Yes I can not see the trailer at all behind my 1 ton when nothing is on it.
I stuck a couple of 2" x 2" vertical posts at the rear of my trailer and like you, it reassures me, "it's still there!" They help me back-up also.

The '86 is still lookin' good. Should be an easy re-sell.
 
Made a bracket for the rr brake fluid reservoir.
 
Looking great, again! I had an '80 Z28 that was very-close to that color, the car was stock externally. I always thought that would be a good color for a bike. It's a metallic, yes?
Yes it Is metallic. It's one of my versions of Black cherry. The base is actually black and all pearl over the top.

This was my 78'. 1st of seven z28's I had until they discontinued the style I liked in 2003. I went back to Mopar after a few years.

1963 Corvette Grand Sport driven at Sebring 12-Hour Race, 1964 by AJ Foyt and John Cannon who also drove for Dan Blocker of 'Bonanza' fame who sponsored several racecars. The GM Grand Sport racers from the C2 era are probably the most expensive Corvettes in the collecting world.

Looks close to Kyle's paint.

For a compare/contrast of the color palette, here's Gary Nixon's Triumph Daytona 500 twin which won the 200 mile race in 1967. The first I believe to be a tribute.

Here's a set we did for a customer in the blue/white some years ago. I think it was the 96 Grand Sport colors we used.

Sean, great work! Looks like a theme carried through well. Is that a Corvette emblem, the 'V'?
 
Not today just a memory that came up from 6 years ago. I can't remember all of them I have saved or parted out. It's been way to many.
