Interesting, are you doing the motor yourself ? . I will have to give my motor a good overhaul and clean it all up, it's caked in hand painted black heat paint about several coats and the chips were never blended in just more pain over the top (not by me ). I got the bike about 25 years ago and just put it to one side as I had some 250's and a 325 and was using a fantic 240 pro so the dirty example of a 340 got pushed to the back of the garage never to see the light of day until now.
