So there were no red tank/toolboxes/sidecovers/fenders? I was wanting
to do mine red/white, but I thought it was a non-standard scheme and Kim
told me it was too "Elvis". Of course, that's the whole loopframe
thing, isn't it? Now I can tell her I am just trying to keep it
original!

Ambo/Eldos were produced in three color combinations:
All White with black/red pinstripes
All Black with white pinstripes
Metallic Red tank, toolboxes and sidecovers with white fenders. White
pinstripes on red, red pinstripes on white.
I hope that clears things up.

All this talk of new decals have influenced me to think
about having
 the fenders, tank, toolboxes and sidecovers repainted just so the
decals
 would look nice.


Bruce,
I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong...but the only way I've
personally ever seen an Eldorado is with the same color for tank
fenders
and all other body work and black frame. My V7 was originally red
tank
with silver fenders, so your prev owner maybe was trying to emulate
this
style? not sure here, but personally I feel 99% sure that you need a

black frame and all other body work to match. Then again, I'm not a

show judge either. Good luck.
