Did anyone ever decide on an excact colour match for the 240 frame colour? If so what did you use?

cheers s.m.

I use Fiat Racing Red, seems pretty close.

I found by chance , that plastic coat spray enamal #347 fire red

matches perfectly to the unfaded places left on my 83 240 , and it is cheap !!!

With a little scotch brite and comet prep work you can't even see the blend !

But now that mine runs again , engine comes out and she get's new swingarm bearings and brake shoes and the upper shock mounts welded where they are starting to crack from my extra girth.... and modern footpegs a little further back and maybe a 26mm mikuni still thinking about that....

But I still want a new source coil for my ign. cause she runs but her spark is nothing to call mom and tell her about. Should I drain hole the case ? Cause every time I take it apart there is some serious corrosion going on in there !!! This time it is tight enough that it holds air presure blown in the vent pipe and all internals got a spray with WD40 before the cover went on ..

Boy I wish the ign. on these was in a oil bath like some other bikes...

Rusty flywheels are a pain in the a** ...But it was good to ride her again for a bit..............
