Looks good! I actually did that too my copper/black bike and had it like that for awhile. Looks better on your all black bike though.

I believe the graphics on the tank are actually painted, if I'm not mistaken...?

Thanks man i like it alot more ....yea i believe they are painted on not ready to go through the hassle of trying to paint over that right now

The tank graphics are actually a decal but they are applied under the clear coat of paint. If you run a finger over the edges you can feel the lip of the decal under the clear coat. I actually just finished removing my fairing decals last weekend and I am extremely happy with the result. Now to cover the tank graphics with a vinyl and I'll be all set!

Since the white 2009's had the same issue with the decals being under the clear coat, there's been a few members on here that have done some form of this to their tanks:

It is possible to remove the decals under the clear coat if you're very patient and know what you're doing. Someone on the triumph675 forum removed the tank decals and it turned out pretty darn good:

If you remove anything under the clear coat you need to completely sand and re apply the clear coat.

How hard is it to do this? I've got the High Fusion Tech Spec grips on their way to me to cover my decals, but I'd like to remove the decals just for the sake of not having them on there anymore. Is it a difficult / expensive procedure? Will it look like I did it myself or will it blend in with the stock easily?

I would not recommend this as a do it yourself project. Unless you have body shop and paint experience as well as all the tools.

If you take it to a body shop my guess would be $100 - $200 +\-

Ah alright I'll just cover them with the decals to be on the safe side. Thanks Jesse

I will trade you straight up my 2011 raven tank if you want one without decals. I was at the dealer picking up some parts and I am already looking at buying the 2012 decals for my raven after seeing the 2012 in person. A matching tank would finish it all up
