The result when Hans Muth met George Barris (que up the "Munsters" theme) . . . :D The blurb says the paint is new, and those pipes on the plug wires are apparently "cable oilers". What does lubing a plug wire do?

For what it's worth both my runner '76 R75/6 and my parts '76 R75/6 have got the "flat" emblems on their gas tanks. The parts bike has been painted, I think, but the runner is original.

Perhaps the "flat" emblems showed up at approximately the '76 model year?

I usually prefer Daytona orange, or bloodclot, but, I think this would look look its best in silver smoke. At least, that's the color that would fit in best with the Batmobile tie-in.
