Hi from the UK

I would of thought triumph would of lacquered any bare Ali parts, I've got my bike under cover at the moment but I also have it stripped down for repair so once I've repaired and painted all the damaged plastics I'll start polishing the Ali parts.
Strange ain’t it, you’ve got those Kettles and it was Suzuki back in the day who had the bad reputation for bad finishes and parts corroding!
 
The underside of the bevel box rots as well. I'm taking mine off and am going for the polished finish. I've seen one done on FB, it looks smart
