    The good folks at Heli Modified sent us a pair of their beautiful TracStar clip-ons. We decided to install them onto our Triumph Daytona 675 Project Bike. Check out the video for the comparison to stock and for the installation process. Stay tuned for our test video when we take the 675 to the track!

    Visit www.HeliBars.com for more of their precision made products.

    Thanks again Heli Modified!

    The following was taken directly from their site.

    HeliBars handlebars give you a better, more comfortable riding position so you can tack on the miles and leave pain in the dust. And whether you’re standing at a stop light in town or flying down a long lonesome desert highway, precision-built HeliBars transform and improve your bike’s handling and performance. More than just drop-dead gorgeous, HeliBars meticulous hand-crafted designs are the pinnacle of style and performance. When it comes to safety, precision engineered HeliBars improve your control and reduce fatigue for safer riding and long-distance touring.

    The TracStar will fit on

    - 2006/08 Suzuki GSXR600 / 750
    - 2006/08 Triumph 675 Daytona
    - 2005/06 Honda CBR600RR
    - 2007/08 Honda CBR600RR
    - 1999/07 Suzuki Hayabusa
    - 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa
    - 2005/08 BMW K1200S
    - 2007/08 Ducati 1098

    An innovative new design with improved street comfort.

    Heli Modified believes you should have your cake and eat it too because, “Performance shouldn’t be painful”

    Our design guru, Harry Eddy, has once again applied his 360° Design approach to produce the first in a new line of one piece alloy HeliBars.

    CNC carved from a single 6061 extruded aluminum billet, the new TracStar clip-ons allow optimal placement of controls in a cramped environment. Because there are no handlebar tube mounting clamps attached to the fork tube clamps, the master cylinders and switch gear can be mounted closer to the top triple clamp. This single feature optimizes bar angles, height and width changes.

    -42.5 mm (1.670″) taller at the damper end
    -10 mm (3/8″) taller at the fork tube
    -25 mm 1″ wider at 27 inches
    -One piece seamless design
    -As always, pre-drilled for control housings. A true direct replacement design.
    -Retains factory damper weights
    -Billet reservoir mount included
    -Retains all stock cables and hydraulic lines.

      Soupy’s Performance Fully Adjustable Lowering Link

      Check out what the good folks at Soupy’s Performance sent us. It’s a fully adjustable lowering link for the Triumph Street Triple or Daytona 675.

      This is a threaded style lowering link that does NOT require going through the re-installation process again and again to make adjustments. With this lowering link, you simply make a few turns of the hex body to adjust the height. Other lowering links only allow you to adjust to fixed heights at -1″, -2″, -3″, or -4″. With the Soupy’s Performance lowering link, you can achieve the exact height desired, anywhere in between and up to -4″!

      Check them out at www.soupysperformance.com

      This was originally supposed to go onto the Street Triple, but there was an incident. Read about it here.

      Stay tuned for the installation video onto the Daytona 675 Project Bike.

        As promised, here is the LighTech Racing Gas Cap Installation video. It was actually a pretty simple modification to make. Now, all it takes is a press and twist to remove the gas cap. Very handy for track days and races.
