I used your vid to do a fairing install on my ThrxRS. Thank you! Three things I would say to anyone doing one: 1. Take plenty of pics of the up close detail of the wiring inside the headlight housing to make it easier to fit them back in. 2. The turn signal wiring/extension could use a bit of rejacketing to get more "split" between left and right where it drops down to the signals themselves. That made is easier for me. 3. Use locktite green on the fairing to fairing subframe bolts as my bike (given it's a bit modded so maybe that makes it worse) vibrated loose and I lost one screw at some point before catching it and retorqueing them.
Great video. The fit on this kit is not exactly precision, but it's as good as it will come. I did a couple things differently... I loosened the main wiring harness on the left side of the frame to give the ends as much slack as possible to the headlight. You didn't mention the 2 rachet clips that secure the bottom of the plastic wiring shroud. I found them flimsy, so replaced it with a small nut and bolt. Lastly, I mounted the fairing to the windshield and respective subframe points first before buttoning everything else up. The fit of my kit was so off that I couldn't get the mounting holes to line up otherwise. Hope this helps others.
Bloody hell. Just bought a Thruxton R that had the cowl on but because I hate the look I asked them to take it off, they told me it would take a week as they’re so busy atm. Now I understand why!!! That’s a lot of work😳
Just a heads up; you didnt need to use the lower clipons to install the fairing i know like 10 thruxton riders who kept them on during their installs without any issues.
you make that seem so easy. no doubt you're a talented mechanic. i like your turn signals. can you please share a link or more info on them? i wouldn't mind adding those to my thurx 1200 r. thanks for sharing the great tutorial vid.

This mod makes a beautifull bike... perfect. Even my prefered color, not only on the painted parts but also on the engine. I envy you.
Thanks for the video, it was definitely helpful. The only issue I had was getting all the wiring to reach and fit back in the housing since the fairing bracket is longer I feel I didn't have as much slack for the wires but you did not seem to have that issue. Probably going to redo it again at some point.
@@lemonheadgarage this is what I came here to find out. I bought the kit unaware of the lowered clip ons. I want to keep the original bar height for comfort. Thanks!
I was told by Triumph main dealer last week if you use the standard clip on with the fairing it will fail the MOT (UK) as there is a lack of full range of motion - I asked as I wanted the standard clip ons instead of my current dropped clip ons.
Great video. Thank you. I have the 2022 Thruxton RS. Did you have to mess with the break line at all? Or anything with the fluid reservoir or the line to the fluid reservoir? The instructions seemed to call for it but I’m wondering if that can be avoided.
My confusion is about something much more simple: I have the same bike, with the same fairing. How the hell do I get to the headlight bulb? I am a total midwit when it comes to wrenching. Help?
thank you for the tutorial! Just a question: I am about to buy a thruxton rs 2024 which would come with a preinstalled fairing, but I'd like to change the halogen stock lamp with a LED one. Do you think I will need to remove the fairing to access the headlamp or it can be done without removing it? Thank you
NICELY DONE VIDEO! Quick question... the new clip-ons appear to drop... How much drop? looks like 2"? just trying to gauge the new ergos from this mod...
I have a T RS with the fairing and asked about the standard clip ons and if they would also be compatible with the fairing. Answer was no because there is a lack of full motion and would fail (UK) the MOT, I was told as the same time they are 2”
@@lemonheadgarage there is a recall due to installing the fairing(can have no headlights or turning signals), on mine later on the rear lights and horn failed, due to ignition failing-two wires disconnected inside the ignition), ignition replacing will need also new locks and keys and will cost is 1500$ . Just a heads up, take in if the recall is still open. Took mine 2 weeks ago and did all 3 recalls
@@lemonheadgarage yes! I already bought it and all parts were included. Without the fairing the motorcycle looks great but with it already installed looks amazing! Love it!
My friend, Thanks for your videos they help us a lot. This fairing side support that goes with the blinker I can't buy it here in Brazil is there any way I can send you the money and you can buy it there and send it to me I need the pair of it
If it worked it would be a total re-engineering job I'd look at aftermarket but good luck as it seems there is little interest in offering such which i dont understand....so many bikes there is nothing for
Well this convinced me not to do this. Seems like such a pain in the ass. I was on the fence because I like the bare headlight look. Thanks for the vid though! :)

Awesome video! It’s greatly appreciated, I always wondered what the process was
Great instructions. Just finished installing my fairing as well. Thank you!
Just a heads up; you didnt need to use the lower clipons to install the fairing i know like 10 thruxton riders who kept them on during their installs without any issues.
Good to know! The lower clip ons look the business, but I really want to keep the original bar height for comfort.

