and this one has a springer too! I don't even know what I'm going to do w/ the one I just bought before this one. this one should be pretty simple though - light clean & lube, seat, grips, tires/wheels, pedals, ride. pretty excited to get this, as I foolishly sold the only tanker w/ springer I ever had, and all the springer forks I had too. wheelset, pedals (which are huge) and seatpost clamp been changed, not sure about the rest. graphics look to be hand-painted. wouldn't mind knowing make/vintage, as I would like to eventually find a horn assy (missing), also a lens for the delta.

Looking again, it may be a repaint or maybe touchup that they did carefully to look original. Where the rear fender brace bolts up normally doesn't show any wear or scratches on the blue paint from the original brace, yours has been replaced and bolts up to the rear axle.
One way to tell, if the fork tube that's hidden in the frame shows the same color, and the inside of the bottom bracket also shows that same color, you may have original paint.
