    Hi guys

    I'm currently in a dilemma.... I am considering respraying my daytona from its current colour (silver with GB flag) to either gloss or matte black with either red or blue daytona decals

    Would you keep it how it is or spray it???

    Here's an option for you if you want to change the colour, at least you can peel it off if you don't like it!

    Never thought about vinyl could be an alternative... I do like the silver but I do have a thing for black bikes...I really cannot decide :-(

    The silver is nice, the Union Jack stickers look ......
    But the may be able to be removed surely?
    If you do the colour change if it was me I would go Matt black but with white Daytona stickers

    The best bit about your bike is the contrast between the sobre and subtle metallic silver and the outrageous Union Jack - I just love it !!!!

    The front union jack has been lacquered on so would be a case of new fairing or a lot of cursing on a Sunday afternoon with no guarantee of a positive result, I think it would be do-able though..

    I know I totally agree and that's why I'm so torn :(:(:( my other half gave me a third, more expensive, option....buy a new set of fairings or piece them together from crashed daytona's and respray them then change them over, if I hate it or 'touch wood' have an accident then I have another set of fairings to refit on the bike. I want to stay true to the British Triumph look but need to feed the craving for a stealth bike so this may be a good solution

    I've decided to keep as is for now. I wanna focus on maintenance to keep the bike running sweet.

    I have come to fall in love with the Triumph Scrambler 900's I saw one in Honda Lings near me and the "sticking out like a sore thumb" appearance really caught my attention... then we watched Jurassic Worls last night and I soon realised Chris Pratt rides one. Just need a scrambler and some velociraptors and I'll be in heaven!
