It had been stood in a front garden for 2 years, uncovered and rotting away.
Every fastner, wherever possible, has been changed for stainless.
The powdercoating is a stuff called Aerocoat which looks like polished alloy (But is easier to clean!)
The writing on the tyres was NOT done by me. When funds allow they will be replaced.
It passed the MOT first time.
It was hard work, especially tracking down certain parts like the GRP undertray and modifying the loom to allow LED indicators to be used but I think it was worth it in the end, I'm pleased with the end result.

Although..... And this is just a personal opinion... I would have kept the white on the front. Sort of breaks it up a bit.... But thats just me.  :weed

Have I seen this lurking over on TriumphTorque? Looks stunning once again. Good job finding one in such a state and returning it to better than new condition. Enjoy the triple motor  :drool :drool
