So did it suit the bike having them colour coded? Seems weird that people haven't done that more.

For instance, my CB1300 had black unpainted panels up to 2008, in 2009 they colour coded them and the difference in how the bike looked was amazing. Mine are colour coded as standard and why others haven't copied the look mystifies me.

£480 is a decent price for that quality of work. When you say badges, did he restore/repaint the badges or supply new ones? Are stripes painted or did he use his own decals? If painted he did an outstanding job of them.

£480 seems like a bargain if they are as good as they look in the photo.

Codes I gave him I sourced from an American site were of no use as likely just part numbers I don’t think Honda gave codes in the seventies? He had the original tank to get a color match and I went with a stronger metal flake than original side panels he matched to originals
