*** Show us your bikes! ***

Yup, booking it in to Triumph hopefully for next weekend so they can have a look. Putting the tail tidy on made me see it. Had a look and can't see how I can adjust them myself :(
 
You can't, it's a really common problem with the arrow exhausts and if you look closely nearly all the street and speed triple exhausts are wonky.

Source: 2 triumph garages in Switzerland. The owner at one of them is really annoyed by it as he says lots of people complain.
 
I would, they may offer a replacement that's a better fit as it seems some people have managed to get straight ones. They could try bending the pipe but I'm not a fan of that, I'd rather leave it slightly off.

My Leo vince exhausts are level vertically but slightly off horizontally.
 
just undo the mounting bolt and pull down gently on the end can,re tighten the bolt

do same for opposite can but push up slightly and retighten,should even it out

or the left indicator wants bending up slightly?

That'd give the illusion of them being straight which I'd be happy with if triumph can't sort it. It's definitely not the indicators as I can feel the gap between exhaust and frame is smaller on the left.

Could do, but think I'll get Triumph to do the dirty work as its so new, hopefully they can look and sort while I wait.

Doesn't work for horizontal wonkiness on these bikes though, but you can normally fix the vertical levels like that.

That's the common complaint they can't fix.

I'll speak to them anyway. If they can't do anything, I'll just bend my indicator bracket or adjust it somehow to give the illusion of straightness :p

Has to be done, not that I'm bragging or want to keep posting pics or anything :p

Tail tidy on. Went for a ride towards the Cotswolds today down the Fosse.

Lovely looking bike. Funnily enough I put my 899 in for service at Leeds Ducati and they gave me the 600... street triple? I actually thought it wasn't too bad, would have loved a go on the speed. Was nice to ride and not get off feeling crippled ha!
 
I'm 6ft 1", but amazingly enough, although it's small, it just as comfortable as the 'RR. I think it's cause it's quite tall.

The stock can sounds amazing to be honest, but yeah there will be a Akrapovic going on soon :D . The AR is lovely... just a little loud to loud, wouldn't get near any track days or 'Ring (and no doubt be pulled by every copper within 10miles).
