      I'll have one for you soon, Octain. A 1968 Triumph Bonnieville that will have a stock colored paint job, but..with a satin finish.... Should be pretty cool..

        I have SO thought about a 78 GS1000 with the stock Skunk colors only in a matte finish.
        Would really give it a sinister look. With shiny engine bits to boot.
        Hmm, makes my mouth water..

          You're gonna get a chance to have some fun when I finally get the Kat to you (and the '78 1K as well) Larry. I know I've been saying that for a while, but it's coming.

            LARRY!!!!!! That blue is gonna be the next 78 1000C scheme for me. Glad you got the ins on the decal kit!! That was one of my concerns since till reading this i havent been able to source one. I already know the cost and when i get seriuos about doing the build I will start eating Ramen noodles and drinking nothing but water till I have saved enough. Now as for my favorite flavor..judging on the pics, I would say youve just invented a 4 flavor NEOPOLITAN

              I swear, probably 75% of my business comes from the folks on this site. You guys have been amazing. I'm grateful.

                This blue looks killer in the sunlight, Chuck. I think you'll be happy with that decision.

                  Got the Maroon and Orange, so the next logical step would be the Blue

                      The bottom of the tank was actually in very nice condition, so I had the color matched from that. It's virtually dead on to the original. The top of the tank had been spray canned (badly) several times with various blues, so it was a miracle that the underside had remained basically untouched.

                            Black and White skunk come in a close second.
