That's just a shadow. Although when I look at it in the avatar I think it would look quite good in black. It would be hard to get a nice edge though.

My bike was one of those that wasn't sold new until 1990 and it started it's life in Italy (or so I was told) It is not a U.S spec one so far as I know.

The code on the head stock is ZDM750p*75467*
DGM520 55 OM
So according to J.S

I think that works back to a production year of 89. So one of the later ones.

Yes Mike. For me that look is the ultimate. The stainless staintunes the paint job and the seat. Magic looking bike. a fine example. I have a photos of yours saved to my comp.
While we're on it has anyone done something about the areas on the rims where the clear coat is cracking? your rims look real good. Mine look real good to for the first 100km of a ride.

...I'm always a little bit envious for the friends who has a wife who allows them to keep the bike in the living room...

@ Dave, what I did is just go on your links then click with the right mouse button on the picture and select "Properties" in the pop up menu. Then you have the complete link to the picture not to the page only.
I should have left your links though as it seems that sometimes the pics are shown, sometimes not. Box.net is good to store and upload flies, for pictures photobucket.com is much better. (and it`s for free also)
