Hi.. I am surprised at how "surprised" people are at Black and Brown working together.!? Think of endless breeds of Dog.. black and tan.. almost all thoro'bred racehorses are Bay horses, aka Brown with Black points [lower legs, mane and tail..] I was around for the original Cafe' scene all those years ago.. there was NO old school. It simply didn't exist. If a guy put new "Ace" bars on a worn-out old twin.. Bingo.! Cafe Racer.. and the talk of the Cafe crowd. That scene. Wishful thinking perhaps.? WF
Not really, brown and black does not go usually well together, every person who knows something about design will tell you that... ;-) But here brown is so dark, it looks almost like different shade of black from a distance...
Been planning on getting this bike for a long time and this is pretty much exactly how I've been trying to configure it via the Triumph site - except in green. Really glad you produced this video AND that we clearly share the same sense of scrambler style. Has just gotten me even more pumped for the day I finally own one.
Brilliant! Subtle changes (except that wonderful exhaust) made that bike even more beautiful! I love the colour scheme and the new seat it really makes the difference. Great as usual!
This bike inspired me to get my Scrambler. I m started my channel to journal my adventures. Looking forward to seeing you all in LA! Thanks for the inspiration.
Fabulous looking and sounding bike Dutch - nice job! I loved the Street Scrambler when I had the pleasure of borrowing one last year....very tempted by what you've done here, not beyond a technical numpty like me to replicate what you've done, hmmmm....
Brilliant looking and sounding bike, that is a great all rounder. What more could you ask for ? If Steve McQueen was alive he would want it. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
On a scale of 1-10, your bike is an 11. If I find my way to a SS, I’d do 95% of the same mods. Pipe sound is too good; neighbors would hate me. Love it.
Black and brown is the combo I went for with my street twin... looks great! 👌 loving your videos, using them as inspiration for what to change on my bike so keep them up! 👍
Love the video guys. You should compile a list in the description from where you've purchased all the parts (not from the cataloge) or whom you reference in the video in terms of third-party works on the bike. Love this channel :)
I AM GLAD YOU STARTED IT UP !!! I was WAITING for it. Suspense was killing me! G8 review. Thank you. Question PLEASE. Can one still purchase THAT particular exhaust, or has it been 'canned'? Regards from 'OZ'.. (Australia)
Looks cool and sounds great congrats. I’m torn between the street twin and scrambler as my next bike. Been commuting on a Suzuki 125 for 18 months and decided I need something bigger and more comfortable.
Hi Dutch, I’ve done all those things to my bike, Triumph certainly missed a trick on blacking out the headlamp bracket I think. I agree the seat looks good in dark brown, more old school. I’m going to a car trim shop to get my seat done, as it’s comfortable , which some custom seats are not. I’ve installed a K &N filter and the throttle is much crisper. Now she sucks well(😜) and breathes well. Is the bar brace and pad a Triumph catalogue part? I’ll have to speak to my dealer. Got the R&G tail tidy on mine and a small plate, net result = shit all up my back and helmet. Oh well, form over function as always.
That's a beautiful bike and the thing you did with the tank is very inspiring. I got a grey ST. I wonder how it will look like on grey if i do the same :) The only thing that catches my eyes is the grey sprocket at the back. It will be great if it was black too.
Man I was considering selling my '07 Daytona as it had problem after problem (and was recently stolen and recovered thanks to the tracker I have fitted) and wanted to get a T100 black, and a lot of the parts you've fitted are pretty much identical to the ones I wanted, only problem is it'll probably cost ~£12,000 with labour added in if I were to get all the bits I want. Biking is a fickle mistress :(
Bike Shed Motorcycle Club I would, but I'm really not a fan of the pipe placement nor the knobblies, it would be a waste as I'd never take it even remotely off road
Love this video and the one of Dan's T100. Watching them over for inspiration. Would love to fit those TKC80 tires to my new Black T100. Do you know what size you got that fit?
Street Scrambler wheel sizes are different from the T100, so you'd need to google the rim size, width and recommended tyre wall height for your bike, and stick to those dimensions with the TKCs.
Further to this, the stock sizes on the pirelli phantoms which come stock are 100/90 - 18 for the front and 150/70 - 17 for the rear. Dutch’s Street scrambler has a 19 inch front as opposed to the T100’s 18 inch front so he runs 110/80 - 19 there and a 150/80 - 17 on the rear. TKC don’t do an 18 for the front but some people run a rear although it’s not ‘technically’ advised. The sizes I run on my T100 are 110/80 - 18 and a 160/60 on the rear and those are Pirelli MT60RS. Lots of numbers there, but hope that helps! Glad you like the videos. [Dan]
I have the same bike and it's great! until you forget to turn off the traction control and try to climb a fairly steep hill off road and the tire starts to spin half way up and the bike shuts down because of said traction control causing you and the bike to high side and slide down the hill. There is just no need for traction control on a scrambler, thank god I put on the factory engine guards because they actually worked and saved my cases. The bike faired way better than I did! I also found out that when the bike is on it's side on a steep hill it is virtually way to heavy to pick up by yourself, thankfully a guy was out shooting and saw me go down and helped me out, even brought me a brewski, which I desperately needed! JUST REMEMBER TO TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL WHEN OFF HIGHWAY!
Bike looks great I plan to fit the Vance and Hines to my Green One all the the Ones I have seen have the ugly black heat shield is yours the Street Twin exhaust and did it need to be modified to fit?
Hi Dutch, I put a street twin right hand side panel on mine, its for same exhaust and looks much better and you will have metal heats guard that came with exhaust,
Amazing job that you've done with this bike! Congrats! How did you manage to fix the rear black plastic cover without the bolts coming from the silver aluminum piece that goes on top???
I have the same bike with same Vance & Hines exhorst and love it just as much as you do. Awesome bike! How did you remove the baffle? I read somewhere that it couldn´t be don on the european version of the exhorst, but only on the american version. I am a bit curious, becourse I really love the sound on yours.
@@BikeShedMotoCo Ok. I bought mine in 2018, so that might be the reason it sounds lower. Or it could just be the aucoustics of the surroundings. Thanks for the answer and a great video.
