Striping width and design for 900 ss replica

Post by vsromano »

I"m building one of three 1974 900ss replicas and am trying to
get the striping correct {complete info} to start the painting of the body
parts. I would appreciate any help. I've done plenty of restorations
but not on motorcycle. I'm going to post some pics as soon as I figure
out how to post them. Thanks for all your help
