          Sweet looking paint!

          So how'd your friend get the black pinstripes and the white "skunk" stripes so perfect?

            Thanks.
            I think 14 years of practice was how he was able to pull it off so well. :-D
            To tell you the truth, I think the stripes he did on my 550 were actually harder to do.

                    Bruce is right, thats where mine came from. Be aware though: the repro emblems are gold, not silver.

                    I decided to give the gold emblems a chance before I passed judgement on 'em. I'm glad I did, they look way better in gold. (IMO) :-D

                      Agreed. The silver would have washed out to white and looked monochrome on the stripe.

                              You could spend a lot of time just sippin' cold beverages and gawking at those bikes of yours in the garage. That 1000 is a winner, and the 550 is just plain trick.
