Metal Flake Red- What do you think????

Just had a bodywork set delivered back from the paint shop- gas tank, side covers and front and rear fenders.
They are for my CSR650 but will also fit my KZ750's if I want.
Just wondered what you guys thought of the colour, it is metal flake and sparkles in the sunlight!
More pictures when fitted to bike.
Cost a lot of cash but is so much better than I could have achieved with a rattle can.

Hey Geoff the paint looks good and I hate to be the one to tell you this but an 81 650 CSR tank will not work on a 750 LTD. You are going to run into issues due to the fact that the 81 650 used VM series carbs and the 750 uses CV carbs. The location of the petcock is different and if you try to mount the 650 tank on the 750 it will interfere. This is a one year thing, the 82 and 83 650 tanks will work since they came with CV carbs. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. :(

Hi Andy
Thanks for the info.
It is no big deal that the tank won't fit the 750, it was just something that I thought about after I decided to have the bodywork painted. I guess that once everything is fitted to the CSR I would leave it on there anyway.
Hope all is good with you.
