I'm looking to get some items including the frame (which I'm sure some guys here will disapprove of) powder coated. I've never used a company before so was wondering if any members could recommend a place, in the UK and preferably in the Midlands area as I'm in Leicester. Thanks

Personally I really don't like powder coating, particularly on motorcycle frames, but having said that, I have recently seen the work of one company and I was amazed at the quality. Triple S Powder Coating www.triple-s.co.uk/ They only do bike work and it shows, all masking and prep included, it had the appearance of top quality stove enamel and totally avoided the 'dipped in molten plastic' look that seems to be the norm. Even the chassis number was perfectly legible on the frame I saw, and they will do top yokes etc in satin, the rest in gloss as requested. If it has to be powder coat, I've never seen better.

Hi Ray,
When are you looking to get your bike finished or on the road? I live in Shepshed. Working on my bike at the moment, maybe we could meet up when both bikes are on the road.
Regards Guy

Just bought it. Its running & road worthy. I will be riding it for a few weeks before I strip it for a spot of light restoration. Give me a shout when your on the road and we'll have to meet up.
