Hi All,
I am upgrading and customizing my Thruxton 2009 EFI
I love this bike but I think there are many points that can be improved however I need a bit of support as I keep my bike in Italy whilst living in UK and because I really lack of experience
So far I have done
ARK
O2 removal
SAI removal
Fender removal
Back LED strip light
Front LED headlight
Front LED indicator
Back Bitubo shocks
Now I have made a list of things that I would like to change but I need a bit of support to understand what is feasible and should be done first. Any feedback or thought is appreciated!
- Front suspension replacement with Bitubo
- Replacing mechanical gauges with 2x SMITHS with LCD . What about the Tachometer though? Can I use the ODBII connection to get the value to the gauge ( eg as motogadget ) ? The problem with the Smiths is that they do not have engine and petrol light... any solution to this?
- I do not like the plastic switches and case on the handle bar. So I may replace them with buttons from motogadget hence using the m-unit and m-button as well. Any experience?
- Handle bar or clip on? What do you use?
- Motogadget M-lock. I love the idea to turn the bike on with a touch. Has anybody install it? Any feedback? Where have you placed the reader?
- Front / back floating Wave disc
- front and back 6 pot Pretech caliper. I understand the OEM master cylinder will be ok; otherwise which one do you recommend?
- front / back brake line (Hel or Goodrige )
- general harness tidy up
Sorry for the long post!
