Cafe racer fairings for the standard 2016 thruxton 1200?

[kassy82]

Been trying to look everywhere for those gorgeous looking cafe racer fairings for a standard thruxton, can only find ones for the R model. Preferrably in glossy black, but I guess any colour is fine and I can paint it myself. Looking from Brooklyn NY.

Hi Kassy82 I have the Thruxton 1200 D with the fairing and it is exactly the same as the R model,so you should be able to find one to match the colour of your bike.
make Sure that all the fittings are included,as the headlight needs to move forward.
Good luck

Hi Trumpetlad can I ask you about the comfort of your Thruxton? I suffer from acute sciatic pain after a long ride. Is the riding position to sporty? Does the fairing change the handlebar setting? Test rides feel fine.

 

[Trumpetlad]

Hi Wazza, I am tall and slim,6ft and about 80 kgs and the riding position is fine for me, absolutely no issues. Though I don,t have sciatica, the riding position isn't as aggressive as appears, especially with the stock clip-ons.
I have added the lower clip-ons on mine, still no problem. they can be a bit hard on the wrists while doing slow stuff in town, but once up and running, they are fine.
I have done a few 600+ km days with no problems at all.
Hope this helps

Thanks for taking the time to respond Trumpetlad. I think the Thruxton will have to remain my pin up bike. Fancy riding for 35 years and you're still only 80kgs,

I drink plenty of coffee; but I don't do the cigarettes.

I do nothing but eat!

Carl I clicked your service flags. That's a nice gesture that should be adopted in other countries. I'm pretty sure it isn't common in Australia.

Thanks, Warren. I, too, think it is a nice gesture. It started in the US in WWII.

My Standard with fairing

Looks really good. With the climate in Florida, I have no use for a fairing.

You’re able to ride a little faster with less wnd blast, even in the warm weather that we rarely get, I’m not jealous honestly

Here in the summer, our temps are regularly around 40 C and higher, A fairing just makes riding hotter.

Doesn’t your tiger have a screen that’s bigger than the fairing on the Thruxton?

 

[CarlS]

It is taller but not wider. It keeps the rain and wind pressure off of my chest; but I get plenty of air.
