The Thruxton Fairing - Handcrafted Excellence
We've been selling this fairing for less than a year now, but that was enough to make it one of the best selling fairings in the shop.
People love the sleek look of it, a nice balance of modern and retro vibes, and of course the fact that they get a handcrafted, unique piece of art. Not to mention that it's considerably cheaper than Triumph's original fairing made in plastic.
The Thruxton fairing sits now on bikes in many parts of the world, but we wanted to share with you 2 bikes that stand out. One is a Street Cup from Japan built by Hideki Ohtani, the other a Thruxton 900 by Beniamino Finocchiaro from Italy. Incidentally, both are professional photographers and both built stunning bikes which are getting a lot of positive recognition online.
If you're interested in getting this fairing for your bike (available for the air cooled Bonneville, the Street Twin/Street Cup and the new T100), or other custom made parts, please visit our website:

Project SUNMASTER 14: Completed
It's been one and a half years in the making, with up and downs and lots of newly gained experiences, but it's finally done. You've probably seen some of the work I've done here on the blog but I've been careful not to give too much away.
Last week she had an appointment with the guys @ FAT pictures, who shot some great photos at an abandoned car dealer.

People are quick to label everything out of the ordinary as
café racers these days, but my bike is definitely not one. My inspiration comes
from the racing bikes of the 60’s and 70’s, where every part had the specific objective
to make the bike go faster. My goal was to create a bike with simple, timeless lines
and with an eye for the essential.
The first thing you notice are the sensual curves of the
one-off custom made aluminium fairing, made by the same supplier who also
crafted the brushed aluminium tank and the seat cowl. The leather seat was made
by the guys at The
Sports, one of Thailand’s best customizers. The tank strap, the
plexiglass fender under the seat and the tank badge on the other hand, are
my own work.
The frame has been powder coated….3 times! “The first shop
I’ve sent the frame to, managed to do an awful job, twice! It was only when I
found Cog’n’Roll,
a powder coating shop in Bangkok, that it turned out the way I had envisioned
it. I think this satin dark bronze color looks great and matches the dark brown
leather parts on the bike.
The engine was stripped down, cleaned and rebuilt and while
the internals haven’t been touched, lots of goodies have been added on the
outside. It now inhales through an open Keihin FCR39 carburetor and exhales
through a powerful sounding megaphone muffler. Several engine add-ons like an
oil cooler and bigger sized cooling fins ensure the proper cooling in
Thailand’s hot weather.
A special mention should go to Nose at Paknam
2 Wheels, the only guy I trust to work on my SR. He got me out of an
electrical nightmare and I’m forever grateful for that.
Sunmaster 14 doesn’t just look the part, it runs on
quality parts as a racing bike should: Akront rims, Ohlins rear shocks and WP
progressive springs at the front, Over rear sets, as well as a lightweight aluminium swingarm.
This
is my first custom job from the ground up. It has been a challenge at times and
a great learning experience. I must say, I’m very happy with the final result.
Next week it will go to Siam Discovery, a very big shopping centre in Bangkok, to be shown as part of an exhibition called "Art on the move". Fitting, very fitting.

Customer's Creations
A special blog post today.
Independently to each other, a few customers decided to send me some pictures of their bikes, after they mounted their Omega Racer parts, of course.
First off, Stéphane Lavillonniere from France. Stéphane owns a splendid Yamaha XS nd needed a cafe seat for his project. Not finding the right seat, he decided to get the Cafe Rocker V2.0 for the SR400/500 and modify it to fit his bike. To keep the rear fender in place he used a 6mm stainless steel screw with brass washers. Good job Stéphane!

And after a lot of work, Jimmy's efforts really show and shine on this beast.

Next is Jimmy Cash. He ordered a Norton Dunstall aluminium tank for his cafe racer SR500 and painted it black with classic blue Yamaha stripes.
This is how it looked in August 2013.
More lovely creations...
