Found a few interesting thrux's on the web.

Check this one out - is that a right side shifter I'm looking at??

Love this tank and seat combo - tank is a work of art.

hmmmmm ... well it is eye catching. I still want one of those belly pans - just not in that color(s). Even the spokes are black and white.

Thrux-ton-up, nice finds. Do you know who makes/supplies the tank and possibly the seat in the middle photo. I think I may have found a way to spend some bonus and tax money. :-D

yes, looks like a right side shifter

Boboso - seat and tank I am fairly sure are VD classics. They reatil for about $1850.00 for the pair. You will need some type of seat as the tank is too long for the stock one.

Pepe - were did you find the extreme close-up shot - are there more of this bike out there?? Looks like they did the machine work and flipped the output shaft for the transmission. I could find only the one image - from some type of Triumph bike day I believe. JCW

Pepe, any more information on this shifter? Next question: What was done about the rear brake foot lever.. This is a very interesting set up. I wonder if it is a 1 off.

I have no idea why the owner mounted the shifter on the right side....

I found the pics in the net

Here's another one

Nice finds. I have to admit I really like that, um, black-and-white one.

I also really like those racing tank badges. I want to have some made in aluminum, and then go to town on them with a paintjob.
