I was going to say neither. Wrangler...too niche and Mars Bar colours makes an LC too black. However Tim's design is bang on perfect.

I know what you mean Dusty and I did consider that but I quite like the little gold accent detail as the bike will have other small gold details and it would tie it all in
I also like the Akai reference as I like the throwback reference
I may use the gold Yamaha above the line and maybe a small liquid cooled on the side panels
Could also lose the Yamaha on the tail but replace with a YPVS as it will be valve engined

I really like that š Still think I'll add the gold Yamaha on the tank and maybe just RD LC on the side panel Don't want an engine size on it as probably going 250 but have a 350 option as well Steve

I honestly donāt mind anymore however when I first did it and saw the first copies I was a little put out. Think of it as a real testament to your good taste.

I'd go Wrangler. I saw a new LC with the Wrangler paint scheme at Mott's Motorcycles in Hants, takes me back.
Great looking in the flesh, especially for a hybrid.

I hope UPS don't f*ck up and it goes missing. Maybe you want to stick an Apple Air Tag in the box to keep tabs on it.
