Fantastic walkthrough. I wasn't fast enough to secure a Matte Black tank and had to settle for a Sapphire Black knowing I will want to change the tank cover later. This is a HUGE help. Now I just need to find where I can get the matte black tank cover. Thanks Again !!

Thank you! Congrats on your Sapphire Black. I originally had that color reserved, but the dealer called me and asked if I'd rather have the silver after a deposit holder had to back out. I jumped on it as the silver is my favorite, but really all four colors look great. I have a feeling it will be awhile before we can order replacement tank covers from the dealer. Might be worth asking your local paint shop to do a matte black paint job for you. But then you would still need to find the giant Triumph logo...

Hahah same here…last two were sapphire black…and I’m not too keen on it, especially on the horizontal red/silver stripe….but if it gets me riding until the tank covers are released.

Thanks for the video. I didn't know that it was a plastic cover. That is good to hear. If I ever drop the bike or scratch the tank cover, at least I know I can just replace it easily.

Thanks so much for posting this! I literally had your video pulled up while I took my tank cover off to run some cables for a phone mount charger. This was made SO much easier because of your video. I may not have even attempted it if you hadn't posted this. Now I feel totally confident and could do it again if I chose to get the heated grips, which I already watched your video of. :D Thanks!!

Thanks. I haven't picked up either of those yet. I'm waiting for Dart Flyscreens to come out with something for the Trident. Still on the fence about the grab rails too. They would be great for getting the bike on a paddock stand, but I'm not sure I like the looks of them. Or I'm not sure I want to change the clean look of the rear end.

Hey, great video. Do you by any chance know why there are no bolts underneath the cover? The holes are clearly visible - 7:44. I am asking becasue today while cleaning my T660 I noticed that left side of the tank cover is slightly loose. It slightly moves when pressing it with a finger. Did you notice it too?
@jrobrides1340
Жыл бұрын
I know what you mean. I thought it was odd that all of the securing bolts were on the front, back, and sides. Yet there is nothing on the bottom. It looks like those holes could be used with something like a plastic pop rivet type of fastener like they use for cars. Mine has a bit of play if I pull on that spot, but it doesn't rattle or move when riding, so I haven't worried about it. Maybe Triumph as going to put something there, found it wasn't necessary, and decided to save a few pennies per bike by leaving them out.

@@jrobrides1340 Thanks a lot for your replay. Mine also has a bit of play when pulling/pushing but only on the front left side. Right side is rigid/fixed. Maybe the reason is huge amount of cables driven on the left side of the tank. :)

@@AlexCopenhagen I prefer to leave it on. It's providing some protection for some of those electronics. It also is more comfortable for your legs when gripping the tank. There is a seam that goes all the way around the tank and it sticks out.
