My T100 is slowly morphing into a thrux. Next up are a custom seat (solo seat looks out of proportion to me being too long and wide), gaiters and polished fork lowers, and thrux alloy rims in a black finish and a set of polished alloy engine covers and cam cover to eliminate the chrome and tone it down a bit.

So far - 07 Thrux fenders, 320mm thrux floating rotor, thrux forks, thrux headlight mounts, thrux front signal mounts, thux pipes (ceramic coated) and TORS, Hyde rear sets, damper, and M bars. Monza cap, Nitro shocks with powder coated springs, Hagon fork springs, and K&N filter. Lucas tail light and bullet winkers.

Not only is that a very fine looking bike, but your photography abilities never cease to amaze me.

are those front signal relo mounts the ones from new bonneville? and are the bullets the ones with the 4"stem? i'm gonna copy you on those if you don't mind

and can i have dibbs on the graphite if you ever sell it

Now if you paint it gray after adding those parts, it'll be just like your Thrux ... Verson 1.1

Thanks, Yep - 4" stems and stock thrux front signal mount. Probably similar to NB's mounts.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the seat, because I have the same one and I agree it could be reshaped.

That looks great. First rear fender I've seen that I didn't want to immediately respond to with "Take that thing off!" I like the red front fender as well, although usually I'd insist that black or chrome are the only legitimate colors for front fenders. I suggest a black blaze on the front of the fender though. And, of course, you need a D9 lay-flat bracket.

+1.
Looking good can't wait to see it with black rims, that should tie it in very nicely.

That bike looks better everytime I see it... I agree with Mancha about some black on the front fender.... bring it out with ya this summer, we could swap covers, think the chrome would look good on mine ?

The chrome looks good and is easy to take care of, and I may even like it once the wheels are black. But nothing looks better to me than polished alloy or stainless steel. A cover swap may or may not work on our bikes, I have to research the clutch side cover and breather since the cases and breather changed from 04 to 06, I have heard rumors that the covers will not interchange but have no confirmation of this other than that the breather and crankcase casting are different. The bike as it sits, falls into the "interesting, but not perfect" category right now, for me anyway. Contruction on the thrux and then spoke issues had me riding this bike more than the thrux last year. 10,000 miles on this one and 8000 on the thrux! See ya in Aug!

Thanks for the kind words from all.
