If you have a BASF/Glasurit dealer, here are the three codes I used. The yellow matches the nice shiny aftermarket fenders and side panels available from companies such as vintage-suzuki.

Yellow CMS 6169A
Orange CMS 7036A
Red CMS 8081A

No!! But that's exactly what it usually turns out to be when doing a tank like that. Lots of time and a good chunk of material expense.

Newmann,

I realize that Joe is a very busy man, is not trying to sell anything here and certainly does not need me to advertise for him. BUT, the pic does not do Joe's work justice. The two that he did for me are perfect. So perfect in fact, that I hesitate to use the damned thing!!!! If those are the colors that he used on mine, trust the man and buy the stuff, LOL.

Let's see some more photos of this when it's all done. Looks like it might be as nice as Dave Miller's RM/RH

I had that same bike in a 250....right down to the front fender. Same plates and all, except mine had a Fox tank cover.

Very nice!

Nicely done, Kenny.

Anyone want a Fox project? Check the swapmeet section here: http://www.honda-elsinore.com/

E-mailed him, seems like a cool dude on the central coast, and the stuff looks clean. Offers in up to $6K. I don't need two, but glad to hear it.
