Checked the CDI today and got that Buzz sound. Held my breath and Voila SPARK ;D and the headlight works. Pulled the main baffle out for the lower muffler and what a chore that was. Just starting to separate..minor fix..I have the 2 small baffles now and just located the hard to find end pieces..

Never seen a yellow one before. Mine was blue and white when I got it. It's not now. If I (finally) get it done, I'll bring it in Sept with the H1.

Funny when my bud showed me the pic I said I had never seen a yellow A1 or A7. Thought maybe they had painted it..wrong..lol Here is Gords old 70 A1 tank painted blue BUT red underneath. It's going to be pastel yellow , now need to try and match the paint.

Hey Ian, if there is a Napa store near you, they can match any paint, its a little more expensive but they can put it in a spray can as well...
