You're welcome. I'm sure the guy will know what he's doing. I used to own a garage/alloy wheel shop and was quite big in the refurbishing game. The place I used to use put copper slip over the faces where the discs bolt to etc then it just peeled off easily with a Stanley blade. The guy I used for my wheels this time reckons copperslip might get hot in the oven and spit. He used some heat proof masking tape to cover the areas. Quick turnaround you're getting eh? Let's see some pics as soon as its back. All the best

Well I thought about the swinger needing constant polishing and I'm just too lazy So I had it powdercoated chrome Whilst I was having that done I got the rear sets toned down too Matt

Looking fantastic Matt I love the matching window on the alternator side, and the blue centre on the rotor. Quality attention to detail (as always !!) Looking forward to more. Dusty

Dusty Plus one, awesome build Matt that oozes quality. The window on the generator is the first one I've seen, you should go on Dragons Den
Oh and cheers for going through the Triumph side stand conversion (a while back) for me, I am going to fit one to the LC triple.
Keep those pics coming
Mark

Real nice Matt. The arm looks the nads. Looks more polished and has the added advantage of being low maintenance. Tidy!!!!

Swing arm looks mint
How come you've gone for a lock up clutch - bling?? Can't imagine that motor would need it

Cool looks good either way mate
I don't have a lock up on my 443 but do have a heavy duty clutch and TZ750 springs.. it's not that bad but I guess a lockup would allow the use of lighter springs

It's actually quite light now I put a decent cable on it and the way I see it is it won't do any harm having it When I do build the bigger motor it won't be so painful in the pocket if I've already got some bits Cheers Matt

Hi Matt, Those wheels look stunning - love the colour. Who did them ? Dusty Cheers Dusty they were painted by Boyztoyz I picked the paint and didn't realise it was metallic, I thought about changing it for a solid Colour but I'm glad I never cos they look even better in the sun Matt

Lol Obviously not the same but candy paint is gorgeous Hi mate I don't think it is candy, it is metallic though,sprayer said he had to do white first. I picked a colour that was close to my blue samco hoses I'm sure whatever colour you pick will look pukka on the lc ,especially a candy Matt
