ok so I got one and have made it to match,,Of course! this is how it started rubbed it down and primed it put the stipes and masked off the areas not to be blue sprayed it blue OOOOOOH! masked the blue and sprayed the white Added stripes and clear coat et voila not convinced by it, took her out for a run but it started to rain so I hi tailed it home, its ok at speed but the steering's a bit heavy. the jury is out! Thoughts Gentlemen, and you others of course!!
You've done beautiful paintwork Crispey as usual but I'm not sure it works ? Does it give you a worthwhile improvement in shelter from wind & weather ?
Actually it's pretty rubbish up close, bit rushed as I wasn't sure about the whole thing. Yes there's protection on the chest but wind noise over open face helmet
Did mine in just plain white and some stickers but doing it properly in winter. But Yours looks really good.
Resprayed the bikini fairing on my Trident last year after it developed a nasty scratch (don't ask). Ended up with a finish reminiscent of black orange peel! I'm still working up the enthusiasm/courage to have another go at it. Perhaps if I'd painted it blue it would have had a better finish. Or not!
Lovely paint job and a beautiful looking bike. The squareness styling and overall 'biggish' size of the fairing doesn't really do it for me. Sorry but you did ask!
i'm not keen on any fairing on a thruxton, especially the factory one, imho it totally ruins a beautiful bike.if you need a fairing i think something like this looks much better
That's like the bikini fairing on my Bonnie which the previous owner had fitted from new. I think it looks ace, would certainly suit the Thruxtons
