Nevermind...I found out this week that your shocks are stock. Mine are encased so there is no chrome showing. My bad. I am curious though about the color scheme. Since we have the same one and it was never an option for this bike that year.
The color scheme was decided simply by picking my 2 favorite colors (Blue and Silver). I never really liked the '72 stripes so I just went with the paint scheme that I've seen on some '68 and '69 Triumphs. No real reason. And the paint was all done with rattle can Duplicolor. I didn't feel like spending thousands for a paint job.
Why did you use springs in the rear? I like it besides that. I also the same bike, same year and almost the exact same color. Besides the color it's all original. What made you choose that color?
@Caferacer311 The blue paint was Duplicolor Metal Specks Ocean Blue purchased at Autozone. The silver was just some Duplicolor Automotive Silver.

@tapster007 Very loud and deep when you give her some throttle. Check out the video that I just posted. Won't let me post the link in the comments.
