    hi crispy,i've had the thruxton for about 4 month's now,the demo thruxton i 1st took out had Hagon's on the rear,i liked the ride so i ordered a new 2015 model,i've been looking at other site's regarding what's on offer as an upgrade from the oem rear strut's,i decided on the HAGON 2810's,they have a black body with a chrome spring,there are fitted upside down.they are fitted so the HAGON logo is the right way up,if that make's sense.i've not tried them yet as the weathers against it,however,moving the bike it felt a little firmer,i will adjust the front fork's down to 2 click's rather than the factory 4,to give a firmer ride on the front.i also have a KAWASAKI GTR1400 on a 12 plate which i've had from new,out of the two,i must admit i prefer the thruxton for a weekend ride,the GTR for longer trip's.

    Great tapwasher! I bought mine just over 2 yrs ago with 3500 on the clock, I've put on over 8000 since, although not a lot of miles in bike terms it is for what is potentially a sunny Sunday ride. So defo have a 2nd bike for the donkey work!

    Nice bike, looks good in black. I fear my back would give up riding one though. Welcome to the forum.

    Nice in black, I prefer the satin engine cases too, as well as the up-swept pipes..

    Yes HO I must agree with you. I'm one for statins and blacks as chrome is too blingy for me
