The forks and carbs don't quite match, but the rest of it looks GREAT.
Just to be sure my monitor is not playing tricks on me, what is that color called?
It looks somewhat "peachy", not quite "coral".

The carbs are high heat VHT orange paint. The forks are powdered coated and the body paint is the Jeep orange crush there abouts. I wanted some contrast in colors, not extreme though to my liken. Out in the sun light the paint really pops.Originally posted by Steve View PostThe forks and carbs don't quite match, but the rest of it looks GREAT.

Looks terrific! However, a bike that orange really needs a nickname. How about The Screwdriver?
