Bike looks great. Have you seen the youtube videos for refinishing the plastic tanks. You take a razor blade and scrape off all the dried/oxidized top layer to get at the fresh plastic, then wet sand it for a while and lastly take a heat gun to it. The heat gun brings out the glossy finish. I just did a 81 YZ 465 tank and it worked amazingly well. Original tank. I have an IT 490 that I am working on too. The tank was almost white with oxidized plastic or whatever it is. It came out real nice. Those blue tanks take on a greenish color and sometimes are hard to get back to the original blue. I like those tank covers as they match the blue good...
