Thruxton Thruxton Questions

What’s the thinking on screens. The Thruxton is new to me, having ridden a 675 Daytona for the last few years, I was surprised by the lack of wind buffeting, and thought it would be much more, but wondered if a fly screen would make any difference and I’m not sure I like the look.
Also how do you maintain brushed alli? Chuz yall

 

Hate them! Anything I've had with a screen just makes a horrible rumbling noise round your head. Little fly screens don't cause this problem but I never noticed any real difference with them. As for the alloy, wipe it down with motorex moto protect, brilliant stuff!

 

Hmmm, as it happens I have for disposal a clear DART screen I had on my 2016 Thruxton R. I felt it made a noticable difference to wind buffeting and no difference in wind noise or if any a slight reduction. Being a small screen it suited the bike not detracting from its cafe racer appearance.

 

Thanks for that, I'll carry on the research.

 

So which of the dart screens do you have, think they come in two sizes, am I right?

 

i think i have the smaller one. I am away until 17 June. I can send the measurements once I get back home.

 

I have a 2019 Thruxton R and a small screen. It does not provide any protection, but for me tidy’s up the front end. Here it is along side my mates that does not have screen for comparison.

 

Here are a few the bike I had with it fitted

 

Thanks for that, I have just got back home from a trip and am interested in your screen, have you got a price on that including he posting?
mucho grathias

 

Hi,

the screen is 215mm long, I actually think it is a genuine Triumph one. Certainly it has the Triumph logo embossed at the base. Coming to think of it the Dart one I bought was for the R Nine T I had at the same time. I think I bought it from WorldofTriumph. How does £45 delivered sound ? Thats half price plus postage. It is like new and comes with the brackets.

 

That sounds dandy, let me know details and i can transfer the amount
will you DM that. Thanks

This isn’t a bad article. My thruxton has a small screen i’d like to see in a wind tunnel where all the wind is heading my guess is straight into my face well feels like it

 

that's a good read, go big or small seems to make sense, but then again some screens look really naff
Going to have a go at making my own, another daft project that'll waste lots of time and look sh1t, but hey ho
