Ok this is my resto project. Should i keep the same colours or change it? Im thinking black bodywork and frame and everything else polished? Or i could do a carbon fibre look? Or is that too modern? Suggestions please.

Anything but black. Carbon fibre? No.

I think it looks funky in blue / white......

Just my opinion.

Here's mine - classic Honda GP colours ....

Just got to replace that nasty front fender....

Nice bike G-Man thanks for input. I didnt really want to go down the red silver option even though i prefer red. I would just like to make it "different" if you know what i mean.

If you like black, add gold trim and go with the John Player Special look.

Or something like this with a racing number circle to break up the black.
