Triumph Thruxton Fairing fitted to Norton 961 - I want one (a lot)!

Clive said:

Ha that sounds like me with the little factory screen on my 961cr; 'Hey yes it looks so good with that screen fitted'. Then a month later; 'lets remind myself how it looks without - wow that's sooo much nicer'. A month later...........

Freewill Clive! ………”If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice”…..

Waiting for the 'You need to buy another 961 so you can have one with and one without'.

I have a red Ducati Supersport S for when I just love riding a fast modern sports bike with a big shiny fairing and my 961 for when I just love chugging around on an old traditional bike..... Am I indecisive???????

Indecisive? Dunno mate.

You’re wasting your life though.

Only TWO bikes?

How does that work ???

Yes only two bikes that's more than enough for any biker.

Shhhhh the wife monitors this forum.....

Pending ‘upgrade(??)’ to the 961CR - fitting the Triumph Thruxton race fairing. I’ve had it sat somewhere to the rear of the back burner for quite some time.

Looking at it again. Have the fairing and mounting, bike customisation/paint businesses identified. Gonna decide on this decidedly undecided endeavour!

Below representative images may be of use to anyone else contemplating this mod. Scale and aspect of the race fairing are not exact, but are a pretty close representation.

Looking good! I know it’s probably too early to tell, but will the clocks clear the fairing on full lock?

It looks fantastic!
Like cliffa said - everything clears the fairing lock to lock.
Seems you may even have room for higher clip-ons like the ABM units.

Clearance will be fine I believe Cliff, the fairing will be mounted to the original Thruxton fairing frame. The rear projections are too narrow for that fat ol’ Norton tank, so will need modification.

If anything, bar clearance may be key. Plenty of room for those ABM bars though BT, which is obviously a deciding factor.

Interesting that with the 961 ovelayed to the Thruxton, it shows that they have quite similar overall ergos. Clocks look to be at almost identical height. Bars are very different as you’d expect - the Thruxton must be like riding an armchair in comparison!
