    Hi Guys,

    New to the forum, but figured it would be the ideal place for this kind of advice! Apologies in advance if any of this has been covered before, I have tried using the search feature to no avail (maybe me and forum searches will never get on).

    I’ve got a Thruxton 1200R that I’ve already done a fair bit of work too. However there are a few bits left on my list that I don’t feel comfortable tackling myself.

    Long story short, I want to remove the swing-arm, and the lower fork triple tree (I’ve already addressed the upper one) so that I can have them powder coated satin black.

    I don’t really have the tools or the know how to strip these down properly on my own, nor do I trust myself with bearings and the like.

    Ideally I’m looking for somewhere that would be happy to:

    • disassemble the relevant parts
    • keep the bike on the bench/stand whilst I had the parts powder coated (turnaround of a few days)
    • re-assemble the bike properly once I’ve brought the powder coated parts back

    I just don’t trust myself to re-assemble everything properly and in keeping with manufacturers spec etc.

    I’ve already reached out to Thornton Hundred, but understandably there weren’t able to help. And I foresee that my local Triumph dealership might not be able to help either.

    So I guess my question is, does anyone know a custom garage that might be able to help with the above? Or failing that, is there someone with a lot of experience in this and a well stocked garage on here that wouldn’t mind helping out for a crate of beer and a lot of IOU’s haha!

    Thanks all! Any help is greatly appreciated!
