2016 thruxton R with a straight handle bar
Hi all!
I bought my Thruxton R back in 2016 from a guy who simply didn't like the bike. It only has 1'200 km on the clock. While I rode it a lot at first, my rides became less and less. I always found the seating position very uncomfortable, especially on my wrists. After 40 minutes I couldn't enjoy riding any more as I had to concentrate on my position for my hands not to get numb.
A couple of weeks ago I put on the LSL conversion kit that virtually transforms the bike into a "Speed Thruxton". Gone are the wrist problems and my love for this bike and its engine reignited! It also suits the bike visually and doesn't look out of place. You get Speed Twin ergonomics but with the beautiful long Thruxton tank!
I was lucky to find a new LSL kit with the needed paperwork as the company unfortunately doesn't exist any longer.
