Modifications To My '79 Bonney

[Glenn]

I bought a Dart Fly Screen and it was made for a T100. All I had to do was drill the hole out to attach it to the headlight bolt on each side. My seat never had the Triumph emblem painted on the back of the seat. I bought the old style stencil but the pin striping part of the stencil was going to be a bear to get right, so I used the newer style solid stencil. It turned out great. I sprayed two light coats of paint and then sealed it with a light coat of clear coat.

Just wondering if it is the same size as the one on my seat back? Mine is worn off on the front of the TRI part of Triumph You know you could go into a small garage business painting seats for guys like us? Free shipping ? LOL!

G62man, it is the same size. The only difference is this is the one used on the new Triumphs. The old style is a bear to put on because of the pin stripping. I tried to use the old style first but gave up after messing with it for 45 minutes. I sprayed it with two thin coats a couple of hours apart and then the next day sprayed it with a couple of thin coats of clear. the same type of clear coat used with base coat/ clear coat.
