  4. Por 15 is the product, but you have to go through the cleaning and etching process beforehand.
    Petrol and ethanol resistant, should give it a new lease of life.

  5. yes, done a few over the years but I didn't remember it being silver. Maybe the spec has changed but could be me - POR 15 has been the best choice out of what's available for over 10 years I do know, used to get mine from Frost:-

  7. Thanks Sprocker, I have to say they look really nice. Good call.

    Have you noticed any difference in the handling? Are they the original brake discs?
     
  8. Still not had a chance to get out on it yet due to workload. I got new front discs and pads which look really nice too, Brembo series Oro. Tbh I'm not sure if handling will change ? I weighed the front wheels (with discs and new tyres fitted and they were exactly same weight as the originals. Maybe a slight difference with the rear. I haven't got them for the handling improvement tho, purely for bling :heart_eyes: but if handling is better, then happy days :)
     
  9. Washed the Scottish crud off the Triumph .
     
  10. Had new Michelin GP’s fitted and a gold DID as sick of the rusty stock shite.

  11. I've been to Sheffield to get a new front tyre fitted to the Scrambler.

    Good news......new front tyre fitted :upyeah:

    Bad news front spindle nut cracked (before the tyre fitter took the wheel off) :bucktooth:

    New one ordered from Ducati Manchester and due to be fitted on Friday :upyeah:

    The ride home was a bit disconcerting I can tell you! :bucktooth:
     
  12. Will you be riding it to Sale, are you fitting it yourself, or are they coming to you?
     
  13. Fitted the DP frame covers today.

  14. that's crazy, I just had a quick look and could find nothing related to this re: problems/recall - overzealous fitter on previous tyre change? :thinkingface:
     
  15. It's possible I guess. Anyway it's getting replaced and will no doubt cost a bloody fortune :/

  16. if it's an aluminium nut, like some of it's predecessors, then I don't think it should be "zapped" up quickly with a windy/rattle gun anyway, but that's just me.. it's a pretty thin-walled thing.
