Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Looks rather sensual in black. I'm firming up!


Love the look of the dash.

Oh Happy new bike day for yesterday :-P

It looks GREAT i think they are very smart.

i dont think i could buy a new bike i would have no self control running it in. The monkey in my head would take over 100 yrds down the road

Very nice looking bike that, looks great in Black, loving the colour dash as well

Another 100k's on it now. Duke has had a good go on it as he's here at the moment, he seemed to like it.

Tank pads and a few bits on it now. Couldn't change the mirrors as the bar ends on the 765 seem to be different and have a inner inside the bars i couldn't work out how to remove. More research required.

Just need to keep running it in, but thats no hardship

Don't the mirrors just screw it? That's what I did with my 675, I didn't remove anything from inside the bars. I thought it was the same for the 765s

Did you take the existing bar ends off and expose the tube then push in the new bar ends? Thats what i expected - but doesn't seem that way.

There is a metal part inside the bars on this - i'll take a pic later.

unscrew the bar end and use the screw you get with the mirrors and the mirror infill
you don't need the metal part around the screw, that's for earlier models

You see that metal part in the photo and the tapered end piece? Those are the bits you don't need. Take them off and expose the screw. Then just screw them into the end of the handlebars



The mirror goes up against the end of the bar

Does yours look like this at the ends?

Also my grips don't go to the end of the bars, there is about 1.5 cm of tube at the end after the grip is fitted.

The metal part sticking out of your bar end is further inside on my bar end and I don't have that cut out section.

I've got Rizoma grips on my bike.

If you're struggling to fit them ask on TTRUK (Triumph Triple Riders UK) -Rick will help you out.

It's a lovely bike. Handles, steers and pulls beautifully. Will be a handful when run in.

The finish is top class too.

Feel privileged to have had a ride on Cookies one day old bike. Thanks mate.

Will do - just tried a test fit with your method and the bolt is too long for these - looks like they have changed the design.

I've sent 3 pistons a load of pictures - i'm happy to be involved in a redesign for the new bike - no rush.

Top service from 3 pistons - email back in 5 mins...

I am really sorry but my advice was wrong, Our mirrors don't fit the 765 annoyingly.

I have a back up plan though, R&G sell some bar end sliders for the street triple. Our mirrors will clamp around them so you can fit them to your bars.

If you buy these from your Country, let me know how much you paid and I will refund as it's my mistake.

eBay link...

Blimey, you can't argue with that. Rick seems like a genuine bloke.

Oh and your kit got wet Kwacky

The rain will wash some of the other stains and fluids out.

Your very welcome. These things are to be enjoyed.

Further news on the mirrors. I couldn't get the R&G bar ends in France - R&G don't ship them there.

So i quickly emailed Rick at 3 pistons to check if they were the right ones so i could go looking on French sites.

Low and behold he's ordered them and once he has them will forward them on when he's had a look at them as it may help him change / adjust his design.

Top service!

Top man.

Right, I'm sold. In going to invest in a pair of the 3 pistons for the duke.
