The original color, I believe, was Candy Flake Apricot but I really must pat my color blind old self on the back for picking this shade.  It is really growing on me and after an hour or two of tiny brushes and paint the badges are mounted......

Looks like a good match to me, or very close.

Great job !

The Mac 4 into 2 mufflers may be period correct but they are damn sure not plug and play with the stock headers.  A lot of slicing and dicing with the wheel of death but they are on.  You can also keep the stock side and center stand but I am going to have attach some buffering rubber on the contact points.  Going to look at the carbs one more time, then final bolt up.  I have no idea when I can test ride it, cold as a Witch's sweater muffin here in Virginia currently.....
