Re: Tora! Tora! Tora!

very nice, makotosun; love dat good home-engineering problem-solving. Repeated bit of yellow to pick up the tank color works, too.

Never used to like yellow. Then I saw a very old, well-worn but mechanically-rebuilt 2 stroke for sale at a local shop. Had a top (motorcycle mount) tank the same deep yellow as yours, the rest being scuffed black, also showing the patina of vigorous use. Looked like a Killer Bee. Bit steep: $800. Thought about it a while; went back; sold.
Then it was stolen from the guy who bought it two weeks later.
