    yeah the blue head with the bare fin ends looks real trick and stylish, not too much.......the yellow was just too out there if you ask me ;)

    where did you get those engine casing protectors - I want some of those ?

    Okay, I'm torn on the engine guards. Would love to see some pictures outside. In your shop lighting the guards are getting lost being close to the same color as the cases. Maybe best to stick with the blue.

    What colors are you going to use on the side panels? That may help dictate how much blue or yellow you use elsewhere.

    The side panels will have the yellow and blue stripe like original. Except where Cr 250 is, going to say Husqvarna
    Then there will be couple of blue dashes towards front of plates, yellow and blue accents heading to number plate area.
    Number area is white, black numbers, like these:

    Yes, you guys on money! Can't see the guards cause they blend in with engine.

    Here is shot in just blue and yellow!

    Remember, the blue and yellow are not a matched color. Just gives you idea of the colors?

    You know, you need to stop this build, finish all of your other bikes first so we are not all let down with anti-climactic stock rebuilds! (Unless you plan on going berserk on those as well :-))

    Ha! Yeah, those are going to be boring. I don't know? Kinda been rethinking the 82 Cr 250?

    Might have to swing around and do some neat stuff to it!

    Can't wait to get graphics on and wheels laced up.

    I like the blue/blue combo and the head blue with the edges silver. Beautiful work you're doing there. I've got my Ducati 851 in pieces that could use the same going over. I too am struggling with colors and ideas but your work is helping me decide too.

    Thanx! Nice Ducati u have there! Yeah, it's tough sometimes trying to figure out color schemes.

    That's why thank you guys for imput.
