First round of changes to the Thruxton R. Ditch the stock turns and fender for some motogadget LEDs and a the New Rage Cycles tail tidy
Hi Olaf, Yes, it is a custom paint job from new, called volcanic orange. Never thought I would ever buy an orange bike, Jotas excepted, but I really liked it. Cheers
Fitted my new leather seat with gel pad. It's like sitting on a comfortable chesterfield. Really like the way it's turned out. Got my new bar end mirrors fitted too
No it doesn't feel any higher, cost an extra £80 for the gel insert, it really is comfortable. Only problem is it's a little slippery when I've got my jeans on. Hoping just to being so new.
http://www.caulfieldleather.co.uk/ Guys name is Matt, I'd personally recommend him, he will do what ever design and material you want, I wanted black leather with the red diamond stitching. He's got a face book page and all the feedback is excellent. He's going to do my new CCM flat tracker seat
What was the total cost for the seat mate, I do have a standard one he can cover with the gel pack. It’s the only thing about the bike I don’t get on with max 60 miles and I’m in pain
He took my standard seat and recovered in the leather with the gel insert it was £280 total, My standard seat wasn't to uncomfortable and was only got have it done in leather, which would have been 200. But opted for the gel pad whilst it was being done, can't tell you how comfortable it is now.
I don’t know whether my arse just doesn’t suit the Thruxton, but I’ve never been so uncomfortable as far as the arse is concerned, strange but true
Anyone know where the Thruxton sat nav thread is? Can’t find it anywhere and wanted to see how the ball mount worked out! Cheers chaps!
