I think that my quest for indicators might be over. I'm liking the new Rizoma Leggera.
Now I just need to find somewhere who'll sell me a set.

Nice! Those will look awesome on the Thruxton.
-
@Sam and @summ3rhays, the R nine T really needs the aluminium tank on it. Apparently the version with the exposed is even sexier.
The Leggera indicators are unavailable until late April. Looks like I'll have to wait.
-
The aluminum tank looks amazing.
Here is a little update after I swapped out the seat with the Roland Sands
-
Nice seat @summ3rhays.
I'm tempted by the Wilder Factory Humpback saddle. It's intended for two-up riding, but it'd give me a position to attach an SW-Motech Legend Gear saddle bags, or similar, for carting stuff around.
-
That seat is perfect for the Thruxton. I dig the red stitching.
-
With the Rizoma retro reverse mirrors. Pretty happy with the outcome.
-
Those bar-end mirrors are a big improvement. I'm looking forward to seeing the bike with the indicators and tail-tidy in place.
I'm thinking of getting the humpback seat with the gold stitching to match the Ohlins suspension, though I agree that the red looks great. I might get the quilting extended down the sides, as that would tidy up the seam at the start of the hump, and up the back panel. The former is a standard option, the latter might be a bit of an ask.
There's also a matching tank strap.

We just had a visit from Bryan (top chap from Woking) & his week old, pride & joy BMW R9T. He left rocking a cuffed pair of 666S-18 & even let @Sam have a ride around the carpark.. Surprisingly enough, he didn't offer me a ride (we've all seen the side of my poor car now haven't we)

actually no i have not. and with all the bmw motorrad bikes, i can't wait till the day i get my s1000rr. i know it's a different crowd to what's on here, but i've got a serious lust for it.
-
I like that idea @Graeme! Can't wait to see how it turns out.
I like how people are making the RnineT their own. I like the style ^
@louisbosco That looks like pure riding joy.
-
@summ3rhays i have to admit, i've got a soft spot for supersport bikes. think 1299s panigale, rsv4 or this s1000rr. currently though i'm allowed to ride up to 650cc but my ninja250r is getting me the experience i need.
i've test rode the 1299s and the s1000rr and i feel the s1000rr is more daily friendly.
p.s Akra is to bmw as to termi to ducati
-
@louisbosco OUCH!
-
OUCH!
hahaha oh my. even the mirror has to be held together by sticky tape. surprising that the paint's still intact where the dent is. what exactly happened?
