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

We are reinforcing the frames in stress points cutting off rear
seat support and rebending to fit 900ss rear fender all from 860.
machine mount on front fork neck to support fairing,fiberglass
reproduction body parts are just some of the modifications. I posted
a couple of pictures on xs.to picture site that Steve sent me
