Mine turn a bit blue and they are the originals.

Oh well, can't have everything but I'm quite pleased with the way the bike has turned out generally. Not too showy and obviously used.

Looking great Bob!

Personally, I prefer bikes (and cars) to look their age and to have lived a life (unless restoration/replacement is the only option) - my K1, which is original, has got a few scuffs here and there and I like it that way. I had the paintset done by Menno as the paint was way past its best, but decided to keep the original tank trim which has a few cracks and dents but fits perfectly.

The plus side to this approach is that I don't get too precious about things

Thanks mate! Whenever I got a new bike it was always a great relief when I either dropped it or marked something, (not deliberately of course), but that meant I could stop worrying and just use it. :P
