i purchased model airplane paint from Michaels and Hobby Lobby to match the old color on the switch. it looks like one is a lime green and the other a bright orange. this week i will repaint the green

Re: Repairing paint on throttle
If one is green and one is orange they are from different bikes. As someone said earlier the green is from later years.

Paint looks great!
You picked correctly. Both of yours are later '78-'79.
Don't know if there's a reference elsewhere, but here's a few pics...

Heck, I didn't even know they came in green. Or if I did ever know, I forgot.
