Taking a bit of a poll here... Just bought a pretty 06 R3 se with the blue tribal graphics.
Was in a low speed collision that toasted the front fender and dented the tank (less than 1/2 inch in, 3 inches around - handlebar hit).
Never had a bike that wasn't black before, only bought this one...

Guys,
I'm thinking that the radiator sides and top pieces are plastic chrome... Anyone see any problems with scratching them with fine paper and spraying them flat black?
I see no reason to spend good money to buy new black ones when a few coats will do the job. They don't seem to get hot=I...
Hi All,
A quick question for you all. I have noticed the silver paint on my rear diff and front engine casing are getting a bit bubbly. Can anyone advise on where to get the paint from, or what type of paint it is. Is it even powder coat?
All comments appreciated
Thanks

Stopped by Baxter's yesterday and stumbled across a new offering, flame and tribal paint decals. These are $1100 and $1200, a screamin deal if I recall correctly installed OE they would be over $2000. Might be worth a look...:cool:
How much should a paint job cost ? Would like to see different paint jobs and see how much price goes up for more detail.
How many coats of paint? how many coats of clear? I know the more detail of paint job the more money but it would be nice to see pictures and how much it cost. Just to give...
I have seen a few photos of this done and it is the look i want until I can justify fitting a slimmer radiator.
The question is how do you paint chrome? The radiator shrouds are plastic and the bearclaw metal. I imagine the grill would be best powder coated.
Thanks
I knew I shouldn't have answered the poll about the upgrade kit. Everything was fine then. Guess I should have knocked on some wood on something. :(
Just got all the damage from my little mishap at RAA4 now she's got the paint can rattle. It's not all the time and only when cold. But it's...
Been hearing alot about the rattle. On some bikes at start up the rattle is the oil pump and pump drive chain. They are both loose and some bikes do it and some don't. It does't hurt a thing cept your ears.
My 08 Rocket III Touring with 4300 miles has developed the paint can rattle. It just started last thursday morning. Went to the dealer sat. morning and was told "they're big motors and they just make a lot of noise". Of course the motor was warm and wouldn't make the noise when they listened to...
For those of you who have not heard the "Paint can Rattle", here it is. Going in for the upgrade kit soon. Covered by Triumph. '07 standard with about 11K miles on it. Noise started on way back from Sturgis in Yellowstone.
Can someone explain what this is? My R3T makes a noise that I would say sounds like someone shaking a spray paint can. It's most noticeable at low speeds and is undetectable once the clutch lever is pulled in. I asked the dealer about this when I took the bike in for the 500 mile service and...
