I really like the illusion of tank indents that you created. Great Job!

Thanks John. I got the pin striping from Repco but I think ive seen it at Autobarn & Supercheap. I used the 6mm.
Cheers, Richard

Thanks Brent. It took a few designs and refining to get it looking right on the fat Efi tank.
Cheers, Richard

Nicely done Richard.... I wonder what the stripes would look like on the pre 2009 tanks with the indents?

I kinda like it with three stripes. Looks sleeker to me but its your bike and either way I like where your heading with this.

Richard where did you find the rack for the rear fender?

That's a Triumph OEM accessory. The Harley rack is almost identical and fits our bikes - it's cheaper but has a lower profile - which looks better but is less practical (getting straps under the rack). My rack set-up is aided by the use of stainless eye-bolts in the fender mounts.
Cheers, Richard

I use Stainless eye bolts at the front and the rear of my rack as well, sure beats losing your stuff because of a flimsy attach. http://www.mcmaster.com/#general-purpose-eyebolts/=evqgzr
