You have some good ideas there, Chris. I like the sounds of your plans here.

Yep, please post some pics of this project as it goes along.

And I'd say keep it black too, but that paint idea of yours also sounds pretty good to me.

(BTW, I'm thinking of going the all blacked-out forks route also, along with the gaiters too, and maybe covered black and chrome retro-looking rear shocks while I'm at it. I think it definately would give the bike a more traditional "Triumph look", alright)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
