new tires and paint for the Big red

[longbedGTs]

Ive been working on this for the past few days. The 'Red got some OEM Dunlops(KT 325) along with new fork boots, brakes, and paint. I think it looks damn good! :drool:
Next order of business is a new front rack, handlegrips, and to straighten the handlebars(you can tell their bent slightly looking at the 'head on' pic), and she'll be good as new...or almost. :w00t:
First pic is when I got it about 1 1/2 yrs ago.

She's obviously clean enough to display in your living room, which seems to be what you're doing :lol:

Looking good. What kind/color paint is that you used on the wheels? - looks close to factory.

Yeah, its a good conversation piece. Main reason its inside is I dont have a shed big enough for the trikes and the lawnmower. Im still looking for a mint un-restored 84 BR to take its place so the 83 can go back to a rider.
Tim, the paint is Duplicolor T178 Silver from Advance Auto.

Nice Work! I would be proud of that machine too! I hope my 185s restoration comes out looking that clean. How's she ride?

Nice job! Mine needs that, it has the same barn kept rusty wheels and lower forks. So when can I send mine down so you can have it ready for spring riding:D .
