The whole
motorcycle left side. All of the bike has been covered with a
drying, industrial quality rust protective oil, to stop surface rust
from increasing and protect the remaining paintwork. |
|
The bike is as found, dents and all. The double
pinstriping is 1.8mm-2.2mm wide, runs some places as close as 2.5 mm
apart and other places with 3.3mm distance. Click the picture to get
more details on the front fender |

The motorcycle front fender left side. There
are three double rows of narrow gold stripes along the front
fenders. These stripes are approximately 2 mm wide and spaced approx
2.8mm apart. |
|
The stripes along the edges of fenders and side
skirts are probably meant to run some 3/8" from the edge. In reality
the distance somewhere is as small as 8 mm and in other places as
large as 11.5mm |

The tank really is ivory with red side panels.
The panels are decorated with gold leaf tincture lines applied with
a brush.

This picture of the insides also show
a repairing method I prefer, opening it up at the inside to repair
from the inside with a soldering iron - gentle heat, no damage to
the outside. |

The distance between the parallel stripes in
the "vee" on top of the rear of the tank are 11 mm to 11.7mm, maybe
meant to be 7/16"? |
|
The four stripes vary between 6.5mm as the
narrowest and at some places they are as much as 9.5mm wide, Maybe
they were meant to be 5/16" |

Lines on the rear fender and the chain guard
follows the same widths and spacings as on the front fender. |

At the opening rear part of the rear fender the
lines cross the split and continue "unbroken" on the other part. |
