Title: Orange Bagster Tank Cover
Post by: Juvecu on July 31, 2013, 21:21:24

Does anyone have an orange Bagster tank cover fitted to an older shape Wee or to a Vee? If so, could you please take me some photos in good light so I can accurately see the shade of orange?

It's a long shot, but thanks in advance :)

:ty:

Am I right in saying it's a richer/dark orange rather than a lighter orange?

I thought it was a bit lighter myself,if you give Bagster a call they will send you a sample.

Keep phoning up and asking for samples, in the end you can sow it all together and have the first patchwork quilt tank cover  :)

Emailed them via the contact page on the www.baglux.co.uk (http://www.baglux.co.uk) site. Let's hope they bother checking emails.

They were quick to reply and said they can make a "special cover" for me using any colour from their colour range. She is posting me a full colour swatch and an order form for a special cover.

I'm thinking I'll be vinyl wrapping my front and rear side panels. Then I just need an orange Bagster tank cover instead of wrapping the tank. Tanks are the most difficult to wrap because of all the curves. Just a thought I'm playing with, I might wrap the tank anyway. I might end up getting a black Bagster cover, then if I wrap a different colour on the side panels in the future I don't need to get a different colour Bagster cover.  If I wrap the tank I might just buy the universal harness instead, I don't need a cover if the tank is vinyl wrapped, the vinyl wrap is the cover.

Just considering all my options :)
