I am a very proud owner of a Thruxton RS but I am finding options for Tail Tidys and Pipes quite limited. All the websites say suitable for Thruxton R but mention nothing about the RS. Does anyone else find this?
New member and new owner of a 2023 Thruxton RS. I am in the same boat. Looking to clean up the tail with a great tail tidy.. have not found a definitive solution that will work on a 2023 RS. Any advice? Thanks.
Check out TEC Bike Parts...not sure if they specifically list the RS but they're good guys and get back to enquiries really quickly!
Does that use factory lights? Signals look like it, but the tail is hard to see... I have a Maund "Miller" on mine...really like the looks, small package, however my wife has ridden behind me and does not care for it...says it's too small.
Yes, or whatever other lights you might be using. Mine came fitted to the bike, but it’s just a bracket with a built-in licence plate lite. This is what my bike looked like when it arrived, and I'm assuming the tail light took the place of the pre-installed licence plate light.
I went for the Evotech Performance Triumph Thruxton R 1200 Tail Tidy. It is very well made with good quality parts and instructions. The thing to note is the two holes for mounting the rear indicators, meaning you are expected to use Triumph mounted ones, not after-market. I did get around this but was extra work.
Holà! The Analog A3T V2 tail tidy really hit the spot for me. Looks just as I wanted it to, and super easy to install. But then it’s a taste thing, I like the « modern-meets-classic » vibe it gives
Hi - for the Evotech tail tidy, did you have to modify the brackets to fit on the RS? If so, any hints, pictures, etc. you can give? IMHO - I think this is one of the best Tail Tidy's out for the Thruxton R/RS's - keeps the bike looking classic! The other one I do like is the modern meets classic look of the A3T in the pics above!
RS and R are the same, the only difference is in the tech-area (lighter engine, HP, torque, weight) but the frame is the same so any tail tidy for the R will match the RS.
Im struggling to see the justification in price differences between models on that website ! Apart from maybe mounting hole placement I recon they're all pretty much the same ??
I use the genuine Triumph tail tidy, it definitely sharpens the look of my bike, at the expense of the large mud guard/hugger. Agree with your comment if you use it in all weathers, I’m a fair weather rider so this is of no consequence. Before and after shown
There is one other difference between R/RS in electronics from memory I seem to recall something to do with multifunction indicators or similar.
