Thruxton Black Engine Cover

Get it powder coated Matt, I’d bought a second hand clutch cover from eBay and have just had it powder coated black. Crown Finishers in Surbiton did a great job and very quick turnaround too.

 

They charged £50 cash. Wheels are £75 each and I’ll get them done next.

 

It’s happening tomorrow

 

Mechanic friend of mine literally down the road from me in Wallington is doing it. He’s only there for a few days once a month but has done bits and pieces for me for a few years now. Really nice bloke so if Wallington works for you I can pass on his number if you like.

Let’s just hope mine is straightforward otherwise he might not want to see another I’ve got quite a bit going on tomorrow actually, alternator cover, clutch cover, new levers, new chrome bolts for the entire engine casing plus sorting out some of my muck-ups

 

Yeah grab as many bits as you can and get them all done at the same time. Wish I’d put my wheels in to be done too but that’ll be for another time.

 

Here you go Matthew.

Mechanic is happy for me to pass you his number should you wish to use him.

 

Cool no worries, I would try and make sure the guys at the powder coaters block off all the spots they’re supposed to (parts that don’t need spraying) when they do the job. I put masking tape over the holes but reckon they just went and coated the whole thing which meant holes had to be re-tapped.

 

Ride out when restrictions are lifted??

 

Well I think from March 8th. I'm sure riding a motorbike in a group of two is permitted if 'coffee on a bench' is allowed ...
