I got mine from Baxter Cycle. Ask for NBTZ and make sure they send you the right ones. They mistakenly sent me the stock needles that I already had so I had to send them back for exchange, no problem, just took a while longer.

Is everybody putting the Thruxton needles in the 790 or 865 Bonnevilles, or both? Are the Thrux needles different than the 865 Bonnie needles? I just got mine in and they are the exact same size as what I have in my 07 Bonnie. When I picked them up, I asked the guy if he made sure he ordered the Thrux needles and he said he did. Just wondering if I got the wrong ones or if I shouldn't have ordered them at all.

The Thruxton needles really helped the midrange performance on my 01 790 after I removed the airbox.
I'm sure some shims would have had a similar effect, but I read the needles would be better so that's what I did.

You shouldn't have ordered them at all. If you've got an 07 model Bonnie, then you've got the 865cc 360 degree engine which already comes with the so-called Thruxton needles. They should be marked "NBZT" around the edge of the head on the new ones and your originals.

Thats what I thought. Unfortunatley I thought about that after I picked them up. Oh well, anyone want to buy some needles? I can't return them since they are special order through the dealership.
