[QUOTE="69ST, post: 174831, member: 5"] Kinda makes you wonder why we never got a white CT70 model in North America...instead of seven years of red (with a name change). Those white-painted wheels, of the `90s models, would have looked good paired with a white frame. This bike has more visual appeal than the sought-after "Lady Dax/White Dax". Very effective use of color contrast.(y) FWIW, I agree with you...that seat would be a really nice "grace note", one of those subtle details that doesn't call attention to itself but adds to the overall impression. It also fits the theme you've created, i.e. white background with those brightly-hued `78 tank stripes & red sidebadges. In that same vein, thin red pinstripes on the rim shoulders (the outermost portion that sits above the bead seats) would really make the all-black wheel assemblies pop. (Just thinking out loud.)
