Try a french company called Motorne. The dude,Xavier, there has a complete kit of the glass nose cone fairing made just for the Thruxton. very slick looking, but expensive. Might want to wait for the dollar to go back up.

i recall seeing a site once with a bunch of fiberglass parts (i recall them being painted yellow on the website) that were really flash. anyone know what i'm talking about?

+1, the others don't flush mount to the lamp. the top of the lamp sticks out past the fairing. ducati has it right for sure.

if we wait for our dollar to go back up we will never get to buy anything again.

I wonder how much those help w/ wind blast at speed. I'd imagine quite a bit. You could probably pickup a few mph with the more streamlined front.

Bonafides Thruxton is amazing with that fairing on it! I've been looking all over trying to find one close that wont put me in debt too far.....
Do any of these look like they'd fill the bill? If so, Does anyone out there know if I'd need the one with a 7" or the one with an 8" cutout?
I'm wanting to mount one on a 06 Thruxton.
Thanks much all,
Ray

All very nice options, so many to choose from. Ray call Airtech they are very helpful and can answer your questions.

Funny
I have both.
The Thruxton blocks more wind then the Sport CLassic. Ironics since the Ducati is much much much faster.

it's gonna be a pretty big project that, like the half-sleeve i'm thinking about, will only be executed only after careful consideration (and saving a lot of $$).

Since I have both the the Ducati and the PAK Bikes with the front fairing...
Actually, from one Ducati sport classic with fairing to another the amount of protrusion of the headlight will be different. Some more, some less...
It depends on the installation and set up by the dealer.
In fact the Thruxton has more adjustability then the Ducati.
The PAK bike Thruxton fairing comes complete with all the hardware included, and I mean every nut, washer, bolt etc etc which is pretty amazing. The installation, although daunting, the procedure is easy. It will take a long weekend to install. Very satisfying when you have finished.

Here are some images of the actual install session.

JCMoTo - I have a quick question, does the fairing and windscreen come pre-drilled?

JCMoTo · 05-03-2008

Yes they do.
I wonder if they could make the fairing with out the holes for the windscreen?
I could find out if thats where you are going with that thought.
