Title: XR75 Frame Color Problem
Post by: runutz698 on October 02, 2008, 01:49:39 pm

ok Guys,

 if you were getting a 1977 XR75 frame and swingarm powder coated what color would you do it as I have 2 frames and 3 swing arms they all look to be orginal, But some of the plastics seem to be more cherry red than signal red and same with the frame colors seem to be a mix of signal red and cherry sort of red. What are they spose to be I am thinking orginaly they were more of a cherry red.

Cheers
Tom

have a panel beater supply company match the original colour, or better still have a painter colour match the original colour and have him paint it in a quality 2pac paint

Runutz698,

I tried to post a picture of my bike showing the swingarm bolt and exhaust mount but the file was too big to post so I've sent it to your normal email address.