Hi Dutch love the bike , just fitted this same exhaust to my street scrambler.. did you get yours remapped by triumph? Seems to run ok . Did you match with a k+n . Thanks
Hi Dutch. Good video, thanks & no thanks...... it just persuaded me to trade in my Street Twin for a Scrambler this afternoon!!! :). I get to take it away on Saturday - can’t wait to hear the pipe. Out of interest have you found a good air filter yet? You mentioned you would look at one, I’m interested to see if you found a good one. Pls let me know.
I'm told that a filter won't do much more, What this bike needs is a less restrictive cam - one day I'll get one, but they're not ready for this model, yet.
Thanks for the video, Dutch! Watched it several times until I ended up ordering the Scrambler myself - with pretty much same gear as you - pipe, brace, tyres, tail removal kit etc. (all from Triumph).. So ... do you sport a number plate or did you also just scuff up the plastic cover on the left side of the bike?
Inspections (MOTs) in the UK seem tough. The government should cut you guys some slack, especially with the high taxation and fuel prices that are in place. Exhaust sounds great BTW! 🏁
Great choice of accesoiries that makes it look so much better than the original! I went with almost all the same options on mine. Can’t find anything simple and neat to replace my fuel cap though : would you mind sharing where you got your from?
Great bike! Would you be able to share the part number or a link for the Triumph Mirrors? I have looked everywhere online, but cant find those exact ones. Thanks!
Hi Dutch, have the same bike with the same exhaust, 99% similar to yours... I cannot agree more on what you said. One question: did you consider to paint with black matte ceramic coating the two panels applied to the VH exhaust? The idea is chilling in my brain for a while by now and would be great to have your opinion. Did not see any on the web like that. Thanks! G
Dutch, as you know (given the custom paint job, awesome btw) they are releasing 2019 scramblers. I'd like to matte black one fully...would you give me an idea of how to go about that with the new paint schemes? Matte Khaki green/silver and white seem like tough choices...should I just buy a black 2018 and go from there? I like the upgrades they've made for 2019, but the paint schemes aren't doing it for me...
Mine was originally matte khaki green with matte black tail, mudguard and side panels. To get the finish I wanted, in the end I substituted the green tank for a "spare" from a matte black Street Twin. Not everyone has the resources to do that though - however, I could have had the tank wrapped matte black for about £150.
I would do that deal easily. I'm torn though. I feel like I could save money, possibly, by buying this year's black model next year. But the new brakes, instrument panel, and power are intriguing. Two more questions, could you wrap the tank from across the pond considering I am in Washington DC and two, I would be better suited to get the green/silver new bike because it would be easier to wrap, correct? Plus it has the black accents versus the new white. Or does it not matter because the wrap will cover any color?
@bikeshedmotorcycleclub i was wondering the same thing, it looks sooo badass with that sanded matte finish...it looks right up to the decal, must have been removed?
This would be a great first bike but if you want something smaller and lower, look at the smaller capacity Ducati Scramblers or an XSR700. For lower prices Royal Enfield are great value and the new 650 packs a punch.
Christopher Chedzoy haha, we always get asked! It’s from: www.squaredeals-ltd.co.uk/retractable-gas-cap-for-the-triumph-twins--triples-black-25097-p.asp I believe British Customs sell the same one too dependent on where you are in the world. Glad you like the vids too! [Dan].
Dutch, its an incredible bike. It really has character. Regarding the pipes, were there any issues with fitting them? Were any adaptions needed? Also has it been remapped?
No issues, but you do need the sidepanel, and you do leave the OEM mounts hanging empty. If I was a stickler for detail I'd grind them off. Mapping is adaptive and it seems to have self adjusted.
Bike Shed Motorcycle Club superb!! Thanks for the info. Really helpful. I'm hoping to sell my Striple this weekend and then replace it with a SS, think the pipe change will be the first job on the list. Will let you know how I get on. Also hoping to come along to the Lydden Hill Cafe Racer Cup as a spectator. Will be great to see.
Hey Dutch thanks for the great video, you inspired me to get my own scrambler and I love it. I was wondering where you got your fuel tank cap and front mud guard from?
This bike inspired my purchase of a SS and the mods I've since made. Thanks! PS .. did you ever swap out the indictors and try an aftermarket air filter?
dutch's videos on the SS sold me as well!! i've made similar mods to mine and it looks + runs amazing...would like to hear if anyone has swapped out stock air filter on SS for aftermarket?
Hi Dutch et all, I really love this brown seat.. any idea, where I could get this for my Triumph Thunderbird? Does anyone know, what kind of color code this brown has got? Thanks, Cheers, Sven
Mark hey Mark, Dan here. Dutch will likely not see this at the moment however I rode it a few times so I’ll respond. Yes it’s the pre 2019. Power increase was negligible if any in real world scenarios. Maybe a slightly crisper throttle response if you’re really looking. The main reasons for the upgrade to me are the weight savings, sound and look of this exhaust. However if you’re considering one, make sure it’s the right one. These are discontinued and harder to come by being the cat-less version. I think you can tell by the black heat shield the newer catted versions have. The part number should be A9600620. Link here : www.fowlersparts.co.uk/parts/view/A9600620 Hope that helps! Dan.
Brown and black look amazing together, especially on a bike.
LOL Please tell Vikki. She's not a fan!
Hi.. I am surprised at how "surprised" people are at Black and Brown working together.!?
Think of endless breeds of Dog.. black and tan.. almost all thoro'bred racehorses are Bay horses, aka Brown with Black points [lower legs, mane and tail..]
I was around for the original Cafe' scene all those years ago.. there was NO old school. It simply didn't exist.
If a guy put new "Ace" bars on a worn-out old twin.. Bingo.! Cafe Racer.. and the talk of the Cafe crowd. That scene.
Wishful thinking perhaps.?
WF
Not really, brown and black does not go usually well together, every person who knows something about design will tell you that... ;-) But here brown is so dark, it looks almost like different shade of black from a distance...
Brown and Black can look great together.
That is to say, a black bike with a brown leather seat.
This is becoming my favorite channel, Love the passion Brits have for motorcycles. Well done! Beautiful bike!
If Steve McQueen was still here....this is what his personal daily bike would look like.
Ah, no.
You comment that on every scrambler video. Get new material

