    Hey everyone!

    After being screwed over a few times I finally for myself a 2010 Thruxton. It's fully stock except it has a steering stabilizer. It's super clean rides nice. I have a tail tidy coming in tomorrow, and some new front shocks. I was very surprised on how quiet it is. Any advice on taking the baffles out? I'm not looking for a loud bike, but not somes so quiet. Do I need to get a power commander if I do that?
    And super weird, the racing strip is a bit off center, I've been riding it for a few weeks and just noticed. Anyone else have the same issue? Super weird.

    I don't think so. No crashes when I looked up the VIN and the previous owner didn't say anything. The bike it is immaculate condition, so I doubt it.

    Hmmm, then it just must have been poor quality control. Can you live with it?? Seems like you could since you've had the bike for a bit and just now saw that the stripe is off. But sometimes once you've noticed something like that, it can be tough to "unnotice" it.:(
