Ha, I knew it! Jim will do a beautiful job.
Confucius say... girl who fly upside down in airplane.... have crack-up..... and for my next prediction.... Confucius say man who walk through turnstile sideways going to Bangkok.
Well Bob, you are fortunate to have a fellow like Jim on call. His standards and skills are up there with your own and the finished product will, undoubtedly reflect that.
I would still apply the decals in white or see if Jim can mask and paint them. The XS2 tank is an iconic signature of the model and I fear you may regret not restoring it to its former glory - even it is is only vinyl.
Good luck mate!
And No i don't have a preference. Just get it on the road ........that ride thread isn't getting enough use

Yeah, we saw that last night. Paint's kinda rough on that bike, but it does let you see what an XS2 looks like in single color candy red. I like it.Bob, this was just posted in the classifieds. It’s what yours will look like without the white.

No shame from me! Sometimes the only logical choice is to outsource. I can tell you that I will NEVER try to mount a tire myself again. Won't do it. Any wheels of mine are going to the nice man at the local bike shop who takes my money and says it will be done by the end of the day.Now this is where the purists are going to howl.
Yes, Jims Special is a real looker!red. I like it.
Of course, I'm a little biased...
