lloydie's vtr (kermit)

Colour looks like Triumph roulette green, hope you don't get people always asking you if it's a new triumph speed twin

[lloydie]

It will be all on the bike next weekend I hope

It might be a good idea to give them all a quick coat of wax before they go on the bike as it will be easier and you can access all bit's that wouldn't normally be reached when on the bike.

Would like me send you a sample pot, enough to coat it all, of some Bilt Hamber Hydra wax http://www.bilthamber.com/hydra-wax It's very easy to apply and wipe off and also does not leave any rubber bits white like a lot of the cheaper wax's do. I will also send you an applicator pad to apply it with and a small microfibre towel to wipe off with.

started to paint the wheels today as I've changed my mind on powder coating them .
as it would be a waist on money as I want to fit a 08 blade front end and rear wheel next year .
so i couldn't justify the extra cost of the powder coating compared too paint (£80 saving )

3 coats of white and it looks good , im going to let it harden for a few days in the house and in the warm .
and hope it will be hardened enough for when the parts come back from powder so it can all be fitted in a day .
then off with the front again lol

i am big ones

[lloydie]

Got fed up waiting for bits to come back from the coaters !
Both wheels painted and ready for fitting :-)

I hope the bits will be back tomorrow so I can get cracking with the rebuild

[agentpineapple]

they look good mate, have fun keeping them clean.....
posted some pics of my engine on my thread

[lloydie]

got the call this morning from the powder coaters
went to collect the bits via mc'donalds for lots of coffee .

fitted new bearings in the swing arm then fitted it

on with the clock bracket

on with the rear wheel

next up was the rear subframe (that was a pain )




still feeling the buzz from the coffee i fitted the rear seat unitand tank

[lloydie]

then the fairing was next on the list .








that will do for today as the coffee aint working no more and i need a nap

[lloydie]

one thing i will say is that the camera doesn't do this paint job justice at all .
looks much better in person