Hi João! Thank you for the kind words. I definitely love this bike, can’t get enough of it.
this looks like an exercise in frustration man. no way I have the patience. thanks for the step by step tho. much appreciated.

Jesus gorgeous bike especially with that fairing
I wish it worked with the handlebar risers.
It works with the originals bars. I did it for a little bit

This looks so effin beautiful
Is it just me or is there a crazy amount of wires in the headlight bucket?
Nice video - thanks for sharing!
Great video and a lot of work!
Where can I find a site to order the kit?
I can't find anything 😕
I have The simple Thruxton not the R
Thank you
Dang thats one friggin beautiful Thruxton. Any idea if the Fairing and mountings could be fitted onto a Speed Twin 1200 2022?
I couldnt tell you without looking at the bike. But IU doubt it correct mounts are there.
Good video thanks! Where did you get your handle bar extensions? Is there a stock number?
Super helpful. Doing this soon and parts on order. I heard you can use the stock (higher) clip ons -do you know if that’s true?
Yes it is!
@@lemonheadgarage thx! Getting one for my '22 Thruxton soon then.

@@supercrazysane government thing?
@@dougiequick1 yes, annual inspection 🤓
Wanted to see how to disconnect the connectors in the headlight bowl…any tips?
Do you waive the torque settings of the bolts/clamps for the top triple tree ? When putting;g it back together
Great video. Thank you. I have the 2022 Thruxton RS. Did you have to mess with the break line at all? Or anything with the fluid reservoir or the line to the fluid reservoir? The instructions seemed to call for it but I’m wondering if that can be avoided.
Hi, I did not touch the brake lines at all. Just make sure to keep the reservoir upright so it doesn't induce bubbles.
My confusion is about something much more simple: I have the same bike, with the same fairing. How the hell do I get to the headlight bulb? I am a total midwit when it comes to wrenching. Help?
Why is it missing a screw on the windshield and missing the bottom plastic piece?
Can you just have it done at the shop! I love the bike, love the fairing, more than I want to do! Thank you!
Totally could, just might cost you a little bit!
Great video- about to do the same job. Thanks!
Fuuuuuuck that exhaust is so nice. Great vid, man. Bike looks the business.
I'd want to get this entire lovely fairing, but the order link is now sold out. Do you have any links that you recommend I order from? Thanks
Hi, there might be a few other websites that sell then out there. You could also call your local Triumph to see if they have any in stock!
@@lemonheadgarage I am living in Cambodia and in here we have no dealer of Triumph store. anyway thank you so much.

I got a question...Are all the parts incluided in the kit? Or you have to buy one by one? Thanks!
Yes! If you buy the fairing set it should come with everything you need, minus tools.
@@lemonheadgarage yes! I already bought it and all parts were included. Without the fairing the motorcycle looks great but with it already installed looks amazing! Love it!
Why is there so many wires to the front light??? and can you keep the stock height of the bars with the fairing?

Those "V" headlight brackets. Where can I purchase those?
If online, a link would be really helpful
They came stock on the bike!
@@lemonheadgarage Ok
How hard is it to get to the bolts that hold the headlight in when you need to change the bulb?
its not too difficult, just a few screws/bolts!
Dumb question here, do you need to lower the clip-ons or will the standard ones work just fine?
Erik Jansen According to many sources the standard clip-ons do work.
@@CaptainLeftHook Thank you for getting back to me.
@@erikjansen8597 No problem mate.
It will work but will fail the MOT due to lack of full range of motion - I asked Triumph as was thinking about doing the same
@@supercrazysane Varies from country to country. No such thing as MOT in Finland. No one will ever know.
Great video
Will the front fairing Go with a Royal Enfield GT650?
If it worked it would be a total re-engineering job I'd look at aftermarket but good luck as it seems there is little interest in offering such which i dont understand....so many bikes there is nothing for
Can i use the stock clips on with this fairing ?
Yup!
@@lemonheadgarage thanks
I want to buy this clip ons please send me link !!
Hi! they are just the Oem clipons that come with the fairing when i bought it!
That headlight wiring looks like an absolute nightmare… 😬
That bike is filthy. I would never treat my bike like that.
You're definitely right! Its can be difficult to keep up with all the vehicles! Thanks for watching!
Well this convinced me not to do this. Seems like such a pain in the ass. I was on the fence because I like the bare headlight look. Thanks for the vid though! :)