Fantastic job on your Street Scrambler, Dutch. It’s very close to the path I’m on with my own. Thanks for sharing!
Fabulous looking and sounding bike Dutch - nice job! I loved the Street Scrambler when I had the pleasure of borrowing one last year....very tempted by what you've done here, not beyond a technical numpty like me to replicate what you've done, hmmmm....
loved your review on it! You should totally go for it!
TheMissendenFlyer that's just what I was thinking! Ask Triumph to sponsor you a home build series...
Do it, TMF.
Brilliant looking and sounding bike, that is a great all rounder. What more could you ask for ? If Steve McQueen was alive he would want it. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Looks fantastic and prob the best triumph bike to date. Looking forward to the air filter update 👍 staff bike updates are great.
I love what I've done with this Triumph Street Scramble. It looks & sounds Fantastic. A great job..

That is a bad ass bike!!! Awesome sound!!!
I got one of these with the fox and the exhaust for a bargain and its fantastic, better bike than I expected to be able to buy
Black and brown is the combo I went for with my street twin... looks great! 👌 loving your videos, using them as inspiration for what to change on my bike so keep them up! 👍
The black and tan look great!
AWESOME MOTORCYCLE JOB!!! INCREDIBLE SOUND. THAT I S A REAL BEAUTY, MATE!!
That bike looks and sounds amazing. I have to have one.
The sound of the bike at the end was amazing! Congrats on the bike man👍
Looks brilliant.
I could have done with another few minutes of that sound at the end!
Under load...
The mat black and dark brown leather look great. Don't let anyone else tell you different 👍
Air filter doesn't do much. It's the restrictive camshaft which is the problem. Lovely bike. Thanks for the vid
I hear rumours of a hotcam kit in production from one of the aftermarket crews... If they do one, I'll test it.
Please pass on any tests or info on a cam upgrade. The bike looks and sounds awesome. I would love to do one up just about like that.
Love it. Thanks for sharing. That pipe... 👍🏻
Very cool! Gives me some good ideas for my Thruxton
This is literally my dream bike!!
Very nice looking bike.

