Aint she Puuuurty
Can you spot Waldo?....Where's Waldo?

very spiffy !

Almost as nice as a Speedmaster!

I FOUND EM I FOUND HIM. in the headlight duhhhh.


It's lookin perty ryan.

That is sweet. I was wondering though and I haven't seen it yet. That cover between the engine case and the sprocket cover, is that piece possible to chrome or does it have to be left alone. Not sure what it covers and seems to be bolted on.

Very nice indeed. I like the clean look of your fenderless front (as long as it's dry)

reidoo be honest...how long did it take u to paste the waldo in my headlight...and if i go outside in my garage to look at my bike...will he still be in there?

Nice.

Yep, nice.

I want one of them Waldo's for my headlight too....

Sharp bike! Good job on it. Nice-looking Mustang too!

Will

great looking bike, now sand those lower fork tubes and buff them!

Robert in Utah

I know right! I gotta do the lower fork arms...it seems like a hell of a chore though , is it? Is it hard to realign the forks?

hmm should I polish the lower forks or should I paint them black and as well as the fork shroud covers and blacken the whole thing out?

Now you're thinkin like a Speedmaster owner!!! Do that and it will go FASTER...

yeah anything but grey...why would triumph do that...i mean they should have made everything black on all their bikes and then whatever u wanted chrome u could add....because all black looks great and black and chrome looks great...no one likes grey...

nice pic..you need to polish the forks out now.

Yeah the grey is kinda cheezy. The ojnly grey part I have now is the lower tripple tree. If anyone has a newer (smooth) one they want to part with....

The front wheel is kinda boring too, what to do with that?

Looks nice. i see you took off the retro chrome stripes from the Tank.

Yeah I switch back and forth...I dont know which i like better...I just wish that the eyebrow badge fit better...triumph should have made the screw hold at the bottom of the badge so it would raise the badge up more....it doesnt seem to hold our tank when its that low.

whats better, to use a chemical or to sand the forks? Anyway one use a chemical and find it was as easy as cake?

cant notice the badge deal from the picture.
Are those the triumph chrome fork shrouds on the upper and lower portions

Id try chemical first to remove the paint

nah they're not chrome fork shrouds, actually i got this chrome tape at advanced auto parts, pep boys sells it too, it's only $10. Anyway I used it to wrap the fork shrouds and it turned out great! Cant see it too much in the pics because it was a cloudy rainy day but they shine up bright. And Im wondering what kind of chemical I would use?

Im gonna have to look for that chrome tape.
As for chemicals, I would recommend Zip Strip. You can buy it localy at any hardware/homedepot type store. I use this stuff to remove epoxy paint from aircraft structures to inspect for cracks. Works great. Just brush it on the area to be stripped and leave it. It will start to bubble the paint and then remove it with a plastic scraper or a stiff bristle brush. Wont harm the aluminum.

I bought the tape! Works great, but you a lot of patience.thanks for the info Ryan. Here some pic. I did my intake clams, spark pug boot,frame under seat.sorry about pic.

BTW, I meant the Speedmaster's front wheel, not the wires.

hmm How did you do the frame under the seat, I like it, trial and error?

where did you get your tape
