i choose aircraft blue in a gloss finish.

hahaha mate it was a fiddly pain in the butt job to be fair, the cleaning and rubbing down are easy enough, a little time consuming but no probs, the masking and spraying were an butt of a job, then it took 3 days for the paint to dry properly, then i had to touch them up here and there, but i'm well pleased with the finish

a few more titanium bolts and bleed nipples + the radial triumph master cylinder thats winging its way to me via a kind forum member and the jobs a good'en.
oh and i think i will laquer them aswell.

Not today but yesterday fitted the front end-

Got the wheels back and fitted bearings, seals & discs. All held together with copious amounts of Titanium, yum.
The bike is getting so light I will have to tie it down in case it floats away!!!

Very nice
Eat some more pies that will hold it down lol

Lloydie mate I really don't have to worry when i'm sitting on it, I have sufficient ballast not to allow unwanted floaty away moments, I promise.
It's when it's parked up I am concerned it may start to drift away. Yeah right.
