hey sin, did you have your rims done in clear, or another color?

[NeilD]

hey sin, did you have your rims done in clear, or another color?

and what condition were they in beforehand??

[Sin_Tiger]

Not too bad, a few light scrapes, dull, stained etc. They were sent for buffing to repair as many faults as possible before going to the anodiser, these are the origianl DID rims.

I asked them to do it as close to original as they could, they came out a neutral silver looking good  :D  Another set of wheels that went to the same place came back in a deep bronze that looked very nice, hmmmm

Well things are starting to move again, my poor overworked mechanic is managing to find some time between fixing sick GS's  :roll:

The front end is back together with longer HEL brake lines to suit the Hot Bars, original lines were fine but more like guitar strings.

The head has gone to get the seats cut for the new valves.

The refurbished shock link is on.

The swing arm has had to go back to the anodisers as he fluffed the finish, it turned out completely mat  :icon_scratch

I have some dyna beads at the ready, the batch I fitted to the Varadero are working a treat Mustang, 200 kph of absolute smoothness.

The plastics have been returned from the paiters after clear coat, I'm told they look great, still wrapped up and I have not dared to open them in case I get too excited.

I spotted something I had missed on previous inspection, the one coil I looked at was definately a PVL but on closer inspection the other two are different and even different from each other  :x looks like I am going to have to fork out for a set of Nologies after all.

[BruKen]

Looking good Sin. I have yet to do the wheels on mine. BTW where do you get your Nologies from?

[Mustang]

the boys on the triumph Trophy yahoo group get there coils from Motbins is a UK BMW dealer
they are PVL's which are the same as Nologys but a lot less money ..........I'll see if I can find a link

these are the dual outlet ones for 1200 trophys and obviously BMW's
I bet if you contact them they could hook you up with the single outlet ones the tiger needs

[BruKen]

Thank you once again Mustang :)

[NeilD]

or Sprint do them... they've actually got cheaper since I bought a set for the other bike..  :roll:

[Sin_Tiger]

Thanks guys, I'll check that out.

[rf9rider]

Or you could try a set of the "stick" coils off the TT600, a lot cheaper secondhand.

Have a set on mine.  :)
