hi
can anyone help me please ??
i have recently acquired a 1976 400/4 it has what i believe is called candy apple red tank with stripe wich i think came out in 1977. i want to make my bike as authentic as possible..the chassis number indicates blue..does anyone have a paint code please..?
was it just the tomato red colour and blue in 75 and 76 in uk ?
Also my bike has a non standard seat but has 440 four on it ..maybe European..think Italian..raised up at back..is this common ..? i have seen pictures of this seat..
