Does anyone know of a source that might build a fuel tank similar to the tank on ROBNOBRAKES custom Thruxton for our triples?
Also does anyone know a source of the black&whithe checkered striping used on alot of Thruxton gas tanks and fenders?

About half way down this page is Rob's Thruxton: http://www.triumphrat.net/club-cafe/...ur-pics-9.html

Hi,

Fyi, I think you will find that most Thruxton tanks have been made by: http://www.tabaker.co.uk/

There is a Japanese company who make a carbon fibre Tank Cover, shaped as a Thruxton tank (for the new Bonneville), which is an interesting idea (just slip it over your old tank): http://www.pakbikes.net/PS1000LE/IMAGEHTML/MP030.html

Cool links fellas!!
Now, any ideas on the checkerboard striping?

Maybe tape? It is easier than paint.
