I hope I'm not starting a religious war by asking for opinions on what is the best way to protect the finish on these bikes! I'm a long-time Zaino user but have been intrigued by the idea of ceramic coating. I know PPF is also an option but that seems overkill on a largely naked bike.
If you...
I would kick my a$$ uf I thought it would help, but it won't.
My gps bracket, not positioned high enough, pushed on the brushed metal of the dash and took some paint off at the top, leaving 2 black spots.
Any suggestions to make it not so noticable? Not expecting perfection. Dealer may have...
I have the black with gray pin stripes oh my so pretty, i saw an article that said the pinstripes were put on at factory this would imply atleast the 08 models must have been made at henckley plant. It also said the man that does it does nothing else and been doing this along time, regardless of...
Can anybody recommend a good touch up paint for a black R3 engine. I only seem to find paint that is high temperature and not petrol proof or petrol proof paint that isn't heat proof.
I just want to repaint a patch on the timing chain cover where the paint has bubbled up due to corrosion...
Paint and finish concerns. Just completed 600 miles and love the bike. A few concerns that will raise when the dealer re opens but wondered if anyone else is experiencing this.
I have the GT and the metal looks asif it is “pitting” in different places. It’s hard to see on the photos but there...

Hoping to draw on community knowledge here. I'm going to paint the tank, radiator shrouds, and a few other bits on my bike. I am over the Satin/Matte finish. What I'm after is a nice, deep metallic black, something like the metallic black dodge uses, but the dodge color isn't dark enough...
Well, I have acquired a GORGEOUS '05 that someone put a lot of money and time into.
Now I need away to preserve her from Utah's debris filled roads......
Anyone use clear bra or similar on their bikes bags and front fenders? Or what have you been using to protect from rock chips, ect ????

Hi.
Ours is a 2004 and us experiencing some weirdness with the coating on the engine on the exhaust side.
I'm a bit concerned it could be a problem, coolant fluid levels and type of fluid is correct.
Is it just an age thing????
So riding yesterday, a couple of times, when decelerating or in cruise, I hear a noise, it's loud I can hear it over the engine. Sounds like a tin can being kicked down the road. Or a paint can being very vigorously shaken but it really was quite loud. Thought I was dragging a tin can and it was...
So what actually is this "paint can rattle" that I often hear from the L/H side when accelerating a little ?
It sounds like pre-ignition, but know it's not that.

Evening all, I'm thinking of getting the wheels stove enamelled the same colour as the bike.
Two questions
- Is there a paint code or number somewhere to identify the colour, which I only know as Triumph red at present, to give to the enamellers?
- Anyone else have any experience of stove...
