Kane Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 What is this finish issue on my V11’s triple clamp? Is the finish a silver paint that is peeling or flaking? Any ideas on how to restore or rectify this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBBenson Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I had to strip a black painted triple clamp when I converted to handlebars. Pull the triple and strip the paint, starting with a chemical stripper, then using a gentle blast media. I had a friend do it who has a blast cabinet. Polish it, then clear coat.

GuzziMoto Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Yes, that is an aluminum triple clamp that was painted silver. You can chemically strip it, or you can use media blasting. Then either paint it silver, or black, or clear coat it. If you left it raw aluminum it would tend to corrode. Aluminum is funny when it corrodes, it doesn't rust but it does get a hazy grey corrosion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
