Anybody know if Triumph will release a blacked out Thunderbird, ie engine case etc, (speedmaster style) or if they are available from anywhere?

Birdy did a photoshop of a Tbird where he made it blacked out and with a paint scheme on the tank similar to a speedmaster. I have to say if they offered that i would be awful tempted to trade in. Tho i do love the chromed out bird a lot too. But theres something about the speedmaster theme (the original look) i really love, and it's more unique. Ask him for the pic...it looks awesome. makes the Tbird look a lot like a pre '08 speedmaster.

Regarding the black on black tbird...I'm waiting for that same freakin color scheme as the black speedy - once that comes out my order f
goes in same day. I also want the red badge with the gold pinstripe outlining the red (but I'll get that painted if they'll just do the darn blackie ready).

Sorry Daz... I'm a bit lazy these days... Anyway - you know where I am if I should react quicker

OK - That blacked out TBird with Speedmaster colours and one with a different (shorter) headlamp.

See attachments.
