Hey Rick!   Never pin striped the tank!  And not done all that correct.

As they say, all you need is two bidders to who want something.  I think in 2012 that was worth around $4000.  I wonder if it ran?

And , I have to wonder why they left that rusty cover plate on the motor . At least it looks rusty .

Rick ,

 Is that the color you painted your latest ?

Very close. I used an off the shelf Kirker paint.  Merlot solid color, single stage urethane.  I bought a 1 gallon kit, plenty to paint 2 bikes.

I asked because the Barrett bike looks a lot closer to Maroon , at least on my screen , than your bike .

But , maybe the difference is sunlight and different cameras ???

On my screen , I like your color better , being a bit more earthy .
