Yep it had factory paint but my kid who was paying for it had the final call. He wanted some what of a cafe look to it so he got a seat off an 77F which we quickly found out wouldn't work with the original tank so he traded the original tank for the F tank. It took some work to get the F seat to work on the frame because it not only has different hinges but hinges from the left side where the original seat hinged from the right plus had to move the seat lock from the left side to the right. My kid wanted to go further like put forks from a cbr on it and other mods but that's when I stepped in and said "leave it alone". I told him that as far as any future long term plans he may have that instead of making more major changes, consider restoring it back to '73 specs such as correct tank and seat.
The Kerker exhaust is loud and obnoxious but it does sound sweet, just a little too loud for me though.
