Title: Replacement Decals/Stickers?
Post by: fishnbiker on September 25, 2020, 10:39:41 PM
I am planning a repaint on my 95 Steamer & would like any info on replacement decals/stickers for the whole bike, as a set. Planning to change from Diablo black to Caribbean blue.
anyone have ideas?

Thanks, Ken/Fishnbiker

I got mine from Bikedecals.co.uk, they do Triumph and the Steamer style Tiger logo from stock. Other stuff can be made to order. Click on Roadbikes on the menu on the left.

Cheaper than that at our local Triumph dealer on Vancouver Island, western Canada, even before postage.

They still haven't returned my inquiry after 10 days

Caspian Blue shurely  :icon_scratch: or are you going for a custom look?

I used Bike Decals UK, in fact I think mine was the first set they did, after a good bit of editing and no small amount of help from other inmates with dimensioning etc. Not perfect but you wouldn't know the difference unless a factory original was parked alongside.

The Non Black models had a black shadow fade above the headlights if you want to keep it "correct"

Did they? My red steamer didn't have that as far as I can remember... But that was one from that initial couple of months of production when they painted the side covers on the engine the color of the bike as well...

Yes my pimento red steamer had a fading black area over the headlamps, now removed.
Nice to see you back Nial.

Hi guys  :wave

I think the shadow was omitted on the last year or so of production, same as the colour matched sump guard frame, last year or so were all black.

Problem uploading the photos.

Ok, so this was my model year 1994 Tiger:

This is the only picture I can find with a head-on shot, but there is no shadow there. :)

My 95 does have it. It also had the color matched sump guard, but I powdercoated that black, as I liked it better that way.
Glad to finally be able to log on and say hi to everyone!

'94 should have had one, respray or front panel from a '98?

A preliminary check of these for having been resprayed, is check the edge of the decal with a finger nail. You should be able to see / feel the transition but not the decal edge as they were clear coated over the decals from the factory. Few bother with the clear coat as they usually send the panels to a painter then fit replacement decals themselves. If it's been a dealer repair for insurance they would just replace the panel.
