Fitted a prototype layflat bracket to a stock thrux today, pics below.
Had to loosen & rotate the front brake line connection downward approx 1/4 turn. Even so, clearance was still very tight to the lower right edge of the tach cup. Inboard acorn nut clearance also tight... didn't have time to try it today but I've read that flipping the thrux's fork ears allows some additional clearance, although the ignition then relocates to the right side of the bike instead of the left. Also considering adding approx 1/16" to the height of the bevelled spacer underneath the bracket.
Finally got adequate clearance from the lower left edge of the speedo cup to the clutch cable elbow connection... just.
This one was a bitch - still needs some little tweaks... but pretty much there. As with the Bonneville... good to sit on the thrux and be able to see some of the headlamp... very different view out the front now.
