If you're wanting to refinish the frame like those in the pictures just sand it smooth, and get a primer and finish color from Krylon or Rustoleum. A metal etching primer would be a bonus if they have it. Rattle can paint is very thin to atomize through that small orifice, so you need to put on three or four thin coats at each step to get a good coat of finish.
Thanks for the input guys.
Itoldyouso= your a dare devil,lol. 6.5hp, that motors HUGE. The bike looks beautiful though.
Rspears= No I dont want the original patina , I just didnt want to strip it too bare metal as you said. After taking it apart though I think stripping it would be best.
