Thanks for that Dave - that was the colour that I was considering - looks nice and is a pretty close match to the original.
There's a lot of hoo-haa about paints and what's right/wrong but as long as you're happy that's the main thing.
You could line up a few examples of paint which are close matches against the OEM colour and each of them would look "correct" in various lighting conditions and notso "correct" in others.
Once again though a top resto job - I'm hoping to have my bike mobile by March next year.
Will post some more pics as it progresses.
BTW Shane P showed me a clip of the bike (with black livery) running, with the shorty mega - sounds pretty crisp!
Think I'll go with the full SS Delkevik zorst - quite like the look of the Marving one but not happy with the painted/unchromed area
of the pipes near the collector - apparently this welded area is not able to be chromed (dunno why?) Anyway, the SS saves a lot of weight and is more durable.
