What colour are we thinking? Pops purple or candy orange?

Original P stamp - stunning...

I commend you for the extremely high quality of work and detail obsession, all excellent. Personally, though, I prefer to retain parts that show they have lived a life as long as they are perfectly functional, like you cables, and could easily have lived with two crome caps to seal off the holes in the new fender. Less resources and money spent, and also a way to prevent myself from crying after the first scratch appears. But there is no denying your bike is beautiful due to the detail work you're doing.

Both colors are stunners. The way I work, usually to my own demise, would be to keep this one gold and use all the seconds parts to assemble another bike with the purple tins. Excellent work!

For me it's the pops every day. That colour reminds me of my 75 N FS1-E with YB100 engine.

The orange is the winner for me. We trashed so many fizzy's when we were teenagers. If only you could turn back the clock. Beautiful machine.
