She's a beauty, which, of course, is better given that she's black! As Sweat says, "if it ain't black, take it back!"

thanks Nohawk
First there are velocity stacks on the carbs that open to 2 3/4" diameter. The black angled part is a silicone rubber adapter (I cut two from one 90 degree part) that has a 2 3/4" ID and a 3" OD. The UNIs have a 3" ID, but needed some way to angle downward for clearance. A lot of this stuff, including the "muffler" (except the stacks, which I make) is made for hopped up jappy cars, and is quite reasonably priced due to the market and volume.

Sweet ride! nice work on the fenders and dash... very slick and understated.
Does your Triumph brake reservoir site glass face forward or towards the rider? I just received one and the glass faces forward. Don't think I'm going to install it as it will bug the sh*t out of me not being able to see it while I'm on the bike..

Thanks for the nice words fellas, shoulda explained in the original post that I have just installed new kellerman turn signals, new lsl race pegs (neither of which are visible in the pics) and of course the dash is none other than one of D9's fine lay flat brackets as well as some of his spun cups in black. To fit the dash I flipped my headlights brackets, while I had them off I went ahead and polished them up. Lovin this bike more all the time, of course with time the bike becomes more mine good fun!:ride:
Photonboy: My sight glass points away from me, almost directly at the throttle. Never has bothered me, don't think you could really check it out well when riding anyway.

Number plates!
Mass Engineering, I brushed and had a friend paint a number on them with 1-shot.
The rest of the mods...
• NB.com Lights - Brushed bullets and lucals tail
• BC Performance kit
• NH Ace bars
• Threw away the chain guard
I think that's it.

My recently acquired Thruxton
I finally bought a Thruxton a couple of weeks ago. I've been meaning to post up a couple of pics, but I thought I would wait until after this little trip up to the Ace last Saturday. A 230 mile round trip through the twisty little roads of the Southern English countryside, stopping off at the spiritual home of the café racer. Great day.
The bike is almost completely stock at the moment, but I have lots of stuff on order to modify it quite a bit. I will post photos as things progress.

ok...I messaged the guy who posted this and didn't hear back - can anyone tell me how you do this - where is the battery and where did he put all of the wiring that goes on the battery box? This is such a sweet looking bike I've been staring at it forever...
Switch to gel batteries, remove pillion seat under cowl, lengthen wiring and put it all under there and get the seat re-covered. Its my next to do on the bike. You also need to fab a bracket to hold the rear brake res. You need a capacitor in line with the gel batteries to prevent over charging them.

Rocket. Congrats on the new bike. Great trip to the Ace Cafe.
So how does the bike look these days? What mods have you done?
