Wasn't the rocker cover redone in liquid silver? or is it just the lighting?

mart

It was ... I didn't like the mismatched silvers ( cover and engine ) .... my OCD kicking in

 

[thebuyer]

More bits back

Forks rebuilt and mudguard lugs removed ...

Now what grease do I use !!

 

[thebuyer]

Just in case anyone is interested

Due to crap bank holiday weather ... got some time in the workshop

All fitted but not tightened up ...

Can feel more expense... nice single clock needed

 

[thebuyer]

Adding a bit of colour

Headlamp bowl back from painter ... really pleased with colour ... spot the indicators!!! They are the mounting bolts for the headlamp ... all dry fitted now need to sort wiring

 

[thebuyer]

I know we have our own resident painter

But this ain't bad for a first attempt and it's still got to be polished !!

Friend I've known for years, he does lots of general bike stuff but this stretched his skills

 

[Nice 'n' Fat]

I love that decal

 

[thebuyer]

I love that decal

Decal !!!! .... it's a stencil .... gold with bronze shadow line .... took hours to mask up

 

[Nice 'n' Fat]

What's the difference ?

 

[thebuyer]

What's the difference ?

Sorry thought you meant a sticker just stuck on .. this is real paint

 

[Nice 'n' Fat]

Ah well in that case then

That is one of the nicer older Triumph badges they did

Yes, I know, it's not a fucking badge

Loving this build thread, it looks like its going to be fantastic, OCD or not. When you park up at Chester Mottorrad you will know your not going to bump into another identical machine.

Wash your mouth out ... I'm a Williams boy !! Have to be desperate to visit HOG central

It lives ..

So after much cleaning, polishing, painting and spending ££ ... it's nearly finished

Motogadget clock and fresh chain and sprocket this week ... bit more detailing and I think it's done ... well at least phase 1 .... phase 2 ... find some more power in that old engine

Ride it to HOG central, no issue with total power then........unless someone turns up on a 1000rr

Nice bike looks well overall, compare that sharp tail tidy with the very first as deliverd photos! ��

Yes I'm pleased with it for first attempt ... few changes to be done but you can go on changing things forever ... and I want to move on to another project... but something completely different ... I have a scratch to itch and it's time to build something to scratch it

This is so much fun ..

At last it's on the road ... and it might not be quick but it puts a smile on my face ... shame I'm not cool enough to do it justice, but I don't care ... and I'm certainly no hipster
