I'm in the middle of crossroads.. Am about to chose which colour to apply for my CB77. There are plenty of black Superhawks around... So black is out from the list... thinking of white - though hardly any CB77 in white (??) - Red is nice as well as Blue... Hmmmm...
Can anyone gimme some suggestions???
Thanks
Josh

Josh-I don't know if its still this way but in the early 1960's in Japan it was illegal to have a white motorcycle, that color was only on police bikes. So knowing this , I would say there are less white CB's than any other color and a white CB does look good. CliffC

I saw a picture of a black and red superhawk not too long again. May have been on here in fact. I liked the look a lot. I think that the tank and side covers were red, frame and fenders were black. Obviously not a factory color scheme, but it looked good.

Josh, I personally think white just doe not work for the Superhwks! I've done two in black and silver, and will probably do a red one next. The red looks awsome. Ive done my cafe' bike in red and black, and it looks awsome.
