Hi Thruxton Boy,

My aunt lives in Holland, in the neighborhood by the Friedricksplein (bad spelling). We were there 4 or 5 years ago and I took a picture of this Bonneville. Maybe you recognize it? It became the inspiration for the T-100 I own now.

Hi Paul,

Thats nice! Maybe you meen Frederiksplein? And in wich City? Holland is small, but not that small, we have different City's you know (yoke). I did'nt reconized this particular bike, but I can imagine it was your inspiration for the T 100. Beside my Thruxton I also own a T100, black with white stripes on the tank. I use it mostly for rides with somebody on the back. The Thruxton is only ment to break the law with.....

Best regards

Wim

Last Friday I went to a cicuit for having my Thruxton tested by a very sporty Dutch Motorcycle magazine. In the beginning they were a bit sceptic, but when they looked at the bike the first time, they get impressed.

Then lots of preparations were made...

Comparing to a 'stock' bike, they like to find out what we changed on our Thruxton...

And than they started to ride, and they get fast... very fast!

I created a copple of new 'believers' for my Thruxton religion...

Latest pictures from my bike with black anodist wheels. The backrim 17"x5j (+ 160 Dunlop) and the front 17"x3,5j (+ 120 Dunlop), you also see the modified exhaustsystem.

I'm now waiting for the NH Rearsets, the NH forkbrace and a 41T rearsprocket. Is there anyone who can give me a idea were I could find a decent 17" frontfender?

OOOOOOH! Those are great looking headers Thruxtonboy! Are they handmade by your expert tuner, or are they after market pipes? I'd love a set for myself. They remind me of the old Dunstall Power Pipe for the Norton Command.

I know I'm jumping in on an old thread but if you're still watching it, How did the Slick 50 work out over time? I would think it would cause the wet clutch to slip.

We haven't had any posts from Thruxtonboy for over two years. Would be interesting to know how that Slick-50 worked.

Hey Forchetto,
I missed a couple pages where they ran 50cc of slik for about 1500km and then changed the oil. He said it seemed to stop the cam wear problem. Hope you're getting some ride time in. I've been out quite a bit but the temp has been 105 f, 40.5 c, and 90% humidity so sticking to evenings and early morning. Oklahoma, USA weather is brutal in the Summer!
