Its taken a while but Lockdown allowed me the opportunity to get get the last few jobs done namely: get my tank dent fixed and repainted. One of my good mates took the tank and pushed out the dent as best he could, which showed up another problem: the badge screw inserts were rusted and one had popped a weld. So decided to weld up all the inserts to stop further corrosion and then fill and paint (the original colour-Cinder Red) and also move to a set of badges that stick on, (Triumph Four bar ones), once the locating pin is cut off. Yesterday I put the knee and top pads on, so the T120 is looking a lot better than when I bought it.
Still got a final polish and seal on paint but it is ready to ride!! And I have been rota'd for work on 19th May so I can officially go out and ride it to work, 50 odd mile round trip Yahooooooooo!
No my mate Steve did it. Got a repair pack from RS paints base coat, which was black, top coat and 2k lacquer I am a rattle can painter, I owe more than a few pints now But gonna help him do the tubeless mod aint that what its all about barter no dosh.
Great job, wishbone! Tanks are always a tough job. Hopefully, the weather gods will smile on us soon and allow us to get out and enjoy our rides.
