    Sounds good to me. Surely the closest benches to me are at Ryka’s so we could meet there?

    Sprocket cover is on so just waiting to find some time to take the clutch and alternator covers to get powder coated!

    Just need to get black points covers on the clutch and alternator covers now to complete the black look.

    I was thinking about that but I don’t mind the contrast.
    Haven’t made my mind up yet!

    Next job is the indicators I think! Little black ones!

    Yeah good idea. I had the billet ones from Motone but decided they were still too big (although probably half the size of stock ones) so now have LED indicators and they are tiny but SO bright :joy:

    Hey everyone, my first post here. Great to find this topic as I’m about to powder coat my thruxton r engine covers. A question regarding clutch cover - there are sever rubber seals and needle bearings for clutch shaft. How do you remove those before the coating? I went through official service manuał couple of times with no luck… Also I assume rubber bushings from sprocket cover should be pressed out as well? (I’d like to PC it as well). Many thanks!!

    Sorry I had mine done at a garage. I bought replacement covers so I could keep the originals too.
