Just got a sneak preview of the tank from my Tiger repaining so thought I'd stick it on here for comments. There are a lot more cosmetic and other mods and as soon as I've put everything back together, you lot will be the first to see, besides me of course !!
Still needs whiskers, some more work on the claws and loads of laquer but its not far off. I know its all a matter of taste, but I like it !!

Man, that is outrageous! How did you find the painter? Are the other parts similar? You doing anything with the frame too?

Sure are some talented people out there. Can't wait to see more.

HI, yeah these guys have also done my Blackbird about 3 years ago and when I got the Tiger I wanted something that was different so I went back to them, you can see their other stuff at Air Devils. All the plastics on the Tiger will have the same base coat, the side panels will just have Triumph Tiger 955i written on them but the sports screen at the front will have another Tigers head (roaring of course!) on it. Also had the spoked wheels black plastic coated, Blue Flame Carbon Exhaust and just waiting for Mikes Grills bits to come. Also got a pair of PIAA lights to finish it off, not looking at the bank balance for a while tho !!

This is my Blackbird.

Cool design - should look great on the finished bike.

Hope you've got bungs or engine bars to protect your investment

I bow deep for two things:

1)
The idea and execution - superb!!!

2)
The fact that a SCOTSMAN spends what is obviously an horrible lot of money............. :wink:
