        Why do you think that he has been looking for three under seat pans?

          This might be a good lead, thank you. As mentioned Reproduction Decal only carries the black E and maroon C model stripe kits. I'm having a devil of a time finding the correct blue stripe for Steve's bike. I could match the color in paint if I could find a good close up shot of the stripe.

                  Larry,

                  The light blue 78 stripe is the same color as the small stripe on the 79. The paint codes are the same

                  RD has that 79 stripe color, they just need to make a bigger stripe for the 78

                    Really..? Cool. I'll give them a call next week and talk to them about that. They told me earlier in the week that if they could get an example of the color they could just change it in the printing process for the white stripe they use for a skunk. I'm thinking the lady I talked to was unaware (as I was) that the same color was used on both year's stripe designs.

                    Thanks.
