Picked up the body work from paint today. Matt's guys at M&M in Aurora, CO did a awesome job. Paint is actually a 2008 Porsche Color.
There is no way my camera is going to do this paint any justice. But here it is anyway.
(Still waiting on a bearing to be able to assemble the swingarm and the rest of the bike).
That looks sweet!

BRG on an S3, simply awesome!
Thanks guys. Can't wait for the rest of the parts to arrive so I can finish it.
Re: Triumph Speed Triple Project
GR8 color choice!
Keep us posted on the progress of this beauty...
That's going to be one fun bike!
I hope you enjoy riding it as much as you do building it. Although, they are two very different things.
I quite often find more enjoyment in the project itself. It's just fun to tweak things the way you want them, and know they're done right - because you did it yourself.
Enjoy
Great color combo there

With a little help from Scott at Rockstomper I cured my swingarm bearing issue and finally got the speed triple off of the engine hoist tonight.
Still need to do a lot to it, but it was nice to see it on the wheels.
Forgive the mess, there has been an engine hoist in the way for months. It is cleaner now.
cool stuff, keep us posted with the progress

I'm thinking about a tan leather seat.
That is exactly what I was thinking

Posting from my phone and can even see them.
i have seen a few guys morph the tail end of a 05+ tail section on and that looks awsome as well. makes it have a lil smaller of an ass.
Firefighters find them hot, leave them wet
Waiting on a bunch of misc parts to arrive to put the rest toghther.
Need to find a coil plug but am having zero luck.
Had time to work on it today.........but it was 66 degrees and sunny here in Colorado so I decided to put off working on the Speedy until another day and took the R1 for a very nice long ride.
I did at least roll it outside and take a camera phone pic. Wish I could have got the sun on the paint, it is sooooo sexy in the sun.
Very Nice!!!
Lookin' good!!!!
schweeeeeeeet
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
That looks great Cole.
