Is the green bodywork with the stickers the "before" picture or the "after" picture?

I like it, the green is racy with the hot rod stickers. I know you can't wait to get it on the road.

Sorry but no. If you have the light on/off switch from the 77 it can be put into an newer hand control. I just did that on a set of controls for my 77.

Ok the 650 has spent 2 month's in the back of the garage, now its all dusty, oh well it gives me an excuse to wash and wax herB) . I put the tank, side covers, and tail on it looks awsome. But, wouldn't ya know it my digital camera is dead. So ill shoot some pics tommorow. I still have a few last minute thing's to button up, put on the headlight, carbs, and mount the taillight.
