The scoop was that colour when I bought the bike. I intend to take it off and colour match it to the bike. Yes, the horns are loud...sounds like a big rig

Yes, the horns are loud...sounds like a big rig Problem with painting is that stones get thrown onto the scoop and it will chip. Maybe powder coating will stand up better, even chrome scoops get to look sad after a while, I had mine re-chromed a year or so ago and it is starting to lose it's shine already. OK for a show bike but definitely not for a well ridden model.

Yes, powdercoating would prob be a better option. Got some bits on the Triumph that I want coating so I can get them all done at the same time. BLUEWING.......wonder why you like the colour?

You know the old saying, there is no wing like a blue wing, or is that a new saying.
