Don't believe a word of it! Size does Matter!! How can you live with such a Monstrosity!!! To make a Thruxton 1200 R/RS into a real cafe racer a few tweeks here and there are mandatory.
I have a few options... If you want to loose the fender, I have eliminator kits.
For those that didn't buy a modern classic, by mistake.) I have made a "real"
tail light kit any traditional cafe racer enthusiast would adore.
Mounted and secured by the same 3 screws that secure stock light. Tail light housing deceivingly floats above fender so no metal-paint contact is made. No Special tools needed. 8mm socket and 17mm wrench will do the job. Add quick connect harness and plug in.
Kit is available with choice of 4 different tail lamps. With or without turn signals. Custom aluminum housing finished in Polished, brushed satin or black, all with stainless hardware.
Whether you prefer a fender eliminator or fender mount tail lamp housing, it's a bolt on fitting part with plug & play hook up. These hand made custom kits are a great deal considering the design and work involved in their being.
