Green, Green, Brown, Brown, Brown.
That's the biggest shell allowance for the crankcase coding, A can only have had Yellow or Green from the factory, B can only have had Green or Brown. So chose the thickest of the 2 colours available and run it in carefully.

Thanks Ken I've just parceled up my forks for Philpots - courier collect on Thursday as I'm not at home all day until then.
Awaiting price for frame powder coating - I quite fancy dark brown or gloss black.
Laverdaroo:
BROWN...................are you sure? :o
Oddjob:
You do realise that if you go with brown you'll have people saying that's a really shit colour mate ;D ;D ;D And they'd be right.
I've seen a couple of frames when going to pick my bits up from the powder coaters, one was Candy Blue and the other was Candy Purple like the old Fords, Aubergine I think it was called. Utterly stunning the pair of them, I was gobsmakced by how nice the blue one was, I even convinced myself to have mine done in that colour it was so nice. However it wouldn't suit the rest of the paintwork so I talked myself out of it.
I'm seriously considering having the 1300 frame done in Candy Apple Red, they did a model with a post office red frame in 2007, always liked it. Plus my 1300 is Pearlescent white with Candy red inserts so it would go really well with it.

£51.52 from Fowlers Ted. £48 if you can find a Kwack dealer to order one for you and you pick it up. I got mine to order me 3 so the petrol cost was split 3 ways, 15 miles there and 15 back and went on my 1300 so less than a gallon used.
