Been away for a while started some work on the old girl in January & only today did I receive my new CF radiator cowls. I was so fed up of constantly polishing those wheels & getting nowhere. I decided to have them powder coated white & I found the wheel rim decals on eBay. While this was planned I decided to put some extra colour in so the final drive & brake callipers became red & an excellent job he did, in highlighting the Triumph logo before the lacquer finish. A new single rider seat was found & thanks to a post on this forum I got the leather cover with the red panel. In January I had sent off my radiator cowls for moulding to make them in CF. As far as I can tell this is the only top panel in CF, I certainly haven’t found one anywhere else. A long wait but they finally arrived today some 5 months later. My originals had blistered the chrome finish due to me spilling brake fluid on them from a leaky master cylinder so I decided to bite the bullet & go carbon fibre. All the rear chrome stuff has gone - sissy bar, rack, rear dresser bars & pillion foot pegs. Radiator mesh is now black & sorry to say "Flip’s infill panel has also gone. Now waiting on airbrush painter who is hopefully going to give it some artwork. Anyway here's a few pics taken this evening. It is certainly drawing attention & I think it looks good; you may not.

Can only get 1 image to load up into post (don’t know why) so if you want to look they are in my album.

Love the wheels! I've been trying to figure out what to do with mine. Mine are the older clear coated ones, and the clear coat is aging... White does look good, especially with the rim tape!
 
Thanks Denssell, here are 3 of them.
