Im tempted. was created by JWKZ750
I got the "cafe racer" thing out of my system with my first bike. These days I like to keep my bikes stock. But I saw this bike for sale (the yellow 900) and it got me thinking. Maybe I should paint my 77 a different color. Any suggestions?

Bike that swayed me:

Personally I love it........ Painted my spare body set yellow for a while but went back to the stock blue as they need touching up and a good clear coating...... always planned on a yellow 57 Chevy like Project X but I would need to hit the lotto now.

Seriously, if the original paint is in good shape I would not recommend painting it. Instead, you might want to buy a second set of tins and paint them. That way you could switch back if you like or get a better price for the bike one day if you sell it. Good original paint is becoming quite rare. Ed
