    I will likely use this cam chain tensioner body right on the bike but the thing to do is keep an eye out for some engine part on E-bay that has little value in the open market. I originally bough a NOS crankcase vent cover for 5 bucks but it got lost in the mail. Something like that would be good for color matching. In any case once I have my engine done this winter i will get the paint mixing code and will have that to share with others.

      Here is an example of a NOS engine part that will not likely be in big demand that if won will give you the true factory color for paint mixing / matching
      It is a NOS filter bowl

        Perfect! Ive been looking at a NOS side cover also to match the macho maroon paint. Although I'm a ways away from painting the tank and covers.
        Thanks for the tip!
