Hello All,

I have been modifying my bike alot recently, and am not sure if I like where it's heading. I think I need some type of vinyl to pull together the gold/black/green theme. Please see the pics below and tell me what you all think!?

MODS:

Powdercoating:
Gold Front Calipers
Gold Rear Sets / Passenger Pegs
Gold Rear Sprocket
Gold Pinstripe Wheels
Triumph Gold Anodized S3 Fat Bars Kit + Risers
Dynojet Power Commander (Installed)
New F/R Signals (not installed)
Black Bar Ends (Not Installed)
Stainless steel longer brakes lines (F and R, not installed)

My thoughts:

1. Powdercoating the magneto cover and clutch cover gold. Question I have is will I have to remove the engine oil to pull either cover off?
2. Get black racing stripe down the middle of the bike and get thin gold accept stripes on both sides of the black stripe (perhaps 1/4" thick) to tie into the gold PC'd parts. I just don't like how the gold PCing looks random and doesn't tie into the bike as well as I'd like....
3. Other option is to go back to black PCing out everything except the sprocket and front calipers........

LETS HEAR YOUR CREATIVE SUGGESTIONS!!!!!

gold pin-striping on the frame and or seat?

Personally, I would stop with the gold. Gold accents are one thing, but it is very easy to cross the line into gaudy. I think everything is as fluid as you can get it with the color selection. The handlebar being a different copper/gold than the rest is somewhat distracting to me, so maybe see about getting that the same color?

Yeah, I kinda feel the same. I think the gold is getting a bit out of control. Was thinking about PCing the bars too, but I kinda like that they have the Triumph logo in the center.....

I need to find a way to tie the gold into the bike better or get rid of the gold rear sets. It just sucks cause they turned out so nice!!!

Having my own powdercoating kit at my disposal I think leads to PCing more than I typically would if I were paying someone else to do the work....ya know!?

i say keep all the gold accents and paint everything else Ferrari Satin Black...that would dope as F&CK

Got some more work done on the bike....excuse the photos, it was dark out and I didn't have my D-SLR handy.

What I did today:

1. Installed short stalk mirrors
2. Powdercoated the bars gold
3. Powdercoated the headlight housings matte black, while leaving chrome rings
4. Powdercoated the rear caliper gold
5. Installed my custom stainless brake lines (f&r)
6. Pinstriped the rear wheel w/ 3/8" thicker gold pinstriping (still have to pinstripe front wheel)

Beautiful bike! How 'bout a carbon fiber hugger with a gold weave?

Like the Gold calipers, but I'd go w/ black powder coating the pegs and hangers.

Never understood Triumph's reasoning with the coating colors. My TT has a black frame w/ silver wheels and pegs, but a friends Daytona had a silver frame w/ black wheels ans pegs.
