Looks centered to me. Neat idea with the tailight. Is it a 5.5" rim?

Interesting placement of the license plate. Do the cops not hassle you for that? Here they object to the plate being anywhere but centered on the rear of the bike...

The tire/wheel combo looks great on there!

Thanks to all who attended!

Do you keep one bullet left for yourself, for when it's all over and done?

You know, the Thruxton is such a great-looking bike in stock form, there's very little you can do to really improve the looks. At some point it becomes just change for the sake of change, and not really an improvement. If you want to keep spending money on a bike, my suggestion would be to get a second (or third or fourth) bike and put your money there.

Sorry to be blunt, but you'll notice my member name is not "Mr. Nice Guy."

I'm all for performance mods, and tasteful cosmetic customization, but c'mon, that license plate mounting is just plain goofy.

Oh wait... did I stumble into the chopper forum?

Uh - STFU!

Do what you want - its your bike.

BTW - Cafes were the first Choppers. You chop them to make them lighter, faster and yours...

no the cops dont hassle me as a msf instructor i know the state laws the only 2 in ohio are plain view to the rear of the bike and it has to have a light. and for those who dont like my placement i do have 2 other motorcycles one of which i used to race and the other being a hd. my final statement you might think my bike is ugly but its probably not as ugly as your attitude :razz:
