Thruxton Thruxton R Yoke Phone Mount

I used one of these on my speed twin. Just remove one of the existing bolts and replace with a slighter longer one that comes with the kit

Yeah, I’m in the same boat, really want it in the center.
I removed the center nut to look at it and then just reinstalled to the same position.
I think I’m gonna drill it, unless somebody knows of a preexisting drilled nut.
I want to put a QuadLock stem mount in it.

Thanks for posting this, it looks like a really good design

 

Hi, I spent a bit more time on this tonight.... first, I didn’t have a large enough wrench either and so I just used a large adjustable/crescent wrench.

But, while shopping for some shorty levers (ordered short Evotechs), I came across this stem nut with hole, which I ordered. Should make it pretty easy. I plan to put the quadlock stem mount in it. I already have a quadlock case which I use for everyday. It is actually very nice and has lasted longer than any other cases I have used! I have various quadlock mount styles on my other bikes and have found them to be great.

The stem nut I received from A&J Cycles is Triumph part #T2041100. I used a large adjustable wrench, which left some scuffs on the top clamp.... I polished them out but note to self, get some large sockets for the tool box!!!
I think my Quadlock stem mount is supposed to show up tomorrow. I will post up some pics when I have it all done.

 

I got the quadlock stem mount installed. It is super solid, seems great. I have a black tab coming for it, red and white are also available.

I have an iPhone 8+ so pretty much any phone works with this mount location. I like their cases a lot. Now I just have to run the charge cord under the tank I suppose.

New stem nut... and beautiful new levers


Quadlock stem mount, gonna get a black tab for it.










Installed the black lever

 

I actually put some deep scars right close to the nut, so I had to knock of the edges a bit.

I used a fine ignition file for the raised edge of the mark, then polished it with some 1000 grit. This of course dulled it up too much so I was committed to doing a proper job on the whole yoke now. I used 2000, and then 3000, and finished with automotive scratch/swirl remover liquid.

For most scuffs, just 3000 grit and the scratch remover wax would work. I had the supplies on hand from when I prepped a used car for sale. Most automotive supply stores with an auto body section have everything you need.

 

I ran a USB/apple cord from the under seat factory USB plug up to my bars.
I used a 4 foot (1.2m) cord which worked out perfectly.

I took the tank off to do a proper job. It actually came off quite easily. Steps were as follows:
-Remove the 10mm nut/ 8mm bolt at rear of tank.
-Slide tank back and up a bit, place towels under front and back of tank to keep it raised.
-Disconnect tank vent line under the left side panel.
-Push tabs and disconnect 2 wire plugs under right side of tank.
-Disconnect fuel line at right side of tank:
slide lock outward, push in tab and pull up and off.
(Note that a small amount of fuel will temporarily drip out of the fuel line. Should have a cool engine!)
-Remove tank.
