That may  end any debate on this Dealer Installation legend.  However,  I  
swear "honest Injun" the one TR250 I saw, brought into Team Triumph here  in  
the 
States as an original, unrestored Signal Red TR250 had an  applied,  
reflective 
silver tape on it.  I was astonished at the  time since the vast  majority of 
TR250's stripes were obviously  painted on.  Is it possible that  some 3M 
salesman was just  trying to save the Company a few Bucks and a few were  
sent out as  
Trial Balloons?

Anything's possible, I suppose. Admittedly, I know relatively little about  
this sort of thing, but I have to wonder if "tooling up" for a tape stripe kit  
might have cost more than painting the stripes on, given the relatively low  
volume? Just a guess....
