Has anyone attempted to detail the Triumph logo on the back of their T100 seat in white? If so how was it done? I'd like to make it a bit more like the old seats.

cheers michael

It has been done by quite a few members, including my self.
I did mine in a gold metallic. It really dresses up the seat
quite nice. You can do it very easily with a fine paint pen.
There are a lot of brands out there to chose from. I used
the very fine pilot gold.

Search under "Gold Seat". There are several guys that have spray painted the entire logo. Others have outlined it with a paint pen. They all get a thumbs up from me. Good luck.

Try this one.Seat Painting

The seats look very nice filled in, I also recommend filling in the "Triumph" wording on your handlebar clamp. It adds a nice visual effect.

I've wanted to do the handle bar clamp too, in red to match the tank. How did you pull it off?!?
