The paintwork is nice, in your face but nice.
The first association i made with that paintjob was with vehicles like this.

:twisted:

Just don't try and ride yours the same as these ones are.

If you give enough notice we'll organise an "old dungers" ride, we love an excuse to get the old girls out!

I have always been a fan of original looks however since seeing metaltriumph's results I have to admit that I can appreciate these machines.

The effort you guys go to making these oldies shine amazes me...I would not have the patience to do such a job.

Keep up the good work mate. :kuda:
