- 2019 licensed about a decade earlier.
Took a very short test ride on my Thruxton after installing some mods. Mods included removal of airbox, new polished aluminum fenders front and rear, new billet aluminum signals front and rear, a new tail brake light with bracket/plate (fender delete kit) and a separate rear license plate bracket. Both rear brackets were modified and not installed as intended by manufacturer, I changed and cut them to work. Front fender was polished from a brushed aluminum. What remains to be done is installing the carburetor jets and adjustments. It was clear after a brief ride that the jets would be needed. There was some carburetor backfire after the engine warmed up. This was not present prior to the airbox removal and install of K&N filters. I could tell there was a more responsive feel with a more free breathing air system. Next step is figuring out which jets I need to install from the kit. There were several and shims.
