When you do a video on the accessories added, it's always helpful to add info to the description and especially helpful to add links.

Nice Paul! Really nice!

[@tomstc]

That sounds awesome, I am partial to a loud exhaust

[@eddiehall1964]

Wonderful sound👍

[@PaulBilton]

Thank you very much.

[@hashime8794]

Nice Button loud !

[@0HARE]

Very nice mods you’ve done there. I really like what you’ve done with your XE. I want to install those slash cut pipes on my XE, but, wow,how loud they are! Are they any cooler to the touch than the stock pipes? If so, the cooler temperature, and the lighter weight might justify the louder pipes. All in all, though, Triumph have created a masterpiece with this bike.

[@tskorka1000]

Man I wish I was a little bit taller. I love the 1200 Scrambler but it's too tall for me so I got the T120. No regrets really but the Scrambler is just so freaking awesome! Gorgeous mods!

[@PaulBilton]

Thanks for watching. 😊

[@ScramblerTales]

Do not apologize that your Scrambler is dirty.✅ Looks best like that. Mine is always in a state of very dirty🤘. I would love to have the slash cut and decat the bike as well. But here in Switzerland if I get caught the coppers take the bike.... and with a heavy fine on top. I have now 35000 km on it and I am still not bored🏁

[@PaulBilton]

Hi and thanks for watching. Wow that sounds very harsh regarding the police. Wow I would be screwed lol 😂

[@ScramblerTales]

@@PaulBilton Yes swiss police is very strict. Even in the summer on our famous alp passes they catch foreigners. If you like check out my bike as well on my channel. What I highly recommend is that you get the Barkbusters handguards if you go grennlines. The OEMS break really fast just a little drop and they break off, including most of the time break or clutch lever as well.

[@PaulBilton]

@Scrambler Tales Thank you for the info, I'll check them out. I'll check out your channel as well. 👍

[@HePants]

Sounds top !

[@PaulBilton]

Thank you :)

[@x-man5056]

DEFINITELY remove the Cat like you said. (and add the Booster plug) Best thing you can do for performance and engine longevity. I have an SS 900 and kept the stock cans. I really like the look of the BC slash-cuts but I wish to preserve the ability to carry a passenger of female design. It's not too loud, it's just right. Stock cans are strait through also with only a slight restrictor.

[@MrWestcliffe]

Thanks for showing your bike. Very nice. I'm about to get one myself, but have not decided just yet for XE or XC. But it might be XC will be enough for me as I'm only 6ft and very little off-roading if any...the pipes are loud but missing the deep sound. But its just me.

[@PaulBilton]

Thanks for watching - the bike is great, you will no doubt enjoy it loads. The Zard exhausts are really nice

[@0HARE]

@@PaulBiltonWhat are the Zard exhausts?

[@PaulBilton]

@@0HARE hi, this is not a Zard exhaust. This is the slash cut from Total Triumph. Cheers!

[@d.Cog420]

Thanks very much for showing your mods, the bike looks fantastic. You mentioned a couple of electrical gremlins, would you be able to expand on that a bit?

[@PaulBilton]

Hi and thanks for watching, much appreciated! The gremlins I was referring to were related to the traction control & ABS randomly erroring and disabling itself (OCABS Disabled).As well as getting the OCTC Disabled error message as well. Most worrying. The dealer never seems to be able to fix it.

[@d.Cog420]

@@PaulBilton Thanks for the reply Paul and grrr, we're just waiting on stock to arrive in my country and I was going to purchase one and pretty much mod it as you have but not if it has glitches on this first version. I've read a couple of other reports of the ignition fob playing up too and electrical problems are a big nuisance, particularly if intermittent. Losing traction control and abs potentially more than a nuisance! I'm a mature rider (in age at least) and aren't that keen on a thousand electronic aids to get you down the road in the first place and if the things aren't trustworthy it kind of puts a spanner in it a bit. Will keep an eye on your channel for future updates or comments. Thanks again for your time.

[@PaulBilton]

@@d.Cog420 it’s probably worth mentioning as well that my bike was one of the very first ones made. So if you’re purchasing now I personally wouldn’t worry too much because they’ve should’ve had time to sort it all out by now. Overall it’s a fantastic bike. Stay in touch and let me know how you get on. All the best!!

[@d.Cog420]

@@PaulBilton well I picked one up a couple of weeks ago and am still grinning from ear to ear. Here in New Zealand there are a lot of gravel roads and we've been exploring some with a mate on his German thing. Just a couple of further question on the pipes if you don't mind, do you still have them on or has the noise proven too much? Did you ever look at universal baffles? How is the performance, fuel economy and throttle response? And a question on the high front guard: do you find you and/or the radiator get covered with spray when in bad weather or off road? Thanks Paul.

[@iainwalkingshaw1006]

@@PaulBilton Does it happen after hard acceleration. Triumph Explorers were bad for that happened to me a few times and others on the TEX forums. Only had my XC for a week awesome bike.

[@TheWanderingCheetahCam]

I really want to do this to mine!

[@PaulBilton]

Go for it, but just be prepared to use ear plugs lol Thanks for watching!!

