Actually there is high probability that they took the idea from me. Mine 
was completed in January of last year - many people related to Triumph took 
pics of it at Bike Week last year - I would assume one of these sparked the 
idea for the German dealer.  There are a few other pics of it on the "My 
ST" link on the ST site. It was done by a local artist in Melbourne FL who 
has done several pieces for me and my friends including a couple RAT pieces

he did this one for my 509 (called Kermit)

and this one for a 595

my two favorite elements on that one are the tail punching through the RAT 
logo and the "Here Piggy Piggy Piggy" at the bottom - he obviously doesn't 
take it to a lot of HOG rallies ;-)

This is my current RAT - new and improved, much like the ST

The pictures really don't do it justice - those that have seen it in person 
can agree. He puts a lot of time into small details that just don't show up 
on the film.
