More Seeley progress- stop me if I'm boring you

[Eyeguy]

Sort of back together, temporarily, at least. Although the rest of the bike has been repainted, it looks like the tank paint is original. I found the original receipt amongst the paperwork and it was supplied in yellow. As Mr Seeley was wont to do, the tank logo is sign written, NOT a transfer

I had thought about repainting it in a sort-of Gulf Porsche colour scheme, pale blue and orange. But I now have a dilemma. I like originality wherever possible, so do I leave the tank as found and redo the rest, properly ( i.e. no stick-on pinstripes!)

If its becoming boring, please say and I'll stop and maybe stick a couple of pics up when its all finished.

Rule one on this forum, it's YOUR bike, your choice as to how it looks. If you plan on keeping it and enjoying it, paint it any colour you like, if you plan to sell it on to make a quick profit, keep it standard!

Looks terrific, that's going to be a stunner when it's done.

[Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP)]

No way I am knocking the yellow if thats what you think.The bike suits the colour as well as the f1 did.
All the best

Yellow gets my vote as well, keep the posts and pictures coming

thanks for the input, everyone. Had visits from Marvo and Fryerk today, both of whom thought it should be kept yellow. Yellow it is, then!

Yellow looks good .....

Yellow grows on you 

If you get a chance to take pictures of fairing mountings, would be interested to see, as considering fitting one to my cafe racer CB750F1

[Eyeguy]

I'd be happy to, Martin, or pop up and see it, I'm only twenty minutes away from you. Now you mention it, I bought a set of Jota bars and a nose fairing for my abortive (now unnecessary) F2 cafe project, I really must find and sell them!

IT ONLY BLOODY WORKS!

Started it up just now, on the bench. Five year old petrol, started on the button. I'd forgotten how nice it is to work on a Honda, everything fits and it all works.

Off the bench and outside on Sunday
