I believe this factory OEM '08 Thruxton top yoke piece maybe a cost effective alternative to an aftermarket top yoke that are drilled to accomodate risers allowing installation of a conventional handlebar. I am not sure if a "Bonneville" top yoke will mount to a Thruxton because of a slight difference in rake...the bikes sharing the same frame. This slight reduction in fork rake between Thrux and Bonnie maybe do to the slightly higher rear shock position of the Thux however and not due to any difference in drilling angle for the fork tubes relative to the steering head bolt. The top handlebar yokes therefore between Bonnie and Thrux "maybe" interchangable. Someone would know if they installed a Thrux top yoke on a Bonneville in an effort to Thruxton-ize a Bonnie with clip ons.
Unfortunately bikebandit does not discriminate model year...lumps 900 Thruxton model years all together and doesn't list '08 part numbers for the Thruxton the best I can tell.
Thanks again. If others have insight to alternative parts lists for the Thruxton, please post.
