can anyone post an upclose pic of the pinstriping on the 1980 Z1R?

i'm not sure, but it looks like a soft gold/reddish brown double pinstripe.

FYI, the gold stripe on my bike above is 1/8th inch wide. the gold stripe on the Z1R is 1/16th inch.

Those look like the right colors. I have a '80 z1r that I am fixing up.

Now the tank and side cover pin stripping has the gold on the outside and the red on the inside. While the seat rails and tail fender have the gold on bottom with the red on top.

I was thinking of not pin stripping the bike after I paint it this winter. Not sure yet though, gotta see what it looks like after the paint is dry.
