    Hi Pottsy lovely bike, beautiful colour.

    If you're planning to sell have you put an add in the "For Sale"section?

    Ah thanks Crispey I was beginning to think it was just me that liked it, its 8 ball Plum and old English white I believe there were 44 sprayed in this colour but only put on the basic model. I said I wanted this colour but I wanted it on the SE so the dealership swapped all the bits over to give me what I wanted.

    Just spent the last hour browsing this thread. Some great inspirational pictures of all the bikes and shows you can really make these your own. Great colour choice Pottsy. That paint looks metallic to me in the sunshine

    Hi Monkeyjoe
    Yes those wheels are a labour of love. Get them up to scratch with autoglem metal polish then use auto glem resin polish ( other polish manufacturers polish is available ) the real secret is don't let them get too bad. The front wheel is easier its what you use on your chain can affect how the wheel corrodes. I try to stick to the wax lubricants. But truimph don't give any kind of warranty on the corrosion of those wheels. I was advised by 8 ball not to use auto solve as it is too harsh, but if you do follow it up with autoglem which is finer in grade.

    Nice, looks good. Now so long as you don't take her out in the rain, it will be fine. Oh one other tip, the wife's cotton buds work a treat in between the fins. Well that is until I forgot to put them back and she found them in my man cave.
