DescriptionThe whole story▼
A naked SPEED TRIPLE 1050 RS has nowhere to hide an original fluid reservoir. Enter the OBT001: a 31 cm³ billet reservoir at 106 g, built to replace the original box. LighTech anodises the OBT001 in 2 different colours. On a 1050 cc machine like the SPEED TRIPLE 1050 RS it is the cheapest cockpit change available.
Key Features
- Universal by design: LighTech builds one reservoir, not one per Triumph model
- The OBT001 is machined from solid, not cast or pressed
- 106 g in place of the original box
- Reversible — the original part goes back on the SPEED TRIPLE 1050 RS any time
- A stock LighTech item rather than a special order
- Laser-marked with the LighTech logo
In the Workshop
Allow half an hour on the SPEED TRIPLE 1050 RS including bleeding. Bleed and pressure-test the circuit on the SPEED TRIPLE 1050 RS afterwards; this is not a cosmetic part. Instructions are in the box; the SPEED TRIPLE 1050 RS needs no modification.
The Case for Billet
Reservoirs are a styling part for most riders and a maintenance part for the rest. Billet outside for strength and finish, plastic inside for visibility — that is the whole idea of the OBT001. At 106 g it weighs about what the plastic original does.
Fitment and Compatibility
This listing covers the Triumph SPEED TRIPLE 1050 RS, 2016 to 2020. It is a universal article in LighTech's own description; the SPEED TRIPLE 1050 RS is the application, not the design brief.
Care and Checks
A translucent liner only helps if you look at it; make the OBT001 part of the pre-ride check. The OBT001 needs no maintenance of its own beyond that.
Before You Order
One thing to order alongside: the bracket. Mounting hardware is a separate line: OBT008 forward, OBT009 rearward, OBT003 as the general support. We can advise which of the three suits your SPEED TRIPLE 1050 RS — it takes one question.
What You Get
The OBT001 arrives as the tank, the cap and the gasket. The part number is all you need to quote for a repeat order on the SPEED TRIPLE 1050 RS.
Brake System and Road Approval
Replacing a reservoir touches the brake system of the SPEED TRIPLE 1050 RS, not just its appearance. There is no type approval for the OBT001; we say that plainly rather than bury it. Ask your inspection body about the SPEED TRIPLE 1050 RS before fitting, and do not skip the bleed.
