    Lookin good - hey Green - what sort of paint did you use? If I remember correctly you are in Oz - me too - and don't have access to alot of the paint brands/colours referred to on this site.

    I have the same bike - 73 KO - and want to match the original colour - where did you get your fenders?

    Cheers

    It looks super - Im wondering whether the plastic was painted with the metal parts because I can't see a colour difference - thats the look I want too!

    Have a look at what I mean - this was a one owner from new bike - but I never asked him whether he had replaced plastics before because the colour match is not right.

    looking good, It will be great to see the finished product.

    are you sure you can't squeeze a 350x notor in there?

    Everyone who has replied to this thread has a British or Austrailian accent...



    Lol...I would leave that 70 as is, and just re-do the seats and rear wheels/tires. That is a really nice trike.

    I made fender moulds off NOS plastic fenders (red) and made these fenders out of fibreglass. The paint is Imron 2-Pak. I will find out the colour code for you. Its best to paint everything at once so there is no shade differences. With the original frame/fenders, changes happen over time with fading etc. Our severe sunlght wreaks havoc on paint and plastics. I am waiting on a NOS seat and a bit of time to finish off a few small jobs. I will post more images when its done. Thanks for the compliments, by the way.
