I finally got my spare side cover sprayed black and put my new chrome decal on it.... I think it turned out pretty dang nice!  Hard to get a picture of though.

I want to thank tmax again for doing the leg work on the decal, he found a shop to make it, all I did was call them and order a couple. Of course, that was a couple years ago now  The shop is hightech signs 481 East Interstate 30 Rockwall TX 75087 972-771-5599 talk to Chad

Not only a touch of chrome but a touch of CLASS!! Nice going on that one Dave. Also like the 'Made in England' on the swingarm. You got a lot going for that bike.

Very nice! The first month I owned my bike, I didn't have that side cover on all the way and it fell off going thru an intersection. It was a little scuffed up and I was able to buff out 98% of the marks. One day I'll get it repainted and that would be a great addition. Is there a way to get additional copies?

I was wondering that. Or one that says Bonneville America Sport (with the Sport like on the TBS) for my 03?

I can only say to call hightech and see if they still have the it on file. The product code from my invoice is RTA 01-S. I've had the decal in the envelope since May of '08. If I remember right, they had it to me in about a week after I ordered it.
My spare side cover had been sitting at my painters shop for over a year (no big rush anyway), I went in on Wednesday asking if it was done and he said it would be ready the next day. I gave him the decal and my original side cover so he could line it up to match perfectly and then clear coat over the whole deal.

Ok, John, if I get one, I promise to cut it in half and put the Bonneville on my Bonneville and the America on my (07) America.

Nope.
So my TBA isn't really a TBA, nor a BA, but just an "A". Hey, I can agree with that....

It's well known that some of the '03s got left over TBA covers...

Nice work Dave. Little things like that always make a big difference, expecially for the bloke who owns the bike and who sees the imperfections all the time. thanks for the pic
