I'm 9 months into owning my 2018 Thruxton R and have done a TON of upgrades and just had to share! Triumph Thruxton Thruxton R Motorcycle Biker Cafe Racer
“Custom” is a synonym for “bleeding me dry.” Can’t resist the mods available for Triumphs; Motone Customs is running a cash pipeline to my bank. I’ll be 70 this year, so my Speedmaster suits the peculiarities of an aging body, but I love the look of your Thruxton. Be nice to hear it run, especially with that Motone x-pipe and those shorties.
Hey there! 2016 owner, many of the same mods, Analog FEK, Cone Shorty's, X pipe, Evotech engine guard (to cover the big hole left after CAT removal), and this past weekend changed the front and rear sprockets to T120 parts - huge difference in rideability, highly recommend the sprocket change..... enjoy
@@tims-garage 7K miles on the chain, and when I removed the stock 16/42 sprockets they showed minimal wear. Replaced with T120 17/37 sprockets which are plug & play, no change in chain length, just slight adjustment for tension. 80mph is now at 3500rpm instead of 4500, and overall gearing just feels perfect.
@@tims-garage hey there.... always felt like I needed another gear to shift into (after 6th) especially on the freeway, now with the new ratios it "feels" more natural, and doesn't feel like I ran out of gears. Even 55mph at 3000rpm just feels better that previous. In short, engine revs, shift points all feel better sized for me, so whether its cruising from point A to B, or carving up some fun roads, that rideability just "feels" much better to me!
Hey Tim, great video! So I’ve got a new Thruxton RS and was wondering how much of a difference the de-kat made in terms of power? Just bought some Arrow slip on’s which sound great, but no noticeable power difference.
Everything we do in life involves a risk assessment. The lights a super bright and Im always cautious when turning. I'd say my risk is not much higher than riding in general.
Can you link the headlight you got? Been looking for a blue tint light for mine but can’t find one that’s the right size. Also do you have a video of the throttle adjustment?
@@tims-garage the beauty, matches the beast! I saw you did one of the Oakland night rides. I’ve gone once myself. Are you planning on doing any more Bay Area ride outs?
@@tims-garage yes, i have heard that it doesnt which i thought its very weird....i think i saw a gear pn the digital screen with a bar next to it....i thought i would ask. im thinking about getting this R model, its just beautiful. thank you for the reply sir!

Lower clip on kit and a gauge lowering kit. Done it to mine and its so much better.
Very cool! I like the brushed metal parts myself- not sure if I’d go black on those. Great looking bike.
Nice Thruxton, very clean 👍 That helmet is sweet as well - hope you don't mind me asking what brand and model that is? Thanks and ride safe
Really nice mods! Looking great.
Beautiful mods!
Droooooooool........love the look!!! How is it living without the mudguard?
Sucks in the rain!
Can u put out a link for front fender and that helmet?
Tell me, please, the name of tale tidy and where can I buy it?
what pop up gas tank cap is that? any on amazon fits? or do u have to get the right fitment? link to the cap would be nice, thanks
Cap is OEM
My thruxton's top triple has been already scrached by the spare key. It's kind of disappointed things
Looking good
Hey Tim, great video! So I’ve got a new Thruxton RS and was wondering how much of a difference the de-kat made in terms of power? Just bought some Arrow slip on’s which sound great, but no noticeable power difference.
Good question! It does feel a lot peppier for sure. And sounds way better

Nice! What slip on cans are you using? Did you say Kone?
Who made your key tab mate? I'm in England so I'd love to know? 🤙🏼
Nice colour 👌 Thanks for all the info. But why risk your life for not so good looking front hazards?
Everything we do in life involves a risk assessment. The lights a super bright and Im always cautious when turning. I'd say my risk is not much higher than riding in general.
Which LED did you put in the headlight?

Sweet, thanks! Does it have a blue tint?
Also, those engine slides are super low profile, where are they from?
Do you have a link or name for the gas cap? That would help out TONS when refueling.
Sure! I actually have a video on that and the link is in the description
Beautiful bike. What’s the name of the gas cap you’re using now?
Got a pop up cap that makes life so much easier!
Where did you get the pop up cap?!
Beautiful motorcycle. How does it compare to your street triple?
@@tims-garage the beauty, matches the beast! I saw you did one of the Oakland night rides. I’ve gone once myself. Are you planning on doing any more Bay Area ride outs?
What’s that seat called again¿
It's the stock seat with the Thruxton
@@tims-garage so the stock seat can accommodate 2 people?!
@@nimayegan3 it can if you remove the cowel, but it's not comfortable. The 2 up seat is recommended.
no roar?? :(
does it have a gear indicator?
Are you asking if the bike lets you know what gear you're in? If you are then, yes it does.
@@tims-garage yes, i have heard that it doesnt which i thought its very weird....i think i saw a gear pn the digital screen with a bar next to it....i thought i would ask. im thinking about getting this R model, its just beautiful. thank you for the reply sir!
@@andreisames3021 yes sir! It does. Get one! You won't regret it!
@@tims-garage I appreciate !!!
