Happy holidays everyone. Welcome to another segment of Goody and my mindless drivel on the 2008 Triumph Street Triple. We try to give you our thoughts about the bike after riding it this past year.

Stay tuned for more on the sit down segments. Don’t know if you guys enjoy these. Let us know! As I said before, it’s rainy season here in the city so we rarely get to take out our bikes. See you soon for more reviews! Oh yeah, see you guys tomorrow at the motorcycle show in San Mateo!

What’s going on riders? I realized that I never showed you guys what the Zard Exhaust sounds like after it was broken in. Since it’s been getting chilly here in the city, we had to put together shots from different times and weather conditions in this video. Enjoy!

While it hasn’t been dyno’d yet, the bike has definitely been given some extra umph. The weight savings itself should make it go just a bit faster. The stainless steel full dual undertail system was swapped for a side exit full system if you remember.

We have a scheduled dyno session coming up soon so stay tuned for the numbers!

Hey guys! As you probably know from GooDy’s post yesterday, we swapped out the brake calipers from my bike and his. We also swapped the master cylinders and clutch levers. I actually think this idea will benefit both of us.

Now that I have stockers on the Street Triple, I can hit up CRG, Pazzo, or ASV for nice slick levers to better match my bike. This modification, along with the previous ones, will make the 2008 Street Triple much more comparable to the 2009 model, which we have every intention of pitting against.

Stay tuned for more guys!

Hey what’s going on guys and gals? I’m back again with my littlest of Triumphs, the Street Triple! I had forgotten how nimble this bike was. I’ve been commuting with it for the last few days, and am falling in love with it all over again.

We did a shoot out between this bike and GooDy’s Daytona 675 a few days back. Look out for that soon. We were seeing with the modifications that we made to this bike could make it keep up with the track focused 675.

But anyways guys, one of the main weaknesses of this bike is the lower spec parts. And as you will see in the 675 shootout, the weakest link was the rear shock. Check out what I did!

The TTX36 Rear Shock was developed using experience from MotoGP, WSBK, and AMA. This hypersport product is probably way beyond what I’ll be using this bike for on the street, but hey, it’s better to have it on tap in case it’s needed then not right?

So while I was a Werkstatt, Jen noticed my full Zard exhaust and pointed out that the end can was pointing up too much and that if it started to rain, the water would build up in the pipe. That’s not goo I thought, so I asked Alex why it was installed this way to begin with. Turns out the aftermarket Gilles rearsets did not accommodate the bracket that came with the Zard so he had to fashion something from some clips.

Anyways, with the riding season coming to a close here in the bay, I thought I’d better do something to fix it. I asked Goody, and he was more than happy to swap his stock rearsets from his Daytona for my Gilles.

I won’t go into a detail installation rant since these rearsets were installed at least three times by the IPM staff here already in the past. But here is a quick picture of what it looks like now. Much more streamlined as the end can is now parallel with the subframe.

Here is an old picture just so you guys can do a comparison. The bike looked “squished” before, don’t you think? I think the bike looks much better now.

Alright guys, stay tuned!
