Do you think the Cocky's dog ate the back end of the seat ? !! Looks like the finning was black,I cant remember what they were like new,but black would help with cooling out there,here in the UK a blow lamp would help to keep it warm at the moment....
Good luck with the project,will make a nice bike.

I may be a bit biased but the TY175 looks good in all silver - note my avatar. :D

Hello all. If you go to any auto store and they have the large cans of acrylic lacquer spray paint it is Mandarin red ( I can`t remember what brand that one was) or in the small cans, Holts ? it is SNB Tangerine (Rainbow) PJ1055. They are both very close but not exact. Just take your sidcover in with you and match it up. Just be carefull of the flouro`s as they change the colours. Good luck. Bully Fanatic.
