I plan on new stickers after I repaint next winter. I'm leaning towards shooting it myself. I'm sure I will be asking a few questions

There is a ding in the tank that happened while it was stored and a few edges are flaking. Looks great in the pics but when you get up close you can see it.

oh and Thanks

That is a fine looking machine. Usually not really big on chrome covers but I must say yours looks REALLY good. Damn fine job; good luck with the paint. What kind of seat is that?

The original owner did all the chrome, I believe he had the dealer do it when he bought the bike. My father bought it from him in 85 and I bought it from my father in 91.

It's a Mustang seat, the company is located in Terryville CT and is still in business (http://www.mustangseats.com/Contact-Us) . I don't believe they carry that model anymore as my father bought it some time in the 80's. Give them a call and ask, I gave them a call a few months back asking them how best to repair a small rip (~ 1/4 inch) and they were very nice to deal with.

That is a GREAT looking bike, but that seat really caught my eye. I love the way it looks. I have a different Bike but when/if i get my seat redone it will definitely be in that style with the buttons (or whatever they are called)
