Ideas for new paint
« on: February 13, 2007, 01:53:00 PM »
Hey Guys.

I'm at a loss.  I got my '71 CB500 last fall and got it running good.  Now before the spring gets here I'm wanting to work on getting it cosmetically looking sharp.  I am just wondering if you guys could post some pictures of your restored bikes for me to get an idea of what direction I want to go.  Thanks a bunch.

at it resistant  ;D
