I don't think I would have painted it. In fact I know I wouldn't have painted it. As long as the pics do reflect the condition of the original paint. I know sometimes pictures can be deceiving. Now that being said I do like the green paint job and it is your bike. I wouldn't do any more green to her tho. I think I would have done some minimum pin striping just to emphasis the lines. Other than that nice looking bike. Ya can't please everyone so just please yourself.
Take it from me cuz I found
If you leave it then somebody else is bound,
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure,
When yours, it could have been.

where's that thread? :laugh:

I like the green and I like the original blue. Not a fan of those big ass seats though...or mags. I think the green would look awesome with spoke wheels!

No way! There is NO comparison in someone cutting up that beautiful rare Rickman and this repaint. No way not even close.
