    I would offer $1500 cash, get a used head and rebuild the engine ... get it painted Rothmans colors ... clean it up and ride it 'till I die. It would be a one year project so it would be on the road April of 2027. Unfortunately it's too far away.

    How do so many people fuck up the stripes so spectacularly when the original lines were there in the first place. God that is one big FAIL.

    You are so right ! Its because no one takes the time to take measurements or make templates. In the cases when're the bike wasn't in the original colours when it was acquired, no one takes the time to look closely at OEM photos or have someone with an original take measurements for them.

    Its not hard, its pure laziness --- JMHO of course
