I'll definitely update the thread. I know I'm not the only one out there with this particular bike and surely at some point somebody else will be looking for this same info.Ok great! Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for that or send me a message if you remember please. In the meantime I may even send Kalvin my tank crotch piece to try n find a better match. Fingers crossed for both of us!
I bought this bike specifically because it was the 10th Anniversary model. Had one back in my younger days and always loved it. I was sick when I crunched the tank, and frankly I don't care what I have to spend to match the paint. If I have to, I'll take it to somebody who can do a custom match, but if I can find the right colors I can borrow my buddy's shop and do it myself. Already have the correct stripe kit in my possession.
) the first thing I did was pull the engine. Had it on a motorcycle jack, un strapped, and carefully pulled it away from the frame. It needed one last tug to get over the uneven crack in the concrete floor and of course the engine tipped over, fell off and cracked open the custom chromed valve cover like an egg... and they only made ~2000 of the valve covers!!! I made a leak proof eye sore of a repair and did find another valve cover with the right batch stamp and numbers on it but I still cringe when I see it. Lol. I'm determined to find the right paint too. Fingers crossed for both of us!
