Thruxton R Work In Progress.....

Just joined the forum and have been steadily making a few (reversible) mods to my R.

Really enjoying the bike and can't believe how much of a headturner she is!

Getting the solo and pillion seats recovered next, then might look at buying a second tank and seat cowl to do a colour change during the winter months.

I try to get to The Ace, Rykas, Loomies, Bike Shed etc whenever I can and longing for next spring already!

Cheers

Cheers dude! It's the Triumph tail tidy with the middle section removed and the rear section re-attached, then using Street Triple black alloy LED indicators and the pressed plate mounted as high as possible. No cutting or drilling required!

 

It's not too bad to be honest, you just need to dip your head a bit more.

However if I lived in London I'd probably keep them stock, to ensure I could react quickly enough if needed.

Then again you're only likely to be doing 3.2mph, so go for it and get them swapped over!

 

1. Mounted under the bars they don't interfere with the upper lines of the design.

2. No connection with the Rover but I'd love a P5 Coupe or a V8 P6! My other bike has a P5 plate with my initials, but I bought that plate for a car in 2001. Just kept the P5 theme going for the Thruxton but it means bugger all.

 

I found a guy on eBay who does them. Good finish and you can spec different sizes and layouts. Only illegal once you get caught! : )

 

Heel kickplates gone. My heels don't actually touch them anyway! Seat retrim and new paint for tank and seat cowl next....

 

Before and after.....
