Saw a color the other day, liked it a lot!
Never was a big fan of the pleather faux tank door, so I bought a spare and stripped the material and emblem. Filled in the emblem and working out the transition to the lock.
New paint time!

Re: New paint time!
Well, without giving away the make and paint code...a red with fine grain metallic and a high amount of flop.
Flop is a painters term for how a color changes based on the angle of the light. This one flops almost black!

Re: New paint time!
Nice progress.
One question, why the trunk bag and not saddlebags?
Makes throwing one legs over the seat harder with a trunk bag but many others use a trunk bag when the saddlebags are full.

Re: New paint time!
Trunk can come off after removing 4 bolts, but I leave it on.
I have over the saddle bags for travel.
Trunk is easy to get on the bike with, but when I slide the old Arthur Fulmer back rest forward to the pilot position, getting on requires stepping up on the footpeg and fully raising my foot at the knee.
