Thank you, CJ. I wanted to do it in metallic or metalflake blue, since I think that is the prettiest color ever painted on a Norton, but there are quite a few like that. I remembered the first one I ever saw and it was gold metalflake. I was about 16 and walked into the workshop area of the old St. Louis Honda with my then brother-in-law. I asked him, "What the hell is a Norton?" having never heard of one before. He said it was "the shop mechanic's bike and he wouldn't own a Honda if you gave it to him". :lol: I think the 305 was about the biggest one they made at the time.
