    D9 Sharkey V1 Headlight Brackets

    Guys, I've got to sing the praises of our fellow NBR member Seth and D9 Bonneville Brackets http://bonnevillebrackets.com/. I don't typically buy "bling" for my bikes, preferring functional items that improve performance, handling, braking or comfort. However, wanting to replace the awfull...

    How far can it go after fuel light comes on?

    I was 60km, that's 37 miles in old money, from home and about to fuel up when I realised I'd forgotten both my wallet and phone. :mad2: I found out today that I can ride 60km (37 miles) after the low fuel light comes on. Made it home, but that bike was suckin' fumes. :woot:

    Bonnie or T100

    I'm giving serious consideration to getting rid of my Yamaha FZ09, next spring, and getting either a Bonnie, or a T100. I'm thinking Bonnie, but would there be any advantage to the T100?

    WTB Thruxton Headlight Brackets

    Hey guys. I'm looking for a pair of stock, or aftermarket, headlight (ears) brackets for a 2005 Thruxton. I might even consider trading a top triple clamp/yoke and risers for the headlight brackets.

    What's a guy to do?

    WWYD? I ordered some items, online, for the Thruxton. The items arrived by mail and I quickly installed them. Three days later the same items show up in my mailbox again. I took them to the post office and had the package returned to sender. I informed the vendor, who was appreciative. A...

    Repairing Gauge Wiring

    After switching from clip-ons to standard bars I lost a couple of the idiot lights on the gauge cluster. It turns out a number of the wires had been wet, corroded and then had broken. No problem, I'll solder them back together, I thought...NOT! The wires in the gauge cluster wiring loom...

    HT Ignition Coil Failure

    This post is simply an FYI and hopefully will add to the knowledge base of this fine forum. My '05 Thruxton, at about 60,000km, on occassion began missing on deceleration. Once or twice it just simply "sat down", quit, died, there was power but no ignition. Generally though, it ran well. I...

    Ottawa/Montreal Hook-Up

    I'm working here in Hawkesbury (L'Orignal actually) for the rest of the year and I brought my Thruxton to keep me sane. I was wondering if there are any forum members in the Ottawa Montreal area would care to hook-up for a ride?

    It just..........fell off!

    My tail light lense......it just fell off. :huh: All I was left with were two little pieces of red plastic under the screw heads. I wonder if it has something to do with the type of oil I use?

    First Ride of '09

    The sun is shining, the roads are dry, if a little salty, and the temperature got all the way up to a balmy 5C. I thought I might get the Thrux out for a first ride today but after doing a little yard work I figured the windchill made it a little too cold to ride. Then a couple of other hardy...

    Alright?

    I may have already exchanged pleasantries with some of you on other similar forums. I'm an ex-pat Ulsterman and have been living in Ontario, Canada for the past thirty years. I currently own an '05 Thruxton.
