Just for the year. Temps were in the low 40s today and the sun was shining. So I took a spin on the tiger. Got a bit of a scare; there was black ice on the road in the shaded corners. That may have been this year's last ride.

Is there or will there be an off road or TORS type map for the new twins?

I saw a photo of the green thruxton with the racer kit fairing. It will fit without the lowered clip ons.I ordered one. I wonder if the green color option will be limited to the early bikes like yellow was a one year only color in 04. I'm not taking that chance and bought me this year's...

Is anyome offering a "pipe" to install in place of the cat on the new thruxton? It looks like a simple X pipe could be substituted or a "box" This could mimic the Dunstall 2 into 1 into 2 system. It should be made of stainless steel and would sell for $300. Should increase torque and improve the...

I picked up a set of Amazon led driving lights for $23. Add a $1.99 switch and a $3 relay. Used bicycle reflectors brackets to mount them to the engine guards on my Tiger.

Has anyone used plastic film to alter the color of a headlight? I'm considering changing to a yellow headlight. I think it will make the bike more conspicuous. ​​​​The films I'm looking at claim a 90%+ transmission rate. So I'm not sure I want to loss 10% of my lighting. Any opinions or experience?

I had the map in my 11 Tiger 800 updated today part of my preparations for my ride to deal's gap. The dealer installed the latest "arrow" map because I have an aftermarket silencer. The new map SUCKS! the hesitation and flat spot off a closed throttle is pronounced and dangerous. All popping in...

I want a new thruxton. I like the green standard model but wonder if I'll regret not getting the R with its upgraded suspension and brakes. The $2000 upcharge is well worth it but the green bike sure is pretty. Gotta sell my Moto Guzzi V7

I was on my Thruxton Sunday on a country road following a VW jetta. We were traveling at50mph and I was around 50 to 100 feet behind the car. A gust of wind toppled a large tree that fell on the car crushing it. No brakes or warning ; the car just stopped I stopped a few feet from the fallen...

I need tires for a 1965 BSA 18" both ends. Choices are limited. I will probably use Avon Roadriders. Those tires are "tubeless" but of course I will use tubes. An internet"source" claims that tubeless tires cannot be mounted on tubes wheels as the rim shape differs. I have the Avon tires...

I installed a 7" Trucklite LED headlamp. it fits the stock Thruxton shell but sticks out a bit in the front as it is deeper. the top part lights up for low beam and everything lights up for the main beam. the dipped beam is very flat and the main beam is higher and rounder. it sure is white...

well I just wasted $600. I had been running EPCO SS silencers on my 05 Thruxton. They look good , fit well and are well made but they area a bit load for my tastes. I was going to get the Triumph TORS as I had used them before and they sound good. But they are chromed steel and my last set...
