    Crispey, yes it was meant to have tail tidy but it hadn't arrive at 8 ball in time and I wasn't waiting another 2 weeks for the bike.

    Soon as it arrives it will be fitted, the rear end is crap in standard form

    thats good to hear half ton, to be honest there is nothing really wrong with how it is from stock

    the issue I have is that I come from and still have a superbike and a race bike that I use for amateur racing. Although I want the change on the road (to keep my licence and stay alive!) I think I may get a bit bored of the thruxton with stock power/performance hence the upgrades.

    I will post pics and report back on her before/during/after 2 weeks at the IOM TT

    If I don't have fun on her there then you will see her in the for sale section ha ha ha

    Blimey, they are shortys, not surprised they're noisy. Look the biz tho'! Get rid of that tail end and you'll have a really good looking bike there.

    Yeah tail tidy was supposed to be fitted but the wizards who sent it to Youles didn't put brackets in for the indicators!!!

    Or maybe youles could have checked the contents in the week knowing it would be fitted Friday, any deficiencies could have been spotted and sorted prior to me turning up for the 1st service,,,,,or would that just be someone having their shit together more than I could expect

    Anyway I am now waiting on the brackets and will fit tail tidy myself asap

    Only hope they are straight forward
