Alas thy Prince, Lord Beer be without said wench, however given my previous poor choice and severe lack of judgement (judgement which if applied to garage activities would have my status as garage god revoked), I am strangely happier and vastly more content, of course there there be many who have chosen wisely and I salute those who have.
With regards to the bike, I did ask if he wanted to swap his side panels with mine as they are in better condition, but alas no, so of course I'm on the hunt, anyone hint hint 😁

If they are complete with all lugs then I may be able to assist. I do owe you one. I have been known to hurl some paint about....hint noted...👍 Let me know what is needed. Some pictures perhaps. |

Unless I am mistaken, the decals on tail and side panels are stuck on after painting. If you can ask a local vehicle paint supplier to match your tank colour (candy B red) then I would be happy to paint all three. You would need new decals, but you would need to stick them on or send them with the bits and I will do it. If I did them then I could clear coat over them for better protection. All open to change or direction.

Most kind sir duffer, I'm sure I seen a company online selling the correct paint, and many moons ago a company selling complete decal sets, but cannot find them at the moment, can any forum members assist?

Shade cards are a good idea as the colour match can be tricky...Unless....we go mad and do the tank too.

Try contacting Imageworks Lord Beer. Send an email to Graham Talkes at this email explaining what you need : sales@the-image-works.co.uk You require the orange and red and cream set of these basically. I could once supply very nice copies but the venture got put on ice as it were. I think Imageworks are the best bet at the minute. Not 100% exact copies but I think they have made some very happy customers of late. P.S - John may also be able to help, just remembered he's really getting into decals too now.  |

Yes, Imageworks, Thank thee Prince Comstar for thy knowledge, Lord Beers mind is full of many things and as such some details disappear, of course thy establishments selling fine ales are not forgotten, my beer Hall requires plentiful supplies, this may contribute to thy shaky memory, but this is where fine forum members rally round to assist 😁

Fine painting skills Sir Duffer, moving forward on thy side panels I am looking for a set of replacement panels which if thy good self is in agreement shall be supplied with paint and decals so as to keep the ones I have at the moment as spares, also let's me keep the bike on the road. As a thought if replacements are not forthcoming what say you to a complete paint job on all panels and tank over next winter, of course this is serious work and as such my glorious birdmen and I will compensate thee for thy great efforts.

Side panels are a good start, and a full set is best as colour matches are a problem. The originals are all now 40 years rough, so impossible to match. I will keep an eye out for the plastics too, then we just have to find a way to ship the tank. You will then have a conundrum....sell your old bits or keep for spare 🤔
I am not requiring beer tokens. Always best to trade talents 👍
