Things are moving swimmingly along and I am now pondering on what color to repaint 'er... Just the tank and side covers, I think chrome fenders or alloy (or stainless) really set a vintage Japbike off.

One choice (my favorite) is the Goodwood Green and Aztec Gold scheme from the 2004 Bonneville seen here:

Other thoughts:

Hunter Green

Not sure what the color is called, but I just got a set of matching side covers off of a 79 XS400F (I believe, just has the "xs400" insignia without 'special' or 'heritage' or anything like that) and they are a deep metallic blue that looks almost black from a distance

Some sort of metallic black with gold trim

Opinions? Other suggestions? If you have anything, post a pic with it.

is it a standard bike or modified?

Somewhat modified. No cafe racer or bobber or anything like that, but not 100% Yamaha, either.

why not the green and white but the white in yellow to white flip tones. that would be cool?
