Long time no postie! Anyhow check out the ATRC tach and (right now termparily a copy of a) Smiths speedo. Finallyall sorted out! HOWEVER! Note that I originally had (sigh, yes a copy of) a tach on the right side. Sorted out now! The previous rubber isolated mount for the ATRC was a different style, requiring some interface plates and it hit the side of the fork mount seen below the tach. Now this one, although lower, and you'd think more causing interference, does not! It all works now.

Various view of the 2006 Thruxton with the new silencers fitted. Basically the finished product!

Object inside my tire:

Driving from PDX up to Puyallup to an annual meeting, with razor thin margins on Sat. Mar. 9th was pressed further by a flat tire just as I passed Moss Lake on the right of the freeway. There were a number of cars pulled over, so I think several struck the debris. Anyhow I drove to Puyallup and back home on the spare, and got up early and went to Costco to repair/replace it (replaced it!). There was a LARGE tear in the middle of a fairly new tire, and inside as we rolled the tire into the repair station, we could hear something rattling. When the new tire was put on and I picked it up, I picked up the debris they recovered from inside the tire.

What is puzzling is how such a large object overcame air pressure and centrifugal force to get INSIDE the tire.
