Can you spot it?
I removed the chintzy cheap plastic name plates from the tank, and replaced them with chintzy cheap metallic gold decals. Those plastic name plates have bothered me since I got the bike, so I finally did something about it.
I like the decals a lot better.

The decals look nice.
ReplyDeleteWhy would Triumph use plastic instead of decals in the first place?
ReplyDeleteMy 2003 Thruxton, and all of the Bonneville-based models up until (I think) 2009 had bolted-on chromed metal name plates. I suppose that going to the stick-on faux-chrome version was a cost-cutting move.
ReplyDeleteI guess Triumph thinks that people expect the name plate, but I just think that the new ones are too fake. So, I went with the decals, which I like better, anyway.
