Nice job on both bikes. Do you by any chance have a paint color code for the 76 900 LTD? That looks to be a dead on match to the stock color.

No,I have no code I had to change my tank because of a little accident I had,so I matched it off the old paint.Its real close though,its three stage candy apple red,and the basecoat is a fine gold metallic
