It's a headlight made by Holley and a metal ring that's nearly invisible once installed - I'm very happy with the one I got from a shop I know and trust!

@@wpanik I think "trust" is a not a word we'd use. We trusted them and found out the hard way. That's our design, they stole it and used us along the way. The community should know that.

@@broguemotorcycles Whatever you think you need man!

Thanks so much!

@@wpanik I have question did the bike runs great afterwards because I'm planing to do it on my speed twin 1200

@@Zen635-q7y It ran just fine. Immediately after finishing I ran the auto re-program (start the bike in neutral, don't touch the throttle, let it idle for 12 min). That was fine, but I did install a DNK Tuneworks tune through TuneECU a bit later to take advantage of the better airflow. I had it on a dyno that showed 89-hp, 79-tq at the rear wheel. Still a little rich in places on the dyno chart, but good overall.

Unfortunately I already had an LED bulb in the stock housing so it wouldn't be a great comparison. If you follow the link in the description, there's actually a comparison pic on the A&J website!

Of course! Glad it was helpful.

Glad it was helpful! Hope you get it sorted.

That's great! I love hearing the different things people have used the video for.

Of course! That part have me so much trouble. Can't tell you how many times over looked up TH-cam videos for stuff like that so glad I could help!

For the right price I'm sure they would! I know Brian and crew have done airbox deletes in the past.

Hey there! Hate that the link is dead. It was a Firepower lithium battery with 180 CCA, 12V/36WH. I also see LFP02 in the description which might be the part number.

Glad to hear it!

Thanks!

Pump gas!

Thanks! They're actually the OEM Triumph clip ons that come with the café fairing.

Thanks! I'm honestly not in love with them either, but the bike needs them. The tank is so narrow and slick there that it's very difficult to grip without the pads.

Thank you so much!

So sorry I missed this comment, I hope you got it sorted! I had received them already coated and with the bearings installed.

Thank you! It was a really fun project.

It was a lot of work but totally worth it!

I bought them second hand for about $200. But I think if you buy each cover direct from Triumph they're about $200 each side.

Hey there! No sorry, no documentation other than the links and things shared in the video descriptions. But you can always reach out to me on Instagram (@wpanikphotog) or Facebook (William Panik) messengers to ask questions and I'll do my best to help!

Hmm...I do not remember specifically. If you're sure everything is disconnected properly, it's likely the old gasket holding it tight. I would take a rubber mallet and start with some light taps increasing force until it pops free.

Great! Thank you for the input. I do still have it :) I keep thinking about swapping it out for a Scrambler 1200 but I just can't seem to do it!

Hi Steve - both covers say 10 Nm.

@@wpanik thanks! I broke down and subscribed to the triumph tech info. How did you get the cover off? It’s snug.

@@steveFL450 If it's a subscription which can be cancelled, and if it's actually a Thruxton you have, there's a full version of the shop manual here! drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DOGndAJsmMhbImnQRwOMYiGKYIWsZF8z As for the clutch cover, I don't exactly remember what I did. Once I had re-confirmed that everything is correctly disconnected, I would start tapping on it with a rubber mallet until the seal was broken with the old gasket.

@@wpanik I have a speed twin actually. Thanks for your reply, you’re super helpful.

@@steveFL450 Thanks! I try to be!

Glad to hear it! Thanks for the kind words.

They were changing a little but then I got something melted to them. I did a full Scotch Brite of them and they went back to their factory coloring. After a couple of years they're starting to take on a good bronzing again.

The thing that kept tripping me up was thinking that if I had it in place correctly, I should be able to actuate it with my hand. However, this turned out not to be the case. I needed the mechanical advantage of the clutch lever to actually move it. So I had done it correctly several times without actually realizing it. I would say if it feels like you've got it and it's not freely spinning. Maybe throw 4 or so bolts in to hold the cover on and then give the lever a pull to see if it's working. Keep in mind that you can always put the bike in gear and see whether or not the clutch is actuating without needing to start it!

@@wpanik What did you mean by spinning? What's supposed to be spinning here? I ask because I'm having the hardest time getting that rod inside the cover to catch the button properly and when I think I have it, it's movement goes from 10 (o'clock) to 2 (o'clock) but in reality shouldn't it be going from 3 (oclock) to 12 (oclock)?

Nothing should be freely spinning. That's what I was getting at. If you haven't caught the linkage, the shift lever will be able to spin all the way around because it's not catching anything. Did you remove the actual shift lever from its shaft at any point? That shaft and lever are splined so that you can adjust the actual shift position. That said, if you didn't remove the lever from the shaft, the position wouldn't have changed from where it was when you started. However, if you did separate them, it's possible you just changed the alignment when putting it back together.

No sweat! Thanks for the kind words.

Great tip! Thanks for that!

Glad it was helpful!

Of course! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the kind words.

Sorry for missing this comment! You are more than welcome to link/use stills.

@@wpanik Thank you William, I do appreciate it. I couldn't get any decent images of the clutch & alternator covers removed, so you've been very helpful. And no need to apologise either, I also appreciate that keeping up with comments can be, erm, somewhat demanding... Anyway, thanks again, William. All the best, Chris

Thanks so much! I have really loved having my Thruxton. I think what I most enjoy is how modern it manages to feel while still having amazing classic looks.

Sorry for missing this comment! I believe that should be possible although I have not actually tried it that way myself.

If the money doesn't matter, might as well go for the RS. But they're certainly similar enough that if money is tight at all, you wouldn't ever notice the difference going with an R!

@@wpanik It's not tight, but i don't know if i can wait that long 🤣

@@maniaq112 Well that's another good reason then! 😂

Thanks for the kind words! Curious if you wound up making the change!

Thanks so much! Unfortunately not. My plan is to never own a "forever bike." Nothing wrong with that, there's just so much it there to explore! If I were going to have one though…this might be it!

Thanks so much!

Hmm…that's interesting. Unfortunately I don't know how helpful I'll be… I'm in the US as well and had no issue. But my bike is also a 2016 so it's totally possible they've updated something in the emissions system… Hopefully this won't come across as condescending, but have you double checked that the fuel pump is reconnected properly? If so, have you checked to see if there's power going to the pump? I realize that if the ECU is cutting it, you probably wouldn't see power in the connector either; but if you are getting power to the pump and it's still not kicking on, maybe it's something in the pump..?

It was the 490-2531. I have a full parts list in the description of video 4!

Thank you so much! I've lived having it.

Thanks for that! Very kind.

So glad it was helpful for you! Thank you so much for adding your comments on the differences between this and the RS model! I have pinned it so that it can hopefully help others.

So glad I could be of service!

Yeah, that's a good point. I do need a ride-along video! I do have a full exhaust video posted from off the bike which gives a pretty good feel for the sound.

Not sure I understand what you mean. Edit: Ah I get it: air. You're saying there's no reason to allow more air in if the exhaust is blocking it from getting out. Well that is absolutely true, but this bike does not still use the cat. It has the Arrow headers which are straight through, but leave the cat in place as a cross over pipe!

@@wpanik please excuse my ignorance of that particular exhaust system BUT IMHO the cat is still restrictive even as as crossover it does however balance exhaust pressures but at the cost of a couple kilos of weight. When you've been so effective putting other areas of the bike on a diet. Your bike your call keep up the good work !

No sweat! You're exactly right and I get questions on it frequently. I do plan to replace it with a simple pipe at some point.

I'm a snowflake, but you're the one bent out of shape because I don't like someone else's content..? Ok.... 😂
