Default **Bike of the Month** *September 2011*

Congratulations to our September winner! Thank you for your submission! Let's give Thruxton1 all of our support!

Name: Fred
User Name: Thruxton1
Location: Detroit/USA
Bike: 2010 Motorsports Edition
Class: Street

Submission:
I know there are a lot of good looking Motorsport bikes out there. However I believe mine is unique because of the way the Motorsports theme is held from the front custom graphics to the rear by using a mix of aftermarket parts.

I have not seen any other bike that highlighting the aluminun tank by revealing some paint and polishing it to match the swing arm. We all know that "Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder" but I believe it is the integration of the various elements that makes my bike stand out.





Upgrades:
*Sargent Seat
*Slingshot Carbon Fiber Pieces
*ACE Carbon Tail Cover
*HP Rearsets
*Self Made Nose Graphics
*Hotbodies Windscreen
*Wheel Graphics
*Watsen Signals
*Smoked Tail Light w/integral Signals
*Custom Rear Tie Downs
*CRG Levers
*Aluminum Front & Rear Master Cylinders
*Yoshimura Case Savers
*Yoshimura Spools
*6680 GP 211 Tires

Nice bike, what bar risers are on there? Thinking about getting some next purchase, wrists taking beating on daily commute.

The bar risers are Apex. They are very adjustable and a quality product.
