A huge pat on the back for you sir!!! The bikes looks awesome and this is how they should have looked coming off the line! I know some people love their chrome but I’ve got better things to be doing than polishing the stuff every Sunday - like actually riding my bike!!! It’s looks fantastic and should be great fun for a long time and you know you won’t have any trouble moving it on when you’ve had your fun. Great job. Onto the next one…. 😂

I had three Rockets, my last one was a Rocket X, unfortunately the finish quality on all of them was shocking, had pretty much everything powder coated in satin black, the end with Triumph came when I complained about the 18 month old factory custom paint job which was rusting, which in fairness it was being replaced under warranty, when I asked what would happen if the paintwork failed or rusted again they replied “if you look after it, it will be fine” got rid of other Triumphs apart from Rocket, that finally went lat year, for not a lot of money you could add LED headlights which are much better than the stock candles😉
@Moonfleet4118 күн бұрын
I don't think Triumph are alone in that failing, in fact Harley Davidson have spectacularly poor paint, even to this day, with zero undercoat, just flaky finishes that rust up in a season around screw holes and mudguards!.... part of it's due to the environmental changes in paints and the chemicals factories can use, but that's a deeper debate, it's probably more about economics, good call on the powder coat and this route I've done here is a great secondary option to do the same!

Bike looks great, Del. Just enough bling on it. I gotta say this: That brushed metal look on those fidderent parts (except for the radiator shroud and seat pan) would have been my go to choice.... but it's not my bike! 🤣 Great job as always. 👍
@Moonfleet4118 күн бұрын
Thanks mate, interesting stand point, and I have to agree with you, a brushed silver finish does look great, but unfortunately it doesn't work on steel or chrome, as once you breach the surface, it'll start to corrode immediately, so you have to spray clearcoat over it to seal it, which then goes shiny and loses the effect... so the only way it truly works well is on stainless steel... shame, as it would have been a great effect to experiment with!

Greetings from California, and good job :) I'm glad to see that you removed the warning decal from the fuel tank. The first thing that I do when I buy a new bike is to remove all those ugly warning stickers. As the paint ages, the paint under the sticker will remain newer and the sticker will become brittle. It's just best to remove them right away. Anyway, keep up the good work :)
@Moonfleet4118 күн бұрын
Good point well made, but there's a secondary opinion to that and that's factory stickers prove the un-molested integrity of a bike, proving it's never been restored or any patina covered up, you are right, that specially on satin finish paints, where they can't be polished, they will always leave a witness mark when you take them off... personally I agree with you, that they are normally nothing more than information messages, and once you know that information, you can take them off... but there is always the provenance consideration...

Thanks Andy, am glad you like it, it's difficult I guess to have the same vision as the painter, but I've done this a few times and I'm pretty confident it always looks right... Merry Christmas too mate and stay safe.

@Moonfleet41 I'm kinda hoping you keep this one, that type of power is fun, I have an old Harley with almost exactly the same HP and Torque, it's very satisfying.

@@johnjubie7144 You're absolutely right, it's pretty addictive... I would certainly love to keep it, but that's the dilemma, I can't keep the StreetBob if I hang on to this... one of them will have to go to fund the next project, just got to choose!
