Pat ........ I go back to your original pix quite often ! I am a little undecided [ no, surely not ] as to the final colourways. I know WHAT a sixties bike [ Cafe Racer ] should look like - or at least the options, but I'm having difficulty imagining the contrast / compliment of colours finishes.
Plan is also for polished alloy instrument mounts [ as Gold Star etc ] - current thoughts are to paint the OEM TR1 instrument pods Black - OR polish them [ alloy housings ].
Duchat - yes I have one of those [ new ] in my stash, but the idea behind the Lucas rep is that I have an ideal place to run the Lucas switchgear and connect the TR1 wiring. That allows me to lose some of the squitter off the bars - and somewhere for the idiot lights etc.
Semmins ..................with all due respect to my pals at Classic - the chrome on the Indian units I saw last year was ....... er, not very good.
In fact the Black one I have was bought from them. The unit itself is very good, and the switchgear is exceptionally good, but even then the paint is not brilliant. Still excellent value for money even if I repainted it.
The unit you show is the one with just the Ammeter hole - mine has the cutout for the switchgear AND Ammeter.
That said, I have bought quite a few of my parts from Classic, and when I bought my lamp last year - they did say they were loking to improve the quality of the chroming. I'm going to see them next week as they are interested in marketing the RAM Classic Twinshox, so I'll check ot the latest chrome offering then. And yes - you are quite right - the shell is likely to be more than £30 to have chromed ! However that will be PROPER triple chroming.
