Paint job by the previous owners previous owner.
Its got nicks and scratches but has been maintained and runs and drives well.
Its my first bike just picked it up Sunday.
Don't be surprised if its flaked silver over a silver base coat someday.

Looks good. Whereabouts are you located? I seem to recall seeing a yellow 450 like this on craigslist somewhere recently...

Get a windshield for it. Even if it is only a little sport windsheild that bolts to the headlight, it makes all the difference. It'll take half the wind off your chest.

I'm in Las Vegas. The previous owner was in Arizona, he did have it on craigslist and ebay.
Just got back from registering it.

I'm a kustom painter and airbrush artist.
So whatever I do won't be factory but tasteful none the less.
