I have a pic somewhere if I can find it I'll post it. My friend Tom Cook has an 03 America with the whole top and sides of his tank done in union jack that looks like its blowing back over the tank and torn at the end almost where the tank meets the seat.

Thanks! I know there's a couple other BF paint jobs out there, somewhat similar to mine but they didn't monkey with the colors or lines like I did. They still look great, though.

Here's a picture from my collection, a torn flag style paint job, although it's kinda hard to see in this pic:



(It's also bobbed and chopped 5 degrees)

I seem to remember Triumph actually had a Union Jack tank you could buy.

Heres what I had done last year, the plan was originally to do the tank as well but I couldnt afford it at the time. Kinda glad it worked out this way, less is more...
