You asked for it....New paint

After an informal poll, the Repsol paint scheme was the one I went with



Turned out pretty good, still not complete though. The other side needs touch up and the tank needs clearcoat. I painted the headlight the same also (forgot to take pics of it though).

This is what it looked like before after a few years of hard use.



The prep begins














It's never gonna be a show bike but for a few cans of rattle paint I'm very happy with the results.
The weather up here hasn't been super good so it's taken longer to paint then I would've liked. Hopefully it stops raining tomorrow and I can finish her up and put the bike back together.

I dunno yet, I didn't want to make too much work for myself. I'm going to put the tank back on the bike and see if the red wheels match enough. We'll see though....
