Triumph Trident 660 - What I’ve added/changed

Going over what I’ve added since new. Most are Triumph catalog items as well as the Evo Tech tail tidy and TEC exhaust. I did forget to mention O swapped the silver under seat tray with a red stock version. I just hated the silver.

That Michelin Road 5 looks awesome 👌

[@bouazzamajdoubi7974]

Perfect bike ❤

I watched a video Firetong exhaust on Triumph 660 and they played two different Decibel Killers and the Semi Decibel Killers had a nice balance in tone depth and resonance in my opinion of course. I can provide the link if you are still interested

[@ruahinesrider]

Definitely agree about the grab handles & Evotech Tail tidy making the rear look better.

[@ruahinesrider]

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.

[@brelandte]

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

[@brelandte]

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

[@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.

NICE BIKE TERRY 👍🏼

[@brelandte]

Thank you my newest subscriber!!!

[@atxplus]

Yeah got to go with the frame sliders and the Engine cover. My bike I call it ugly Jane because the dealer sold me the wrong colour. But I managed to save 500 bucks over the new price.

[@brelandte]

Wow! Wrong color?!?!

[@_kaizokuo]

Bro nice mods! how do you clean your manifold tho? so shiny! have the same bike as well :D

[@brelandte]

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....

[@lutronc4412]

you should make a list and put links in with your custom code.

[@Kostas_K24]

Nice work! Have you tried the TEC Quiet Baffle for the exhaust since you say it’s too loud?

[@brelandte]

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

[@Kostas_K24]

@@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.

[@Mr.DavidBrady]

Nice bike Terry! What was the original colour of the tank? Silver? Can’t understand because under tail cover is red) If you want to make this exhaust a bit quieter you can order optional dB killer for it from the UK from TEC Bike Parts (the only downside that they do not ship directly to North America so you’ll have to find re-sender, but there are plenty of those companies on the market)

[@Mr.DavidBrady]

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

[@brelandte]

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.

[@cbuzz2371]

Would have been interesting to hear the bike run with that exhaust

[@brelandte]

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.

[@allgood4716]

Nice 😅

[@derekpang3578]

Its a shame for you that you had to buy your turn signals to replace the OEM Supplied ones. As in Europe they are already OEM

[@brelandte]

Exactly!

[@ruahinesrider]

Triumph have Recalled Trident 🔱 & Tigers 660 for wrong aur intake hose & needs to be swapped with different hose

[@ruahinesrider]

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.

[@brelandte]

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

[@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.

[@ruahinesrider]

@@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.

[@brelandte]

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