There is so much scope to customise these stunning motorcycles, I love seeing the unique variations as a fellow owner.The seating position is one of the least favourable things about the model. People think Thruxtons are about the look but you need to feel comfortable on such a wonderful machine and if changing handlebars helps you enjoy it more then how can that be sacrilegious? They are pretty to look st but marvellous to ride.

@Archimedes I did this to mine before my Europe round tour and it was the best thing I've done to it yet. It still looks kick ass and I feel It's even better at cornering, not to mention the increase in comfort which is substantial. Would recommend this to anyone who love the old thrux but want a bit more usability out of it.

You talked about lightening the bike but never quite got around to telling us what it weighs. So the $64,000 question is: how heavy is it? (I'm guessing 420-430lbs) Me? I wish Triumph would produce a SuperLeggera model - with 100bhp and weighing no more than 350lbs max.

I haven't weighed the bike, (I don't have scales that big) but I have a big box of plastic and heavy metal parts that weighs at least 30kg, and the parts I have replaced them with weigh less than half - plus the bike feels much lighter to move around and to ride. ...It's a very easily noticeable difference.

Not sure about that. The airbox also holds a lot of electrics and fuses, etc, so that would all have to go somewhere else, and I like the changeable seat setup.

I like the idea and think this works really well. Love the small details that down and out go into with the wiring etc. I’ve heard that getting rid of the xpipe or bend in the exhaust looses quite a lot of the torque, have you noticed that with these pipes? Also what make are the slip-ons? I desperately need to make my Street Twin louder. Cheers.
@BikeShedMotoCo
5 жыл бұрын
The bike feels, and fuels, so differently that I can't feel a loss of torque or power, but on these open pipes it feels much rougher, and the sport mode feels more on/off than before, so we have probably compromised the fuel mix. However, the bike has lost so much weight it feels much faster, so I'm ok with losses on paper-charts if the whole package is as much fun to ride - or better. ... I do hope to take the bike up to Chris at X-Bikes at some point as he did a great job on my old twins, and on the deBolex Ducati.

Best of both worlds? Very possibly........certainly an Avenue I'd explore when the old 'Arthur Wrightees ' gets the better of me. The only issue I have with your presentation, the list for weight saving. It just puts me in mind of the days we used to drill holes in everything that could be drilled, (and one or two bits that couldnt/shouldn't)! It saved as much weight as taking a leak to be honest. Eliminating unnecessary complexity? Maybe. Weight saving? Meh........... Other than that, great looking bike, great option for the future, nice one.

I definitely saved a couple of dozen kilos on this bike. You can feel it in the box of parts removed, and you can really feel it moving the bike around the Bike Shed - on and off plinths, and around the arches. It now feels lighter than my stripped down street scrambler, whereas it used to take some proper 'hefting' to get it moving across a door frame or up a small step. ... I've swapped a double layer, double-linked, steel exhaust plus massive baffled end-can, complete with hugely heavy catalytic converter box that feel like a good 5 kilos alone, and now I have two single-skinned shorty pipes, unlinked, un-catted and un-baffled. ...and that's before you start counting up big heavy OEM fenders, tail/plate hangers, etc.

Despite the "smallness" of the design, my lighting is far from minimal with LEDS are the brighter than the OEM lighting. I agree that bright indicators are essential.
