Default Custom Paint

I had to pick up a filter @ my local indy shop and they were in the process of re-installing the custom paint job a customer had done to his Triglide. It was repainted to the 2006 Screamin Eagle color with a few twists done by the painter. The blueish strip has air brushed clovers in it with one 4 leaf clover hidden in the stripping.

Also the customer had custom speakers installed in the trike body. I couldnt tell if the speakers were protected from the bottom

That's a beautiful paint job but I'm not so sure about those rear speakers. I bet it sounds sweet though.

Why am I unable to view the pictures? I can look at all of them that are posted on exrternal sites but can not view ones that are posted on here,

The following is what I get:

  2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation."
Not doing anything except clicking on the attachment with the img

Looking at the speaker picture I see the girly calendar on the wall. Now that is a very good sight you have a quality mechanic....

The paint job looks well done....BUT the speakers look like an after thought because the paint lines and color don't flow into the speakers....odd the artist (painter) wouldn't see that.

True...I must say the speaker grills kinda ruin the the nice paint scheme, IMHO!

Wow, I can finally see the pictures. Whoever took care of this THANK YOU.

It is quite a paint job for sure but not anythng I personally would want. I kind of have something against greens ever since I was in the Army and that was a lot of years ago. I agree with the speakers not really belonging. Sure would see him/her coming

I met the owner of this Triglide with this custom paint job today and it looks amazing in the sun. I asked him about the speakers and he told me he had marine grade 6 1/2" top and 5 1/4" lower speakers with a protective cups installed to keep water and debris from ruining the speakers. He also has 2 separate amps to power the speakers and I can say his radio definitely puts out some volume without trying.
