T100r front wheel question

[The Seeker]

The colors are from 2 different bikes; I am color blind but the guy who painted it said the silver was stock triumph but the green(what i think is green) is OE BMW paint, not sure which year/model.

In the pictures at least, it looks like it's silver and gray....not green. But computer monitors can play games with subtle things like that. It could be a very pale champagne-green.

I also don't see any trace of green in it

If I enlarge the photo I can see what might be a green tint but may not have notice without being pointed to it. The chrome wheel looks 300% better than the gray wheel.

Here is a picture that was not taken with my cell phone so maybe it looks "green" now, it is one of the pictures the guy took who sold it to me. It may not be green but I think it has to have some kind of weird color in it other than grey.

yup,definately a shade of green in that
looking at that front guard I would call that an olive.In fact its a very military colour and goes nice with that silver.

 

[hemibee]

Oh yeah, that looks even better than when it was gray and silver.

I think it looks fine.

Now that the wheel is complete, I have to change out the front engine mount, someone drilled a hole in the center for some reason. If you look close you can see it in the picture with the grey rim. It sticks out like a sore thumb to me.

I found the left and right plate on ebay but I will have to refinish them when it gets warmer if I win the auction.

You could simply have the holes filled with weld, grind them smooth and you will never know there was a weld. Very cheap fix. Well done, nice looking bike.

As the post is nearly eight years old, maybe he fixed it already ...

I'm inclined to agree, but I wish everyone that asks questions would reply when they've finally fixed it...

 

[Twin Pots]

Oops yes I missed that but I do sometimes find helpful advice from old posts so my excuse has to be that someone else may have a similar problem. I'm sure lots of people have holes where they shouldn't be.

Oh, like the one in my head?
