    When I had my Sprint955 I had it all sprayed in the tvr purple can't remember the name now. But it was terrific. Of course I worked for ICI Autocolor then so it was cheap as chips. But boy did that bike stand out. Really colour is a personal thing and no one can help you make up your mind as you will never really convince your self. I feel you want something individual that is something only you have. The only thing I would say is get replacement body work and store the originals. Then you can change back if you decide to sell or change. I found it when I had the sprint no one wanted it because of the colour and dealers would only give me a stupid deal to trade.

    Your experience adds credence to the wrapping option, Joe.

    I keep a selection of colour schemes as ideas for work I do, try these.....
    Mainly picked the ones contrasting white.

    Just want to make it clear. That when I said about the Black it was only in jest. Your Bike your choice.

    I think I’m going to give this a go - I’ve asked Herts Triumph if they can get hold of a set for me. It’s something that’s bothered me from day one, actually.

    Well, I’ve ordered the side panels in matt black today, and I guess I can pick them up when my bike goes in for its 500 mile service shortly. I think my plan then is to leave the fenders as they are, and have a classic black and off-white Bonnie paint job on the tank and call it a day at that. Oh, I’m going to get the black intake covers too.

    Thoughts on that plan, anyone? I’m thinking that 8 Ball Custom can do it for me.

    Edit: I'm adding the black headlamp bezel and cage from the Scrambler, too :)

    I've heard mixed feedback on 8Ball, Surrey Customs are allegedly good, there are plenty in and around the smoke

    There a chap that sprays for Jack Lillys and he is fantastic. Phone them and get his details. He also sprays all the BMW Paris Dakar bits and a lot of Mc Claren fi stuff.
