And then another one. A lovely ride to the picturesque location of Malshej. This is what happenes, when you have a motorcycle that you love, the only thing you can do is get up and ride. Awesome people and their beautiful ladies to keep em warm on a nippy morning. What else could you ask for on a Sunday morning.

Finally on the motorcycle front. Have added the ASV levers. I honestly felt these are stronger and better than the Pazzo levers. The ASV levers come with a 5 year guarantee. And from an aesthetics POV they look pretty cool. On the ergonomics side of things I am able to grip them really well and are extremely comfortable. I chose the regular sized levers as it did not make sense for me to get the shorty levers for the Speed Triple, bearing in mind that the clutch on the babe is pretty tight. And finally added a clutch guide. Ummm, it felt like a colour burst in all her black garb.

Cheers all.

Sad to hear about the rim damage.
Did you claim insurance for the rim? If so, who is your provider and did you have to convince them during the claim?

Re: The Speed Burble!!

Wow !!
That is a big update after quite a lot of time bro.
It is good that beenie is doing up kms. And a special mention to the pics. Beautiful one's. Whoever clicked those knows his shutter power very well.
Sad to hear about the rim getting bent. Hope you are able to sort it out as soon as possible & take beenie to new places.

Re: The Speed Burble!!

Yes. I loved the pics.
How are the k3 tyres holding up ?
I was going through a forum & stumbled upon metzeler m5 interact. These provide awesome wet & dry grip as to only dry grip provided by k3's.
These have the same tread pattern as tyres on the duke 390 which we all swear for its wet grip. When i first rode the duke during the rains i was a bit apprehensive but these tyres were a revelation. Its wet grip is same as the dry grip.
Just pointed this out , I hope it helps you for your next tyre change.
Keep riding brother.

Hey glad you liked the
Pictures.

A valid point on the tires. The K3 mets are pretty awesome. Once war the racetech's do their job to the tee. No complains there at all. There is a lot of feedback from the road. And corners seems like I am on rails. However the comfort is missing and when I say feedback I can feel everything that the tires go through.

Was told to try and get a 50 profile instead of the 55 and change the rubber to Michelins. But i am going to stick to Metzeler 55. The M5 as you suggested are actually good set of tires. Will keep that mind for sure. But mostly will try and the Metzeler M7 RR. It's a newer version than the M5 and are doing really well. For the kind of riding that I do I think these will be good for me. Do have a look. May be you can get them for your KTM as well. Should be an awesome addition to that mad machine.

Cheers man.

Re: The Speed Burble!!

Just revzilled the m7rr & they praise these. M5 is so good but these are a notch better. So it definitly makes a valid point that you should try for a pair of these, why not they are the best for the type of road you will encounter in western india. Hope to see this supporting the beautiful single sided swingarm of beenie

I saw your post in the other forum that you are getting the Versys 650. The Striple's going?

Going to miss the extra power? More travelogues coming?

First time noticing the thread, very beautifully written. Cracked up laughing out loud on the dog and wife bit. And congrats on the bike, she looks stunning...

My dog has zero approval on the bike, was supposed to get an 3 row suv so she could have an entire row during long trips and now she feels cheated everytime i step out and not taking her along. Soon will fulfill that wish aswell.

How's the wind blast ? Considered getting wind shield installed ?

Nice list of accessories you have. M planning a few upgrades, find myself torn trying to prioritize what to go for first and after market isn't exactly flooded given its a Benelli. So far the government has made a killing through Customs tax.

Good luck with your machine and have fun riding.

Hey thank you. The accesories list is never ending.
They wind blast was as bad as any naked. Checked Puig etc and wasn't stomped by anything. Till I saw what Triumph themselves were to offer. Called up the dealer and got this installed. One picture with the bike and another as to how it looks. It sits over the existing stock flyscreen.

Haven't gone a ride yet after installation. But planning to next week. So should be a good test of how that holds up. Again added a bunch of stuff. Will update the thread once after the ride!! For your accesories you can talk to this guy at Bikegear.in I search for stuff and ask him to help me procure. He's transparent and fast with his work.

Cheers mate.

Nice, came across the website from your thread. They are more reasonably priced than sbkstore.in will call and check with him.

Looking for 2xl helmets which they stock. Had been having trouble getting larger sizes in local stores. They don't have anything readily available for benelli though but will check with them. But not willing to part 15-20k on a fly screen

How many kms have you covered till date?

Re: The Speed Burble!!

Forgot to ask, is it a screw type or glue type or the ones which gets bolted to the handlebars? Can you share pics of the mounting?
Most likely I will be fabricating them
