I am the owner of a 1981 650. It seems to be in go shape and runs fine. The only issue I have is with the appearance of the fuel tank and I plan painting it. I have two questions right now but I am certain there will be more to follow.
1) What is the best or preferred method of removing the old paint? Sand paper and elbow grease, chemical paint remover, blasting with some sort of media?
2) After perusing this site for a similar factory color I came up "ruby red" but I am not sure how that would translate to an actual order at the paint supply house. Any idea's not a specific color for ordering?
