I'd leave the radiator fines on and just paint them green, the engine guards and engine mount should be blacked out. Then ride it, looks good and makes me want to grab some ol green an spray away.

That is a very unusual seat, I don't think I've ever seen one like that before. Any details about it? I like the olive drab look but you are correct chrome doesn't go with it well.



Seat is a Mayer/Russel saddle.

I've never seen a massive fork brace as this one ever.

Good looking bike! I really like it, but then I've always been a bit partial to olive green. My brother-in-law's 82 Aspencade has an even thicker heavier fork brace. I tried to trade him out of it, but no dice.

I totally dig that 2012 Steve McQueen tribute bike. I saw that and the Triumph Scrambler at the Cleveland Motorcycle
show last winter. They were painted nearly the same. If I had the 10 grand, I'd plop it down on the McQueen for sure.
