Some of the seat units they sell in Italy are a nice alternative

Now there is the work of a craftsman....Very nice.

I like the proper plugs in the swing arm pivot holes and exhaust, but not the filter on the breather...........Read Flip's link about breathers in a recent thread.

Wow that's gorgeous. I love the gold cambelt covers and matching oil filler cap.

Top work
Crankcases, cylinders and heads--------VHT paint onto bare metal
Alternater and clutch cases--------Etch primer, white primer, then three coats of wheel silver
cam shaft cases and valve covers, and cam belt covers-----Etch primer, white primer, then three coats of Rover champagne gold.
a lot of really boring work to get it all ready for the paint, but essential if you want the paint to stay on.

did you take the side cases and other covers off to paint them, or just mask up and paint in situ?

Ditto on the crankcase filter - I've never had a problem with mine and it cuts down the condensation build up in oil

I haven't got a problem with you having a filter on your breather either...

I'll be sticking with the standard arrangement though.

I've had 11 Triumphs so far and I have to make the next one the last as I would never have a thirteenth..!

I paint the VHT silver on to the engine castings without masking anything, except for the Rubber bits and anything shiny. Then I remove everything that is removable and strip the parts down to bare metal, or plastic in the case of the belt covers. I strip the starter and clean the commutator and fit new brushes, then strip and repaint the three starter parts separately before putting it back together and refitting. Oh yes, and I do mask the sight glasses before starting all this. Every nut , bolt, and screw is either polished or replaced with stainless items, and the new stainless fasteners are also polished. Where lock tight is not required, all threaded parts are coated in anti gall compound. ( well, it is a ducati isn,t it )

I did, however come unstuck with a crankcase filter that I fitted to a Triumph T100 that I restored last year, that proved to be a big NO NO, so I had to revert to the standard system.
Re. The THIRTEENTH syndrome, it did cross my mind for a fleeting moment, then I thought that if I don't do the thirteenth, then how am I going to get on to the fourteenth.
