so, been getting some stuff done on this bike. i decided to go with a cream color. actually its called cool vanilla. its a newer chrysler color. the pics dont do it justice. they make the bike look white, but really its a nice light cream. i got my rearsets mostly ready to go aside from cleaning up some welds and fine tuning the linkage adjustments.

the bike now starts easily after i fixed the wiring going to my starter solenoid. also i installed an electronic flasher relay for the tail/turn/stop lights. the lights blink fast but i think its more attention grabbing rather than putting load resistors in.

still lots of work to do like jetting/tuning the carbs. 78f3 motor/72 carbs/aftermarket 4 into 1/stock airbox. wonder how all that will mix together??

That seat is top notch workmanship!!!

I would paint the tank a color that works with the brown seat.
Like a deep red, something like that.

@lucky--red isnt an option anymore, the most i will do to bodywork now is wetsanding and buffing. there is some dirt and imperfections that need worked out. pretty cool looking red, thats what color it was originally. like i said though, the pics really dont show the true color.

in other 750 news; i aquired a bad ass hardtail frame made by Alleycat Customs. it has a double backbone and is too cool.  i traded labor for putting shocks and axle universal joints on a friend of mines jeep (other misc. stuff too) for it.  it takes a harley frontend and rear wheel. shame because i have the honda parts. there is a 75f motor in it painted black.
