Re: Triumph 650 Tiger Restoration
Finally got the sludge trap plug out. This was an SOB to get out. It took 10 minutes with the BFH and the impact to turn it 360°. Another 5 or so to get the next 360° and then I put the 1/2" air...

Re: Triumph 650 Tiger Restoration
I do powder coating for a living, so yes I remember what color it is. It is called Original Sun Gold with a clear coat on top. I use it a lot by itself or as a metallic base for Candy Red.

Re: Triumph 650 Tiger Restoration
Thanks Goldy, the stock wheels and brakes I'm taking off will be restored and set aside so any possible owner after I die can put it back stock if they so choose.
