All this talk of new decals have influenced me to think about having the fenders, tank, toolboxes and sidecovers repainted just so the decals would look nice. |
Bruce,
I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong...but the only way I've
personally ever seen an Eldorado is with the same color for tank fenders
and all other body work and black frame. My V7 was originally red tank
with silver fenders, so your prev owner maybe was trying to emulate this
style? not sure here, but personally I feel 99% sure that you need a
black frame and all other body work to match. Then again, I'm not a
show judge either. Good luck.
