Paint Job: Which Are The Best Stickers To Put On?

[hdready]

We'll give our Street Twin a nice dark green paint job, but where not yet sure about the 'decoration'. Do Bonneville emblems fit? Any nice stickers we should have seen? Any other great ideas or inspiration you have?

This is the current photoshop,I'm happy to post updates!

As a color I think we'll go with the Daytona Centennial Edition color (Aston Green, Dupont 487850101 Triumph touch paint part # T3120300-HH) or the current Thruxton green (Competition Green, does anyone have the paint code?)

I am sure you will be able to find standard Triumph stickers and badges that would fit onto your bike. I am looking forward to seeing the finished product

For the tank we have decided to go with the Triumph chrome letter emblem (like the green Thruxton). For the Street Twin stickers on the side, my dealer told me about the prive and I tell you I can get a lot better things than two stickers for that money. Yesterday I also found chrome stickers that say 'street' and others saying 'twin cam'. I think about ordering those to combine them, cut off the 'cam' and that's it.

Last questions remaining: what is the color code of the competition green (maybe ask my dealer) and should we add two white lines on the tank or maybe this tank strap ... Leather gas tank strap for motorcycle

I see there is also a Street Twin sticker available here Triumph Street Twin Vinyl stickers x 2

As far as the tank strap goes the thing that does worry me if there is any type of movement it can damage the paint work around it

Alright, ordered two pairs in white. Will let you know what quality they are. The alternative is:

Street Fender and Saddlebag Emblem | ZZ17035
Plus
TWIN CAM Fender Saddlebag Emblems Road King Road Glide SWITCHBACK

Then cut off the 'cam'. Might work

 

[DaveM]

Well if you can get an even cut on the Twin Cam one and match it up to the Street one it also might look very neat, it will be intresting to see what option would work out better.

Wrote to Jetglow Emblemzz, they produce the chrome emblems. Asked for Street Twin emblems, lets see how they respond...

Martin,
YOu may find a local sign shop in your area can scan in a logo/design and manipulate it in Photo shop or Adobe Illustrator to just about anything you desire, then print in full color vinly cut, you apply, and clear coat over it.
Make sure they know your going to clear coat over though...... They can offer suggestions for materials in your area.

I guess we'll go with the raised chrome stickers on the tank.

But what about the side panels? The Street Twin stickers @DaveM found won't be come any cheaper than that. The street twin For the side panels, I'm still undecided. The chrome emblem might work and look even better, but it might fail as well. Having a custom sticker made as @keystiger suggested is an option, but what should it be then...? Thought about a 'Bonneville ST' sticker, since Triumph sells the Street Twin under the Bonneville name (at least in Germany on all catalogues it says Bonneville). Another option is to get the ST chrome emblem from a Ford Focus ST and put it on the side (just the ST)...

Well, at least I found the color:
Brookland Green

Just came across the Saab 900 emblem ... another idea, and I quite like it! Looks clean, compared to all other options you don't notice the different fonts that much...

 

[DaveM]

I like the idea you have in the photo above that does look very neat and it also matches in great. If you could get a small Street Twin for just under the 900 that might also work.

 

[hdready]

Good idea @DaveM ... would look like this, I really like it! Not sure if I should get it in white or a light grey, since everything else would be shiny chrome stickers...

 

[DaveM]

Now that looks nicely finished off

 

[Rocky]

Looks great
