    Got all my accessories just missing the bike to fit them too!
    Front and rear mini indicators, fender removal kit, Alloy chain guard. All look well made (should do for the cost)
    Still can't wait!

    May as well try em on my bike. I've never had blokes stop and stare at any other bike like they do at this one btw.

    I got my Thruxton R early but all the bits that I had configured prior to delivery did not arrive on time with bike so I was missing the fender removal kit along with washable air filter nod couple of other bits.
    Fender removal kit is ugly and not what I imagined , I am changing to an R & G Tail tidy .
    There seems to be a lack of knowledge from the dealers on these as if they were up to speed they would not recommend it .
    I would strongly advise not to go for the Triumph fender removal kit.. Total waste of money .

    Read the thread about the R+G tail tidy first though.
    From all I've read I'll be modifying the triumph kit to make the work for me. I don't want ugly overhanging parts just neat and tidy

    If you think the Trumpet one is bad I think you'll be very disappointed with the R&G......mine went straight back in the box it came in and back to them(got my refund today). The worst part was the lack of a wiring loom in the kit and the expectation that you cut off the original connector and crimp on some 'orrible bullets supplied in the kit.

    If you remove the extension piece from the triumph one (simple bit of dremeling required of the number plate bracket) it all fits up closer to the rear of the bike. Though I would still like something a little more elegant for number plate light that might be a winter mod on the Triumph one.

    The more fairing shots I see the more think I need one. Probably save up over winter and fit ready for spring as I don't get my bike till end of September