[@kayzimmermann1604]

Hi there did you install any spacers to fit the bartend mirrors including the hand guards ? Got my scrambler today and the ad said it is not possible to go for bartend mirrors and hand guards at the same time …. Much appreciate an answer Best Kay

[@aidanreilly5469]

I ordered a slash cut exhaust from Total Triumph last night, I'm now worried it's going to be too loud. I don't plan to de-cat so hopefully that'll help.

[@owenfarmer4197]

Cor what time do you leave for work….

[@paruco66]

The handling of the bike is even much better and easier with the Anakee Adventure tires from Michelin. They look cool on the bike as well. The factory tire Tourance from Metzeler is except for the look definitely not the best choice for this particular bike. Try out the Anakees on your Scrambler and you will experience a total different bike handling, especially when surfing curves.

[@PaulBilton]

Thanks for the advice. And thanks for watching

[@darioossola8761]

Nice one, can I ask what’s the brand and model of the bar end mirror?

[@PaulBilton]

Hello! Thanks for watching. They made by TEC, here is the link for you >> www.tecbikeparts.com/product/e-mark-extended-mirrors-scrambler/

[@davegordon9426]

Your bike looks and sounds great, but very loud. Which baffles did you use and were you able to install them after the pipes were on?

[@PaulBilton]

Thanks for watching. I used the baffles that came supplied either pipes. I had to machine them a little so they fitted nicely. I also had to fit them before the install as well, much easier that way, due to the position of the fixing bolt next to the rear shock.

[@mattymcclure1]

Any experience with a passenger with the pipe? Sp engineerings slash cut pipe is a little longer so i am wondering if i should do that. They are just always sold out

[@PaulBilton]

Sorry unfortunately not. My wife refuses to go pillion now

[@d.Cog420]

Just a heads up Paul, a few of us are experiencing minor electrical gremlins like the abs you mentioned and indicator malfunctions and warnings too. From a triumph forum it looks like there's a software update to fix this. The dealers should have it soon if not already.

[@PaulBilton]

Thanks for the information. Bloody annoying isn’t it. Literally within 5minutes of leaving the dealership I was experiencing problems. Bit of a shame really

[@PaulBilton]

Btw, do you have the forum link plz?

[@d.Cog420]

@@PaulBilton I've had the ABS once and the indicators a few times. Not a major but annoying. How are you finding the pipes and the noise level? Thinking of purchasing and maybe getting some baffles made.

[@alessandrozorzoli9602]

Hi Paul, i got the same exhaust + Zard decat, did you remap?

[@PaulBilton]

Hi, Thanks for watching. No I didn't need to, I just let the bike idle for a while so it could re-tune itself.

[@pelvishakerg271]

Take us for a ride mate!

[@PaulBilton]

You’ll need ear plugs lol

[@ginoasci2876]

Where did you buy the driving lights in front and how much did they cost ? I left the stock exhaust on mine. It’s sounds great.

[@PaulBilton]

Hi, the extra lights are an option from Triumph

[@ginoasci2876]

@@PaulBilton : triumph sells them for $525, did you pay that ?

[@owenfarmer4197]

Good video, that exhaust is just asking for Po Po to give you a free MOT.

[@AAproductions1994]

I installed mine and noticed in your thumbnail that there is a little bit of melting on your rear spring. Is there a fox for this? Mine is melting a good bit

[@PaulBilton]

Hi, and thanks for watching. Up until you've pointed this out I don't think I've ever realised this is where the mark is coming from. It does wipe off for me, but yeah I think your right, its the spring...oops. I will check it's all ok!

[@AAproductions1994]

@@PaulBilton any update on the melting? Mine is doing the same

[@thomasfmitchell]

Hi Paul, Did you notice any adverse effects of having a decat and slash cuts? Alot of people on the internet are going on about back pressure, power loss, etc. Can you share your experience?

[@PaulBilton]

Hi Thomas, Thanks for watching. I have noticed only a small amount of low down torque loss, but only minor. However I have noticed a BIG high end rush of power when near the top end, which feels really good. I hope this information helps you.

With my street scrambler with decat it became a pig down low🙄

Hey, just wondering, i have an XC, and i would like to add the extra lights. I have the button already on the left switch, next to cruise control. Can i add the light myself? Or do i need to go through the dealer?

[@PaulBilton]

Entirely up to you really. After seeing them installed I would probably fit them myself. It all looks quite straight forward to do.

[@SuperFryn]

@@PaulBilton I have the service manual. Would need to check the procedure!

[@PaulBilton]

@@SuperFryn When you get the lights they should come with some sort of instructions, which are normally quite good. For an alternative have you checked out the Denali lights ?

Does putting on the slash cut exhaust take away any possibility of a passenger?

[@PaulBilton]

Yes, I would say so. Because the exit of the exhaust would be right where their leg would be

[@Brisco1983]

How about having a passenger still?

[@cscutler]

Do you write a passenger from time to time does the cut off pipe get hot For the passenger ?

It does a little yes. Thank you for watching!!

Those pipes won't pass MOT will they?

Lets hope so ;)
