What colour Tank Respray

Decided that I cant live with scratches on my tank, its black, side panels are black as are the mud guards, only having the Tank sprayed so whats going to look best?

It's really a matter of personal taste and how much money you are going to spend.

Personally, I've always wanted a black Tbird with silver scallops on the tank. Not the right colors, but Here's a pic of the pattern taped off.

Black. With black pinstripes. And maybe black scallops.

You might have noticed that black is my favourite colour for a bike. Having said that, I just broke with years of tradition and had my other bike resprayed in a bright red Ford colour ("Colorado red") and I am really pleased with the result.

I always thought the Black with Lucifer Orange Scallops was the best 2 tone Triumph did on any of the Classic Triple line.
