looks VERY good... great thinkin! [clap]

Thanks! I'm really pleased with it. ;D
Couldn't believe how long it took to get the darn thing, and in the end it wasn't exactly what I ordered (I ordered plain black, but only the checkerboard version is available in Canada/US). A little sanding and paint work and it'll be done.

Desmosedici - it's the new Paso (except the bodywork doesn't fit as well)

Thanks guys. I definitely like the look of it.

It'll remain to be seen if there's any improvement in wind deflection with the fairing vs without. I lowered my headlight so the fairing sits quite low as well. In hindsight I probably should have left the headlight in the stock position so the fairing would sit higher. Live and learn.

Looks good. Is there any way to remove the Triumph logo?

Looks nice, much better than stock IMO.  I still prefer the no flyscreen look but that's not bad.

Thanks ;D
Unfortunately the logo and checkerboard are clearcoated over so I'll have to sand and re-spray some of it. I originally ordered an all-black fairing but evidentally Triumph doesn't offer a solid colour one in North America. The checkerboard is the only option for the Thruxton fairing.

I suppose I could strategically place a Ducati logo over the Triumph one in a pinch. ;)

Um, that's a nice motorcycle. I really like the BST wheels.  Dropped headlight looks good. I hope it cuts some wind out for you, but hey your gauges are protected.

The flyscreen looks a lot like the Dart piece, similar shape and size. I've got the Dart and now am thinking about putting some dark tint on the backside. The Triumph part looks like it was meant for the Monster. Great bike man, when the snow outside melts and you get some sun, why not clean it up and provide us with some real glamour shots?
