Just picked this up in a trade last weekend. Got the light working tonight, cleaned up pretty nice I think. Half of the tank is on the way, still searching for the left half if anyone has one. BF Goodrich badged with original BF Goodrich tires :D

Hey Dogdart,

Is that Hornet of yours Blue original paint?

If it is and you let it go let me know.

Good luck! I love discovering nice old paint under a nasty repaint!
 
For sure if it's there it's worth a try to bring it out !
 
Got the left half of the tank today! I'll paint it and knock it back to match the rest of the bike soon.
