Spooner - I have the complete article. It was on the cover of the UK edition of Torque the RAT magazine Issue No 11 Spring 99.

The work was done by the staff at Swedens MCM (I assume Motorcycle Mechanics magazine). They stripped the chrome off by sandblasting and then anodised. They did loads of other cosmetic and tuning stuff like reducing the weight from 225 to 185 kg tuning it to 87 hp, giving it a flame paint job seat hump, black exhaust system, top speed 225 kmh (about 132 mph) etc etc.

Some big names in the Swedish bike world were invloved in graphics and tuning etc. Ever heard of Sixten Sigge Triumph tuning guru ??? Send me youre e-mail and will pdf it to you.

You are smarter than me with this web technical stuff and will probably know how to link it to the forum - you got to see it !

Cheers
