    Hi all,

    Just introducing myself. Recently picked up a 22’ Thruxton. I’m planning on doing a little customizing and will start a thread once I begin. Looking forward to digging through this forum to see what others have done.

    Ride safe,
    Brian

    Greetings and welcome to the forum, @BTSEA! Congratulations on that new Thruxton. :grinning: I've had a 2012 Thruxton and a 2016 Thruxton R but don't currently have one. There are many here that do, however, so hopefully some folks will be able to give you some ideas and suggestions. We'd love to see a photo or two of that new bike. Perhaps some "before" photos? Then you can repost those on your customization thread. :)

    Couple of pics. Still trying to find a good source for quality aftermarket parts. Looking for a brake reservoir, engine badges, blinkers, fender eliminator, etc. A lot of options I’m finding online seem a little shitty.

    ASV short levers
    Maund “Miller” FEK with signals front and rear
    Motone Union Jack covers
    Motone Odin canisters
    Montone Defender sump guard
    Free Spirits X-Pipe
    Heated grips
    Throttle spacers
    Rear paddock spools

    If I had to do it over I’d get the British Custom GP exhaust and not the x-pipe and canisters, only because it’s cheaper by about $75
