Muffled

Added a pair of silencers. All is peace and quiet.

Woo hoo!

Done. And it even starts & runs now that I've got the timing set correctly. But...it is ear-bleedingly loud!

Bike!

Almost there....the Triumph looks totally badass!

Stickers

Finally plucked up the courage to sticker & lacquer the fuel tank and sidepanel. Part of the delay was waiting for the weather to become warmer and drier because I wanted to avoid getting any paint effects from moisture in the air. And it's been a long, cold winter and a late spring in the North West of the UK.

Pinstripes

Masked and painted in the gold pin stripes between blue upper and silver sheen lower parts of the fuel tank. Doesn't look quite as good as a hand-painted stripe by some old geezer in a brown overall, but it'll do just fine.

Rubber

The trials tyres arrived, so I've wrapped them round the rebuilt rims. The 4x18 rear is pretty easy to find in a variety of vintage-looking brands (this is a Bridgestone) but 19-inch trials tyres are now a rarity. This is an Ensign, and it matches the look of the old Dunlop Trials Universals pretty well.

Tank

Been busy with the paint & masking tape this weekend. Just need to add the gold pinstriping, several coats of lacquer and the tank badges.
