Motothrux,

I believe LSL sells a set of rear pillions that has a bracket which moves the rear pegs farther back-giving you both more room. Try jacklilly or mecatwin sites - or anyone suppling LSL products. They are pricy though - if your good at fabrication you culd possibly make a set of brackets to move the stock pegs back a little. Good Luck. JCW

thanks for yours and others help,be forever looking on my own.

Will have a go at making a bracket to fit, the site you recommended "mecatwin" has a very tasty thruxton SS well worth a look,(only bummer some of it is in french) has a great looking tank-don't know about its capacity though.

Have been looking for a place to buy a monza tank cap ,notice they sell them also.

sorry about bringing up an old post but found out MotoTwin in UK have a bracket to move the pillion pegs further back (in the "Bonnieville" section, look well made also"

You sure about that pic? If so you've made a lot of mods since I last saw it. :-D