Fab! Sold....I want one!
Great looking bike 👍
Nice and clean built

Now's the time to get one. They weren't this good before 2017.
Great bike, love the colour scheme (I have it in green) can't bring myself to call it a black and tan bike though...
Nice job! Could I possibly trouble you for a link to the front fender company? 🙏🏻🙏🏻 PS. I agree with your wife %100. 😂😂

Black and brown together ist amazing. Just look at bonneville t1e0 black and brown seat.
Mine looks very similar great bike to raz about on town or country lanes 😃

good choice
Buy Triumph
i came down to the same decision, triumph ss or ducati scrambler and went with the triumph...diggin it!!
I am with Vicki on the black and brown thing
Thanks for the video, Dutch! Watched it several times until I ended up ordering the Scrambler myself - with pretty much same gear as you - pipe, brace, tyres, tail removal kit etc. (all from Triumph).. So ... do you sport a number plate or did you also just scuff up the plastic cover on the left side of the bike?
I have a number board and my boots have scuffed it.
The way it should be. I also noticed that your chain guard looks different.
Inspections (MOTs) in the UK seem tough. The government should cut you guys some slack, especially with the high taxation and fuel prices that are in place. Exhaust sounds great BTW! 🏁
They are the least tough in the whole of Europe, thankfully, and better than some US states. For now.
ekim andersom
Ich weiß!
No MOT inspection in my state. Never had an inspection on any vehicle for that matter.
Link for the front fender ? 😍
Great choice of accesoiries that makes it look so much better than the original!
I went with almost all the same options on mine.
Can’t find anything simple and neat to replace my fuel cap though : would you mind sharing where you got your from?
Great looking bike! , sounds superb. Do have bar risers on it...? Steve
Bars are standard and quite high. The bar brace is an add-on.
Great bike! Would you be able to share the part number or a link for the Triumph Mirrors? I have looked everywhere online, but cant find those exact ones. Thanks!
Sure, I believe this is the correct part number A9638136.
Hope that helps.

@@BikeShedMotoCo Yes! Thank you!
amazing that sound!

Nice 👍🏽
Dream bike right there, what a beaut. Anyone have any 'first bike' recommendations for a clueless middle aged fool trying to look like Steve McQueen?
This would be a great first bike but if you want something smaller and lower, look at the smaller capacity Ducati Scramblers or an XSR700. For lower prices Royal Enfield are great value and the new 650 packs a punch.
Whats your inseam? You’ve a fantastic bike.
31inches
brilliant sound :) - which custom Tail did you mount ? it looks perfect ?

Tail mount is a Triumph aftermarket item, I just cut it down, I believe this is explained in the vide.
Very nice job, i like a lot this model from triumph.
congrats
Your handlebar isn't the original? Were you brought it?
The handlebar is original, but I added the optional cross brace and bar pad from the catalogue.

Also hoping to come along to the Lydden Hill Cafe Racer Cup as a spectator. Will be great to see.
So my question is he just rubbed the tank down with wet and dry and thats it???
Hey Dutch thanks for the great video, you inspired me to get my own scrambler and I love it. I was wondering where you got your fuel tank cap and front mud guard from?
Both should all be referenced in the comments below, with links.
This bike inspired my purchase of a SS and the mods I've since made. Thanks! PS .. did you ever swap out the indictors and try an aftermarket air filter?
dutch's videos on the SS sold me as well!! i've made similar mods to mine and it looks + runs amazing...would like to hear if anyone has swapped out stock air filter on SS for aftermarket?
Hi Dutch et all,
I really love this brown seat.. any idea, where I could get this for my Triumph Thunderbird? Does anyone know, what kind of color code this brown has got? Thanks, Cheers, Sven
Hey Dutch is this the pre 2019 Scrambler with the lower HP? If it is did you manage to up the power with the exhaust etc...? Great to hear your mods.
Mark hey Mark, Dan here. Dutch will likely not see this at the moment however I rode it a few times so I’ll respond. Yes it’s the pre 2019. Power increase was negligible if any in real world scenarios. Maybe a slightly crisper throttle response if you’re really looking. The main reasons for the upgrade to me are the weight savings, sound and look of this exhaust. However if you’re considering one, make sure it’s the right one. These are discontinued and harder to come by being the cat-less version. I think you can tell by the black heat shield the newer catted versions have. The part number should be A9600620.

Hope that helps!
