafghanzada]

When swapping in the X-pipe and motone exhaust, did you also need to adjust the fuel map somehow?

[@BaffleHaus]

EFI adjusts itself, we were recommended to leave the bike idle for 10 mins without 'smashing' the throttle.

[@robrockatansky5905]

Looking at the Motone site... are you using parts from a different model bike that fit the Speed Twin?

[@BaffleHaus]

All parts were for the Speed Twin, check out motone for their latest parts, some great new ones.

[@xiammikebx]

I have looked all over for that Motone headlight bracket and cannot find it (also that gas cap)! Where can I find them?

[@BaffleHaus]

A few of the parts were prototype parts from Motone so send those guys a DM And I’m sure they can hook you up!

[@Sigmann85]

What gas-cap do you have on? - Is it the Motone? I know there's will fit, but there they warned me that there would be a weird ridge thing, which is exposed on the speed twin when you remove the stock cover. Is that what you can see 9.29 min in? - Love the build by the way :) Looks great

[@BaffleHaus]

Yes it’s the Motone one and they have a small alloy ring in prototype stage to supply with the gas cap for the speed twin in the near future to help tidy the look up. Thanks 👌🏼🔥

[@MarkSmith-zc2yg]

When do we get to see the bike ridden? + spill the beans on the tank paint job... who did it and what was the cost?

[@BaffleHaus]

Hey Mark, we're yet to get the bike filmed firing on all cylinders but it's an impressive bike and smashed the shakedown! I don't have the exact details to hand on the paint job, if you email [e-mail] we'll happily sort your enquiry there.

[@LeftHandCustoms]

@@wandering_armadillo smellier? Mine doesn't smell at all. What kind of fuel do you use?

[@wandering_armadillo]

@@LeftHandCustoms The third most expensive one at the pump (91 Octane I think in Canada). I expect some excess pollution as the cat is gone I guess. Is my bike running too rich? I have very little mechanical know how, yet love the way she runs and crackles 😉

[@LeftHandCustoms]

@@wandering_armadillo I run mine on 95, the highest I can find here, but it is the first time I hear someone talking about the smell, maybe you should try a higher octane fuel.

[@donjingle4059]

Hello Baffle Culture, Have you ever seen signs of coolant leaking from the small hole in the middle of the oil pan under your speed twin?

[@07mkazel]

Hey man. What fuel cap is that? I want to change mine out but not sure which one will fit it.

[@BaffleHaus]

Hey, sorry for the late reply! Check out Motone Customs.

[@micbavo]

Sweet bike. I have a 21 Speed Twin and I want the motone or cone eng. shorty exhaust. My girl and I ride a lot and we are comm'd up. Do you think these are too loud?

[@BaffleHaus]

No, not too loud, perfect level ;)

[@xiammikebx]

Also, he did not mention what he did to the side covers. Did he just remove the silver badges and rattle can them black (flat black?)?

[@BaffleHaus]

He did indeed. Probably better to get professional paint on them! 😄
