Triumphrat

Why it's a blacked-out Dart flyscreen, of course. So I bought a Dart flyscreen and had our notorious co-member D9 paint it black for me. I never really cared much for the factory Triumph flyscreen, and completely disliked the smoke tint on the Dart. But this thang looks totally bitchin if you ask me!!! On top of adding great looks... it cuts through the wind like butter, and helps to hide your instruments as well. Kudos to D9 on a job well done.

I was able to take some decent pics today, as we finally got a break in our daily deluge of Texas size rain showers.

Check 'em out:

Now I know what you're thinking, and "NO"... it wasn't cheap to purchase and have it professionally painted. But you get what you pay for IMO. Please don't ask what I paid, because I won't tell. But if you'd like something similar, then just contact D9 (aka Seth) and he'll quote you a price for what you'd like to have done.

Looks great. I'm with you & like the look of the dart better than the full wrap around Tri flyscreen. Great lookin' T-100. Love the Tunes.

Lookin' good road_dog! Just curious; you get any whistling through that gap between the top of the headlamp and bottom of the screen? I was considering one of these until I read the ups and downs on this forum and decided to continue riding bare...

Hey road_dog, really nice stand of grass in the yard there!

Oh yea, the bike looks great too!

Looks great big dog!

After 70mph you can duck behind it and get some relief from the head bobble. Did you chrome your side covers or spend a lot of time and money getting your brother to shine it up like that?

Bike looks great but one thing....when will it STOP RAINING IN TEXAS #$%^&&*$#!!!

Nice looking bike! I have the Dart screen and have been waiting to see your finished product. Can you tell me what sort of paint was used? As I am in AUS I don't think I can afford to fly D9 out to do the job for me :-(

I would bet D9 would love a vacation down under! Awesome looking bike Dog! I agree I really don't like the smoked very much, but the blacked out look is great.

Thanks Fellas... it turned out even better that had I imagined.

slowgator... no whistling noises. None that's audible, and I'm a dog.

SHRuuM... T100s come with chromed engine cases, I shine 'em myself.

smac... Please ask D9 about any details, like what paint he used. Sorry.

Loxpump... I bought a Dart last Summer, installed it, rode for a few days and then proceeded to remove it and list it in the classifieds. Then this summer I got the idea to have one painted black and had to buy another. There's no comparison IMO.
