    Less chrome means less time polishing it! The headlights are a nice touch with the bezel. I hope you both have a safe and happy Christmas, and look forward to more in 2025. Cheers! 🎄🥂

    Giving me lots of ideas for restoring tired chrome on my old 98 Fatboy.
    Happy holidays

    Perfect balance. Now elegant with accents, rather than too fell-in-to-a-chrome-accessory-bin looking gaudy, or too ratbike all blacked out. (Not that there's anything wrong with those lol, but just not always, with all bikes. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! Best wishes for 2025 :)

    I had three Rockets, my last one was a Rocket X, unfortunately the finish quality on all of them was shocking, had pretty much everything powder coated in satin black, the end with Triumph came when I complained about the 18 month old factory custom paint job which was rusting, which in fairness it was being replaced under warranty, when I asked what would happen if the paintwork failed or rusted again they replied “if you look after it, it will be fine” got rid of other Triumphs apart from Rocket, that finally went lat year, for not a lot of money you could add LED headlights which are much better than the stock candles😉

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  6 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

      I don't think Triumph are alone in that failing, in fact Harley Davidson have spectacularly poor paint, even to this day, with zero undercoat, just flaky finishes that rust up in a season around screw holes and mudguards!.... part of it's due to the environmental changes in paints and the chemicals factories can use, but that's a deeper debate, it's probably more about economics, good call on the powder coat and this route I've done here is a great secondary option to do the same!

    Bike looks great, Del. Just enough bling on it.
    I gotta say this: That brushed metal look on those fidderent parts (except for the radiator shroud and seat pan) would have been my go to choice.... but it's not my bike! 🤣
    Great job as always. 👍

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  6 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

      Thanks mate, interesting stand point, and I have to agree with you, a brushed silver finish does look great, but unfortunately it doesn't work on steel or chrome, as once you breach the surface, it'll start to corrode immediately, so you have to spray clearcoat over it to seal it, which then goes shiny and loses the effect... so the only way it truly works well is on stainless steel... shame, as it would have been a great effect to experiment with!

Love the chrome/black combo on the headlights especially. Again Merry Christmas to you both. Enjoy the holiday. Let's hope for some 'Peace on Earth'. It seems to be in short supply of late. ❤👍👍

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  6 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks Gabe... yes, unfortunately the horn cover emblem was pretty badly pitted, and as it's plastic, I couldn't really do much other than paint it... plus it was rather large, and obvious, on the front and I think just the headlight bezels and fasteners are plenty! Have a great Christmas too... another hour or so here and it'll be time for a Guinness too!

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  4 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

    Greetings from California, and good job :) I'm glad to see that you removed the warning decal from the fuel tank. The first thing that I do when I buy a new bike is to remove all those ugly warning stickers. As the paint ages, the paint under the sticker will remain newer and the sticker will become brittle. It's just best to remove them right away. Anyway, keep up the good work :)

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  6 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Good point well made, but there's a secondary opinion to that and that's factory stickers prove the un-molested integrity of a bike, proving it's never been restored or any patina covered up, you are right, that specially on satin finish paints, where they can't be polished, they will always leave a witness mark when you take them off... personally I agree with you, that they are normally nothing more than information messages, and once you know that information, you can take them off... but there is always the provenance consideration...

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  21 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

      No it doesn't Patrick, as I explained in a previous video, the material is a soft, flexible stone chip paint, it acts like a plastic skin and whilst it will obviously create a 'witness mark' when you do up a bolt, it doesn't flake off.

    So much better! Toning down is an art not only the factories, but also some individuals on Christmas markets should practise ;-) The Rocket could start right now to an extraterrestrial cruise. Cheerio, Günter/Nürnberg
