Nice work, I'll bet it really sparkles in the sunshine.

Cool look, Thats the color Wendy wants. She wanted a purple bike when we bought hers but Triumph didn't offer that.

Nice color. Where did you get the decal reproduced from?

Looks sweet. I am bumped a little bit by the spoked front and alloy rear wheel combo, but overall it looks very nice.

Very nice, what are those pipes?

Hey Dave and Ray, A guy named Jason at High Tech Signs in Rockwall, Texas did the reproduction. He had to locate the font and custom stretch the America part but it is a 100% match, took about three tries and three weeks but it turned out great. You can call him at....High Tech Signs - 481 E. I-30, Rockwall TX 75087, 972-771-5599.

Hey John, I was too at first. It is set up like the Night Train. It looks very nice in person. I am really disappointed in the quality of the photos. It just doesn't transmit the way the bike looks in person.

I like the solid back/spoke front look. Wish we had an available solid mag wheel, I would like to do something similar

Looks good, T!! I would have shared your friends' apprehension about the color. But like you said, it turned out VERY nice! Well done, Brother. Can't wait to see it in person.
Where's that 3rd picture from? Anywhere close?

Having seen the Purple Princess in person, all I can say is the pics don't do the paint justice! The paint just sparkles in the sunlight. It really makes the chrome (and there is a lot of chrome on that bike!) stand out!
Learning from my mistakes... again and again.

That's a brave choice of colour from description only but it looks amazing when you see it. Coincidentally I had a torrid affair with a girl who called herself the purple princess... I'm sure she'd approve.

Nice bike!! The next thing I'll set my scheming mentality towards is Spoked wheels. My 07, as everyone is well-aware, did not come stock with them. Anyhow..NICE BIKE!!!

Those are the stock Triumph slanted bags! And they are small for sure, when packing for 7 days on the road!

Yes it is! It is a custom color and has no name. Seven different colors including red and blue pearls in the clear coats. It looks like a candy purple to me in the sun or under florescent lights, but in low light (cloudy) or shade it looks like a dark grape (if you will?) I actually like it more every time I look at it!

Yes Sir you will need an adapter to mount these mirrors! Brent sells a real nice set with "O" rings that seal off the adapter area.

Sweet bike Tmax, Mine's being painted a similar colour at the moment & hopefully it will come ut just as good.
Can you tell me where you got your riser cover from - it really sets the bars off well.
Thanks

Hey Thanks Nick, I hope your paint job turns out good and to your satisfaction! Thanks for your compliment on my sweetie! the handle bar riser you was asking about was purchased at JPCycles. Heres the link:

Hi Tmax. Great looking paint job and I truly LOVE the sidecover decal. I've been wanting to have my side cover repainted from the stock black to Pacific Blue to match the rest of the bike. The decal you had made would be the finishing touch to that. Are you sure you don't mind some of us getting the decal? After all, you went through all the work to have it designed and I wouldn't want to use it if you would feel infringed on. But I really like it and would definetly like to get one. Let us know for sure if it's ok with you.
Thanks, Paw.
