It really does. Otherwise that was a nice bike...

OK so what was the Serial number? Date anyone..... ?

These are neat bikes... D models...but unlike the D model Hornet...the chain guard got the "B" model treatment
with the Cream back panel... Hornets were solid color of the bike aside from pinstripes.

I made a BooBoo a few years back restoring one of these and assuming NO cream on the rear panel (like most
D models, seemed logical)
Anyway...here's a nice restored bike with a minor detail error!

PS? If anyone bought the OP rusted tank bike and needs a NICE original same color to upgrade and replace...
let me know...I'd part with it most likely....

I have a OG paint 54 hornet that is a two tone green with white accents. So i don't think all Hornets were single paint.

.....I was only referring to the chainguard panel. All 26" Hornet guards were one color with stripes...
the Streamliner had the cream back panel
