Okay guys...got the tank back a couple weeks ago. My painter did a fantastic job. No decals all paint. Since it is mid September in WI I plan to wait until spring to put it on. Enjoy the pics...not sure how the orange will turn out on the computer, but in person she really pops. He mentioned it was quite time consuming to do the stripes and all. I believe it...

Strap it up and use it on your snowblower so you can enjoy it all winter long.  :D

Thanks for the comments guys. As Stev-o said she really pops out in the sun. Finally got my sunflake orange back. Sure missed it!

So to finalize this post I started in July 2022 regarding getting those sunflake orange tins back from my painter last fall. Waited until now to get them on this K3 and I had to give you all a look see. Again, there are no decals on the tank. He did a fantastic job and now I can ride with my favorite color. I sure missed the orange K4 I sold a few years ago. Lucky enough I had spare side covers and a spare tank that was clean and already to go.
