I'm considering throwing a little chrome or polished metal on my Bonneville Black's engine and was wondering what I might expect it to look like. I think I actually like the polished metal look better than chrome, but I don't know what is available after market.

Go to triumphtwinpower.com. I tried attaching a link but didn't work. My whole reason for buying the goodwood green 07 was for the polished engine casings. Don't get me wrong, I love the black but it doesn't give you many options when it comes to changing tank color or anything like that.

I actually would prefer to have black engine cases on my '04 thruxton. The black cases rock in terms of fitting contrasting, polished engine covers. If rattle can black was more robust, the cases would be blacked out already.

I think the black cases also provide a complementary palette for pretty much any color that matters!! (read as red, silver, or black)
But, then again, there's no accounting for taste in these matters...

Cheers,

Red and black would look really cool actually. Totally A-Team!

I was thinking of doing just the engine covers and sprocket guard in the brushed metal. Thanks for the post!
