Hi all and I must start by saying what a cracking site, but I need some info please if any one can help. I have recently bought a triumph adventurer 1997 from a seller in Manchester and as much as I love the bike I have got to replace the petrol tank due to the bottom of the tank is rotton and leaking. I now have a replacement tank but it needs to be painted. my bike is 2 tone purple and cream and I am struggling to get the paint codes, I have contacted a triumph dealer 4 times and cant or wont help me and I keep resending the e-mail to them but still no reply, any idea's please
Welcome to the forum, can't believe your dealer won't help give Staffordshire Triumph a call they've always be brilliant help :upyeah:
paint codes Many thanks chrispy, I used to live in staffs myself in tamworth before I moved to bogtrotting country.
Let me have a look in this book when I get home from work as it has paint details in it. There is a bit of an issues getting some of the paint codes for some of the early Hinckleys as there were a lot of records destoyed in the fire. Just had this with my 1000 Daytona where they could not tell me if it was Radiant or Lancaster Red. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hinckley-Tr...d=1388671227&sr=1-1&keywords=hinckley+triumph
Have been able to find the colour codes for all Hinckley Triumphs and have posted them on the technical help page :smile: The proper name for your bikes colours is Violet and Ivory. in 97 there were a shed load of different colours which includes nine different ones for the Adventurer / Thunderbird. Hope this is of help. Steve
