Triumph Thruxton R // How To Install A Full Fairing

I was finally able to get the fairing i've been wanting for this bike. I found this fairing on Ebay from Triumph Seattle.

[@hektoerdonovan2121]

I used your vid to do a fairing install on my ThrxRS. Thank you! Three things I would say to anyone doing one: 1. Take plenty of pics of the up close detail of the wiring inside the headlight housing to make it easier to fit them back in. 2. The turn signal wiring/extension could use a bit of rejacketing to get more "split" between left and right where it drops down to the signals themselves. That made is easier for me. 3. Use locktite green on the fairing to fairing subframe bolts as my bike (given it's a bit modded so maybe that makes it worse) vibrated loose and I lost one screw at some point before catching it and retorqueing them.

[@lemonheadgarage]

Thanks for watching! Those are great tips!

[@jedblavla5206]

Bloody hell. Just bought a Thruxton R that had the cowl on but because I hate the look I asked them to take it off, they told me it would take a week as they’re so busy atm. Now I understand why!!! That’s a lot of work😳

[@stefanlageambecker6077]

How can you hate that look????

[@coachron3524]

Much more work than I was expecting. Thank you for this, very helpful!

[@sp1pilot]

Great video. The fit on this kit is not exactly precision, but it's as good as it will come. I did a couple things differently... I loosened the main wiring harness on the left side of the frame to give the ends as much slack as possible to the headlight. You didn't mention the 2 rachet clips that secure the bottom of the plastic wiring shroud. I found them flimsy, so replaced it with a small nut and bolt. Lastly, I mounted the fairing to the windshield and respective subframe points first before buttoning everything else up. The fit of my kit was so off that I couldn't get the mounting holes to line up otherwise. Hope this helps others.

[@lemonheadgarage]

Great tips! These can be helpful for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@pepemanolo390]

brutal change in the thruxton .. totally recommended

[@xIIxpetey454xIIx]

Awesome video! It’s greatly appreciated, I always wondered what the process was

[@MKlukowski]

Great instructions. Just finished installing my fairing as well. Thank you!

[@zacbatx1017]

Thanks for the video, it was definitely helpful. The only issue I had was getting all the wiring to reach and fit back in the housing since the fairing bracket is longer I feel I didn't have as much slack for the wires but you did not seem to have that issue. Probably going to redo it again at some point.

[@lemonheadgarage]

Awesome! Yeah it come be tricky sometimes. Thanks for watching!

[@FunWithAJ]

Just a heads up; you didnt need to use the lower clipons to install the fairing i know like 10 thruxton riders who kept them on during their installs without any issues.

This mod makes a beautifull bike... perfect. Even my prefered color, not only on the painted parts but also on the engine. I envy you.

[@lemonheadgarage]

Hi João! Thank you for the kind words. I definitely love this bike, can’t get enough of it.

[@chetlyp]

this looks like an exercise in frustration man. no way I have the patience. thanks for the step by step tho. much appreciated.

[@lemonheadgarage]

haha if you take your time its not bad at all’

[@jonathandelvalle1749]

Jesus gorgeous bike especially with that fairing

[@tomjom4865]

Should put a belly pan would complete the look

[@19762002bmw]

Is it just me or is there a crazy amount of wires in the headlight bucket? Nice video - thanks for sharing!

[@lancevoorhees7318]

Can you just have it done at the shop! I love the bike, love the fairing, more than I want to do! Thank you!

[@lemonheadgarage]

Totally could, just might cost you a little bit!

[@hlpang1075]

Wanted to see how to disconnect the connectors in the headlight bowl…any tips?

[@lazaroslazaros636zxr]

Great video and a lot of work! Where can I find a site to order the kit? I can't find anything 😕 I have The simple Thruxton not the R Thank you

[@khullaasaand]

This looks so effin beautiful

[@scottstambaugh8473]

My confusion is about something much more simple: I have the same bike, with the same fairing. How the hell do I get to the headlight bulb? I am a total midwit when it comes to wrenching. Help?

[@grantdabb8564]

Great video- about to do the same job. Thanks!

[@theghostinthem]

Why is it missing a screw on the windshield and missing the bottom plastic piece?

