Now that's a tasty looking Speedy! I love the black forks with the leather upper shroud covers. It looks like a special edition. Great work!

Congratulations, that is one sweet looking bike. I really like the leather work on the forks, grips, tank and seats as well as the tool bag.
Well done, that is a bike to be proud of.

Thanks for the compliments.
The forks, sprocket & rotors are just painted for now(caliper paint) just to see if i liked it, I have a powdercoat place not to far he says when im ready they can just blast the paint off then powder them.
Ive got a few more things i will do, peg hangers (Tribal) possibly front fender bib kinda like tank bib, paint carbs,180 on the back and i think w'ell be good to go.
I found this site before i eveen bought the bike, actually helped make my decision. Seeing all the pics and info was great. This Site and everybody on it has been awsom got alot of inspiration and learned alot. This is my 1st Triumph and im lovin it.
Hope everyone had a nice Christmas

I wouldn't normally care for the brown, but In this case you did such a great job, I think it looks great. Very distinctive. Pat on the back to you!

I'm a brown leather fan and your scoot looks great. Nice contrast with the black risers, too...shows a great appreciation for detail.

Dave,
Have you any higher resolution shots of all the above? I'd love to have them for my "reference library." You can email them to me if that's an option for you.
Thanks brother,
Jim
Again, simply brilliant!

That is one sweet bike. I like the leather look. Get a hold of Cindy(Talishar). She makes some really nice leather knee pads. She did a set for me with the Union Jack flag on it.....Angelis

Angelis, how do i get in touch with Cindy?
I almost had some knee pads for it..Someone here put a post up that there were some on ebay (same color and cool design) I put a few bids on them but made it home late and was out bid! price was only like $40.00 bucks or something. Anyway might look good on her...
The pipes are off my Superglide Sport (debaffeled screamin eagles) got new shotguns pipes for the Harley so i had those lying around screaming for me to try them out on the Speedmaster.... the look and sound i wanted (slipped right on) and cant beat the price!

Just PM member "Talishar" and she'll reply. I have a set of her well crafted leather kneepads in hand awaiting application, one of many winter to-do jobs on my list.

Seedblue, he wants a set of leather kneepads. Plus Cindy can work wonders with leather and it's good to support a fellow member......ANGELIS
