Hello all, Can someone please tell me the correct colour for a 1980 1300 rocker box. At the moment it is painted in silver.
Many thanks

Probably silver; it was fairly standard for Triumph pressed steel rocker covers at the time.

Up to circa 1970, Triumph rocker boxes were a copper-ish colour, after that they were Silver.
