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)

(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?
-
@Lindsey did Bryan get to take his bike home at the end of the day, or does @Sam still have it?
Your wing mirror is looking a bit sorry for itself.
@louisbosco if you want to do the S1000RR thing, then get the HP4 Race when it comes out. You might have to sell both kidneys to afford it…
The kid on the Iron Heart bike is very cute.
