Does anybody know how many triumph speed triple to 8 Ball for customised paint jobs like this I've just bought this and I think it looks amazing and wherever I go it turns heads. Oh and does anybody know if the Arrow exhausts are standard on some model (for telling insurance of upgrades)
Mal Hastie Welcome to the family. No Arrow cans are aftermarket. But they do sound great. Your bike is terrific. The thing I found by special colours is if you ever want to trade the bike it has lost a big whack of the value. I had a sprint 955 and painted it all in chameleon Pearl. First I chipped the fairing and it cost an arm and a leg to have it repaired. And when I wanted no dealer wanted it and I lost a fortune selling it. But it is nice to have. Joe.
Dealers tell you it’s worth less as a trade in, for reasons you stated above. They then list it as having a custom paint job, “one of a kind” and sell it as such lol. They’re bastards!
I can't help you 'cause I have no idea what you are talking about. That said, it is an eye-catching paint job and welcome to the forum.
Thanks for the post but this is just blue and black not Chameleon Pearl I would imagine it would be hard to match that for a prang. Your right though I scuffed the belly pan and the blue was £69 just for the paint but I found a brilliant guy to spay it who had bin doing it for about 50 years and he suggested as it faded to black all over it I'll do it in black and he faded back to blue and nobody's ever noticed. I fought I'll be trading it in just bin diagnosed with a touch of cancer so I think it will see me out Ha!! Thanks for the info on the arrow cans they sound really sweet and pop and crack so much as I decelerate down through the gears I love it. Cheers Mal

Greetings, Mal, and welcome to the forum. I was reading down this thread and stopped when I saw you said you've just been diagnosed with cancer. I'm sorry to know that and hope that you do ok and are able to ride that beautiful bike you just bought.
How very kind of you to welcome me and thank you for your thoughtful words I'll keep riding don't worry it's not going to stop me. Cheers Mal
Mal Hastie Yes same here mate bloody cancer. You fight it with all the strength you have. And your family here will be by your side. And your bike is fantastic and it's yours and you love it so that is all that matters mate. Joe.
Mal Hastie. Sorry mate I cocked that one up a bit. God help me I don't get it. I was standing your corner. Joe.
Can't believe the response I have dad on this forum. I joined The Speed Triple.com forum and sled about crash bars on there a paining why I wanted them cos the cancer treatments are making me so weak and I keep dropping the bike and all I got back were sarcastic stupid remarks saying stuff like if your going to put sissy bars on a speedy you shouldn't be riding one. But I only joined two days ago and have so many welcomes and sympathy and good advice on both my posts and I thank you all very much cheers Mal
