Primerose & burlewood... did I overdo it???

...for a 400ES??
I know that "wood does not belong on a bike", yada yada, but I like the idea!!!



oil tank and side cover are painted same color... now it will be time to really get working on the bike! I must dumb...I always like to have first the body painted and then do the rest of the bike: it, kind of, give me a goal to finish it; I have a few un-finished project (Yankee 500 and now XS650) where I started working on the engine or the electricity and nothing is happening... Do I need to see a doctor?

Sounds like you need to see a mechanic !!, and farm out a few bits.

As more than a few have said -" I was only the project manager " - paint went to a paint specialist, speedo went to a speedo specialist, wheels to a wheel specialist, seat to a seat specialist, carburettors to a carbie specialst, yada yada yada....

Imagine what modern bikes are going to be like, plastics etc, and with all those electronic bits...?

I like it. It's a cool color that fits the time period.

As far as a doctor, you don't need one. You will finish the more important bike; the Norton. Youve just set your priorities.

+1 on the color, I like it.

You know, you made me rethink me paint scheme on mine. It looks great.
