VERY nice!! Gotta add ANOTHER bike to my wish list! :( ;D ;D
 
Love the looks but I have ridden one and the geometry puts to mucxh on my wrists my hands fall asleep.

hands fall sleep+ riding a mototrcycle = not good combination
 
Fking SEXEH :) I need one of those fairings tho...wonder if there is someone who makes an aftermarket that looks like that??
 
Thanks guys for all the compliments, as far as the geometry goes I like it. My wrists and elbows are a little sore but ill get over that. Im kinda short so it works out for me. The only thing Im going to do to this bike is the front and rear suspension mods the get it a little stiffer. The back wheel pushes to the outside on hard cornering but i can get over that for awhile too. I love this thing and there are no cosmetic changes to come....for now ;D Not sure about the flyscreen but it just bolts to the headlight bolts you may be able to make one fit something else or look on clubman racing assoc.com for one..

May need to fine tune your carbs to prevent additional bluing. Thruxtons and Triumphs run too lean in general to meet US emission standards.

Here's a good thread on blue pipes on a Thruxton.

I love the bike. Simply beautiful.

I hope you have many years of enjoyment on her.

Cheers
 
Thanks guys, the pipes blued in the initial break in but have since been rejetted when the D and D slip ons were put on. Ive got some stuff to get rid of the blue or Im thinking of painting them black but at the moment i dont mind too much ;D

Leave the pipes like that. Blueing means you ride it.
 
Yeah, the blueing is definitely helped along by the secondary air injection system as well, that these motors have. My Bonnie is the same way. But I actually like that it's blue. Iridescent even. The Thrux is a great bike. I sometimes regret getting the Bonnie instead, but it suited my needs at the time more. And Bonnie is a great bike as she stands - no complaints. You're gonna love how the chassis handles. I always find it entertaining to smoke 600SS riders through the technical sections of the twisties. They can never believe what you can do on these new Trumpets. Enjoy it!
 
You must have shot that picture very quickly....fast shutter speed?....I don't see the oil leaks ;D
