Re: Black Frame

I honestly think a black frame would improve the appearance 3 fold, some people think the VTR is ugly - I don't agree, I think it's unique and already beautiful but a black frame would enhance looks to a new level I reckon it's a bigger job than I'm probably anticipating, most definitely a winter jo...

Re: Black Frame

Black frame - I was just playing around with this idea. I also have a Triumph Speed Triple, In 2005, Triumph changed the colour of the Speed Triple's frame from silver to black, In my mind - a huge improvement on the over all appearance.
