I just thought it looked nice! Rolling Eyes

Just about everything that can be changed has been, only the chassis and engine internals remain unchanged from the stock 2009 donor bike.

The list of custom parts is phenomenally long but the highlights include upside down 50mm Showa forks, twin four-pot Tokico calipers, radial master cylinder, polished top yoke and a Koso multifunctional instrument cluster.

The wheels are both 17’ with the rear carrying a 180 section rear tyre, probably the only Thruxton in the world with such a set up.

The tank is an alloy T140 item built by the Tank Shop and adapted to fit the Thruxton frame. Fuel injection is a stand alone system mounted externally.

The seat is a shortened Bonneville accessory seat re-covered in Alcantara leather and dressed with a ‘68 style rear pod.

Rear shocks are competition spec Bitabo multi adjustable units which raise the rear end for faster turning.

The rear mudguard is replaced with an alloy under tray which incorporates the number plate mount and has a retro style LED lamp with integral indicators.

i saw it on MCN ( and at the NEC) but tbh i'm disappointed they didn't tune the engine as that is the one weak spot that stops me having one, as they are almost as low tuned as harleys.

it is still really understressed for a ~900cc oil air cooled twin it can be tuned to a nicer level though
