A picture from a sunny spring day in Sweden. I live outside Malmoe. A city in the south of Sweden. My bike is a Thrux-04 and it´s still in my "running in & getting to know-stadium". This fall i plan to start the adjustments. Until now I´ve changed the rear fender and of course Dyno-jet and changed silencers.
Before this bike I´ve had a Yamaha SR 500 (tuned and fixed for too much money), MuZ Scorpion and after that Speed Triple-02. Finally, when I had bought a new SR-500 project and started to write down the wish-list... I understood that It would be cheaper to bya a Thrux instead. and I have to say that I´m very pleased with the bikes spirit. The performance is another thing....
We have to take a look at that this winter.
Cheers
Jocke

i had to cut some off my black ones. moreso on the throttle side. i just used a sharp pocket knife. the left side i just mainly made the hole bigger. throttle side had to chop the end off so the throttle can move freely. i pressed the grip flat and slowly sliced it to get a smooth edge. like slicing a piece of andouille sausage. mmmmm need to make some gumbo. i sliced it a few times so i wouldn't take off too much. and just stopped slicing once the throttle moved freely with the mirror on. pm me if ya want a more detailed pic
i sprayed a little wd40 in the grip and they slid on easily

I figured it out... It is a Thunferbird. Now can someone tell me why I am trying to find one? Oh yea, because that bike looks bas ass!
Thanks guys
That bike was originally Adventurer, "few" mods later it´s grown up a Sweet Triple.
I`m think about selling this bike because like to start new project, more old school cafe style. Bonneville may be a next bike what I want to try out.
Anyway, here is a pic when that bike was just born.
