Just bought my Thruxton two weeks ago.

I never have had a new bike. Always vintage; let me see: Started with a dirt bike, then scooter, a comando, then a sporster, after that an 66' dream, then an 80' r100.

So in other words I am very excited, most of all I wont have to wrench on saturdays to ride on Sunday - lol

Im getting some mods put on the bike as we speak: Bub mufflers, New tail light, 170 back tire. Rizome brake reservoir, Fenderless fender plate.Ordered some new intruments and dash board - hate the gluy stock one, taking off the blinkers ( b - o - b -b - e- r ), taking the California emission stuff off so it will perform better, and new mirrors from sky king. Thinking about lowering it 1 1/2", nickle plating the gas tank, and painting the front fender black or getting a polished one. whew!

Oh yeh - its black...

Good Stuff

Bonnie 1000th, What are the weight savings, if any, on your fiberglass tank/seat pieces versus factory pieces? I believe I have seen your pieces advertised. The ones I saw were listed as undrilled for mounting. How much trouble/fabrication involved for good mounting? Thank you for your time.

Too many sweet bikes -- I finally got mine last week after months of drooling, an '06 Thruxton, black, pipes are on the way and several other mods are brewing up in my mind. Here's looking forward to making it mine! :-D
