Does anyone know either if you can still get the Blue Flame tins from a dealer? They are not offered on the Triumph site.

or

Any one know where else I could get a set?

Thanx guys.


PS: Thanx Robert, and all that contributed to get the site back up and update.

Just got back from the dealer, looking for a replace blue flame fender. I was advised not available.

Good luck on your search.


Yeah it's fast. It's blue and it has flames.

Thanks, guess I will go the new paint route.

I can get the rear fender and the side cover done at the same time now..

The white paint for the flame job is a bit $$$$, but the color is great and looks real good in the sun. have you thought about flame on the rear fender and the black plastic side cover?

marko,

I definately would like the rear fender "flamed". I have even looked at flame graphics that I could install just like the graphics they put on tuner cars.

BikersEdge here in Wichita has a couple of guys they use for there customs (See American Iron Horse Magazine, I think august's), and they said about 800 buck for the ghost flames on all tins. They can replicate the Triumph patern, which I really like.

I have thought about doing something different in the mean time on the side cover. I think that if it replicated the silver swoosh on the tank outlined in a wide blue stripe with Bonneville America in the silver might look really good.
