Lots of candy green shades out there Bill. The closest match I've found is candy mint green... fwiw.
But no, I don't use rattle cans. There are outfits out there that will custom mix rattle can for you though. Maybe do a search for one of them?

I need the rubber buttons that go on the early side covers. I ordered some a long time ago and now cannot rem where I got them from. I only have two left.

That guy ran out of the bumpers but I found someone else who had the same size but had to order 50. That means I have 25 more bikes to restore.

BowlingSS, I could use a couple of those side cover bumpers, mine are pretty crumbly.

Let me know how much and how to pay and I will send payment.

OOooo! An XJ1100 and three XS650s. What's the 5th?

 

[gggGary]

5th is just a beater parts 72 I sold the guy about 8 years ago.
These are going to need new homes.......................

I suppose the telephone is ringing off the hook on the red special looking new

Have any pictures of the 72?

Getting there on Gary’s 1970. Those new mufflers were the easiest I have ever seen to install. Most of the ones I get the left side never lines up.

 

[mrtwowheel]

Is that horn bracket turned wrong way ?

[Mike G]

That's the way my 74 is mounted.
