C'mon - where are the photos???:confused1:
I'm looking for a few ideas for my old ('84) XT600 Tenere.
I'm giving it a bit of a face lift to bring it kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
I'm thinking of going for a dark grey metallic/black with carbon style decals to give a bit of a stealthy look.
An alternative would be a military style paint job (desert style camo) or would that be a prob in certain parts of the World???
