I happened to have a can of duplicolor to match the 05 color of the tank, so I sprayed the front and back to match. this isn't the final color, but will be fine to get it running and rolling. paint can come later.
yeah, carbs are off. waiting to hear from Steve to get them sent to him for cleaning. I got the turn signals for the back. still have the brake light to install. just license plate bracket, mirrors, and decent tires to get it on the road.
