    Henderson colours

    Hi Ken, thanks for your helpful advices on phone and in e-mails when I was facing problems with my Henderson.
    If you like the colours on my De-luxe I can provide the codes. I got this paint mixed by adding colours to some availiable car codes.
    Personally I think it came out well.
    Please note that the cream or ivory wheels are changing their colour a lot in the sun, the second picture`s rearwheel is what it looks like in real.




    Kind regards
    Sverre
    And then there is the idea that we are here on earth to get a certain amount of things done before we die.
    This is a great theory.
    If it is true, I am so far behind that I will never die...

                  Hi,
                  I am restoring a bike like yours and was wondering if you would be so kind if sending some photos of your battery bax and the measurements as I need to reproduce it? Thanks Dale
