My Tricolore

This is my lovely new Tricolore. It is a total beast. Those in the know will see what my only mod is. I also made my own vented Tricolore clutch cover. It's #237. Let the drooling begin !!
Sorry for the thumb.
I think both the color and the construction of the full system to be artwork.

Ah yes, the best of the beasts! Mine is #187 and it should have its full Termi system on at the end of the week. Really brings the bike to life and smoothes out the running, not that it's any slouch to begin with! I've already added the carbon hugger, and switched out the chain guard, sprocket cover and heel guards for carbon, as well as adding Speedymoto frame sliders. But it's too cool looking to really change much. I am contemplating the carbon replacement for the beer tray that shows off a bit of the frame rails on back, though. Can't wait for those Termis!!!!! How do you love it with those pipes?

That is an absolutely 100% fantastic looking tri.
Did you powdercoat the headers? They look like the same color as the wheels/frame, maybe it's just the lighting from the photo.
Thanks for the pictures. Awesome.

She is a beaut. Take it easy the first 5K miles though cuz thats when accidents are most likely to happen after you get confident from the first 2-3K miles. In other words congratsi and ride safe!
Curious to know if your tank is plastic. Word to the wise: If it is plastic you'd better be extra careful because the paint job on plastic is MUCH softer then steel. I put more scratches on my plastic tank the first 2 months of ownership than I did in the 4 years that I had my previous metal tank bike.

The tank is plastic. It seemed to have alot of really fine scrtches on it when I first got it. No one could see them but me
. They deissappear with a good waxing.
That's the color of the full system. It's not powder coated or anything. I use nevr-dull to keep them looking like that. I don't know what it was like before hand (I ordered it with the pipes) but it is pretty darn fast and sounds awesome. It has the airbox mod and DP ECU.
The clutch cover took a few hours with a Dremel tool and alot of spray paint.
Thanks for all the positive comments. I can't wait to ride it home from work. 2 more hours!!

She's a beaut!
That gang of snakes view of the pipes is the best.
600 mi. and a 14t front sprocket and 10,000 rpms is all you need now. The rush from 8,000 to 11,000 is as good as it gets in my book.
Enjoy.
, but watch out for this guy
.
By the way, that's a very eclectic taste in machinery you got.