[@IanRiot]

thank you for the tutorial! Just a question: I am about to buy a thruxton rs 2024 which would come with a preinstalled fairing, but I'd like to change the halogen stock lamp with a LED one. Do you think I will need to remove the fairing to access the headlamp or it can be done without removing it? Thank you

[@acerides1724]

Do you waive the torque settings of the bolts/clamps for the top triple tree ? When putting;g it back together

[@neytatoantonio2597]

Good morning my friend, I need a TPS butterfly sensor for Triumph Thruxton R 1200 2018. I wonder if you can get it for me, to send here in Brazil.

[@patriciobaez]

Good video thanks! Where did you get your handle bar extensions? Is there a stock number?

[@amsorrywa]

tell me about the top yoke nut socket ,How can found & spec

[@lemonheadgarage]

Hi! If I remember correctly it was either a 27 or a 32? I have the torque specs in the video!

Fuuuuuuck that exhaust is so nice. Great vid, man. Bike looks the business.

Very useful and detailed steps. Tq

[@neytatoantonio2597]

My friend, Thanks for your videos they help us a lot. This fairing side support that goes with the blinker I can't buy it here in Brazil is there any way I can send you the money and you can buy it there and send it to me I need the pair of it

[@djknucklez1]

Well this convinced me not to do this. Seems like such a pain in the ass. I was on the fence because I like the bare headlight look. Thanks for the vid though! :)

[@dandaps]

I’m same, I’ve got track racer kit and I’m thinking of removing it as a prefer the naked look better,

[@taurussongfai927]

Is this fairing kit suitable for triumph speed twin??

[@rogerinwales]

Great video, thanks!

[@hunczar]

Super helpful. Doing this soon and parts on order. I heard you can use the stock (higher) clip ons -do you know if that’s true?

[@lemonheadgarage]

Yes it is!

[@hunczar]

@@lemonheadgarage thx! Getting one for my '22 Thruxton soon then.

[@supercrazysane]

I was told by Triumph main dealer last week if you use the standard clip on with the fairing it will fail the MOT (UK) as there is a lack of full range of motion - I asked as I wanted the standard clip ons instead of my current dropped clip ons.

@@supercrazysane government thing?

[@supercrazysane]

@@dougiequick1 yes, annual inspection 🤓

[@adamjustinmoseley]

Great video. Thank you. I have the 2022 Thruxton RS. Did you have to mess with the break line at all? Or anything with the fluid reservoir or the line to the fluid reservoir? The instructions seemed to call for it but I’m wondering if that can be avoided.

[@lemonheadgarage]

Hi, I did not touch the brake lines at all. Just make sure to keep the reservoir upright so it doesn't induce bubbles.

[@paulbiggs9279]

Great video

[@alexdb77]

Great Video! I have a Thruxton an dreaming about this mod! Can you tell me what stand are you using? Cheers

Hi! Thank you! I forgot what it’s called. I just got it from Amazon, nothing crazy.

I'd want to get this entire lovely fairing, but the order link is now sold out. Do you have any links that you recommend I order from? Thanks

Hi, there might be a few other websites that sell then out there. You could also call your local Triumph to see if they have any in stock!

NICELY DONE VIDEO! Quick question... the new clip-ons appear to drop... How much drop? looks like 2"? just trying to gauge the new ergos from this mod...

[@supercrazysane]

I have a T RS with the fairing and asked about the standard clip ons and if they would also be compatible with the fairing. Answer was no because there is a lack of full motion and would fail (UK) the MOT, I was told as the same time they are 2”

Why is there so many wires to the front light??? and can you keep the stock height of the bars with the fairing?

[@lemonheadgarage]

haha its cause its a modern bike! Yeah you definitely can. I tried it for a little bit.

[@josepgarciahidalgo9477]

I got a question...Are all the parts incluided in the kit? Or you have to buy one by one? Thanks!

[@lemonheadgarage]

Yes! If you buy the fairing set it should come with everything you need, minus tools.

[@josepgarciahidalgo9477]

@@lemonheadgarage yes! I already bought it and all parts were included. Without the fairing the motorcycle looks great but with it already installed looks amazing! Love it!

How hard is it to get to the bolts that hold the headlight in when you need to change the bulb?

[@lemonheadgarage]

its not too difficult, just a few screws/bolts!
