I've got some pics of a guy in the US that did his in pearl white that looked good,  how about doing yours in black with flip flop lacquer and call it the Black Pearl   

Mine was a BMW silver when I got it, looked OK but I couldn't wait to change it for obvious reasons  how about the Lunar Silver that they are using on the new Trophy,  put a howling Wolf silhouette on the side panels and call it Howling Moon.

OK I'm stretching things a bit now.

I'm 99.9% certain the bronze colors official name is "Sandstorm"

I have an official Triumph Accessories and clothing catalog from 1999 that was in the papers I got when I bought my used Legend. According to the color descriptions available for the "Topbox 45 Litre", the colors for 93-95 were Pimento Red and Caspian Blue. 96-98 they show Volcanic Red, British Racing Green, Jet Black, Chilli Red (yes, with two l's), Khaki, and Diablo Black. No mention of the bronze, but this may have been a US- specific catalog?
The 99 listed Lightning Yellow and Jet Black as the only two choices for that year.

sin, i grew up in the 80s, if it was siler with a wolf id have to call it silver bullet  anyone have any pics of the old racin tigers series they done ? what did those bikes look like ?

[rf9rider]

They were nothing special Rybes, black and red.

I`ll post a pic later.

[rf9rider]

My mistake, black and orange.

[Mustang]

did ya know the bike wasn't  really a Tiger ?

It just wore Tiger body panels and fuel tank .

[rf9rider]

Yup, spoke to Clive last year, told me all about the "good old days"

[John Stenhouse]
