Commute Monday, canyon Sunday
2020 Triumph Street Triple 765 RS — One Street Triple for the whole week — protection and comfort for the commute, just enough sharpening for Sunday.
We put this build together from what riders recommend — prices verified Sep 2026.
- Arrow Veloce homologated exhaustBolt-on, no tune needed, keeps the cat. Civil at commute rpm, worth it above six grand.$750
- R&G Aero frame slidersNo-cut install on this bike. The single highest-value part on a daily.$300
- R&G engine case cover kitBoth sides, bolted over the stock cases. Order these with the bike, not after — see story.$200
- R&G radiator guard (RAD0219BK)The radiator sits face-first into everything the front tire throws. Ten-minute install.$110
- Evotech Performance tail tidyPlug-and-play with the stock signals. Removes the mud-flap the factory bolts on for compliance.$240
- Puig New Generation sport screen (naked bikes)Looks slightly dorky, works completely. Chest windblast at 75 mph is the difference between arriving fresh and arriving beaten.$160
- Stompgrip tank grip kitSaves the paint from jeans rivets and saves your arms under braking. Invisible once fitted.$65
- ASV F3 folding lever pairFold in a drop instead of snapping, 3-year crash guarantee. On a commuter this is insurance, not bling.$220
- Michelin Road 6 setSport-touring rubber that grips beyond a sane road pace and lasts roughly twice as long as the stock tires under commuting.$530
How it came together
This bike does about 200 commuting miles a week and one proper canyon run on Sunday, and the build reflects that math. Most of the money went to protection, because the realistic threat to a daily bike isn't a heroic canyon lowside — it's a parking-lot tip-over, a gas-station kickstand miscalculation, or a commuter changing lanes into your morning. I know this because my bike met a gas station curb three months in, two weeks before the case covers arrived. The scratched engine cover cost more to replace than the entire protection order.
The Arrow Veloce is the one indulgence and I'd defend it in court. The 765 triple is one of the great engine sounds and the stock muffler mumbles it; the Arrow is bolt-on, needs no tune, and stays civil below six thousand rpm — which is the entire legal rev range of my commute anyway. Above that, on Sunday, it's the reason the bike exists.
The unsexy stuff earns its place daily. The Puig screen looks slightly dorky on a naked bike and takes a genuine amount of windblast off my chest at 75 — I stopped noticing the looks in a week and never stopped noticing the comfort. Road 6s instead of sport rubber because a sane Sunday pace doesn't out-ride a modern sport-touring tire, and the commute eats tire centers for breakfast; I get roughly double the mileage of the stock rubber. ASV levers because they fold instead of snapping, which on a commuter is not a hypothetical.
