yeah. im more of a fan of bright colors. im thinking a "general lee" dirt bike :P

or maybe something like black and silver.... though i would really love to keep the vintage look to it. something period specific i guess.... the original color was kind of a rusty red with dull yellow stripes. there is still paint under the gas tank :P

if you do sand the forks get some really high grit sand paper like 1000 grit to polish it

how does the inside of the tank look?
