« on: July 14, 2010, 12:28:00 PM »
This thread is for those beautiful redhead ginger SOHCs...the sunrise orange, the burnt orange, the its almost-red orange...and CBs qualify...

Happiness comes in pairs  ;D



Redheads love orange bikes ;)



And the one that got sold..

I think I posted this before.  But, it's definitely orange!

No, I'm not painting the fairing orange.  The silver just goes so well with the engine!   ;D

The tank is interesting, it fades from silver flake on top to orange flake on the sides. It's only custom if you count sun fading.

I have another orange bike, but it isn't a SOHC. (It's a Buell)

It looks awesome the way it is.

Almost makes me want to do the same thing on my 750 but then I would actually have to clean my engine.

Not mine, but here's Linda's (forum name smithrelo) pristine '75 550.  I've worked on it so many times over the past several years that I'm sort of attached to it.  This thing literally glows in the direct sun. 8)

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

First bike, just picked it up recently.  It needs a new paint job, and once ready I am sticking with Orange!

hey Johnie lets see a pic of this K4 out on the road - I only ever see it parked in your driveway ;)...can you tell me what fuel filters yuo are using on the K4 - I notice your gas lines are routed on the outside of the carbs. I used to have mine like this and running 1/4 filters on the outside but they werent so good at filtering...

Markcb750 - love this paint job - very nice!

Thanks to all for posting your orange bikes - all look very good and no idea we had so many ;)

cheers
