    It was time to rebuild the petcock and I decided to take the opportunity to swap out tanks so I can start prepping the Blue one for paint.

    Installed some new RC31 decals after having to do some work on the tail section. It is actually silver but a little lighter than I was expecting. Added a red outlined silver HONDA above the taillight too.

    The graphics are a little ahead of the game on the grand scheme, but they were cheap and I wanted to do some testing. The red is meant to key off of the shock. HONDA on the front and did a red accent on the headlight ring to bring a little more red to the front.

    The tank (and rest of the bike eventually) will be a dark silver with a charcoal HONDA and Wing outlined in red. Same with the rest of the graphics, charcoal - red outline. If/when the bike gets torn down for a full resto, the engine will be blacked out with red valve covers.

    Yep, nice. With blacked out crankcases, cylinders and heads, charcoal metallic crankcase covers.
