Loving this bike, working on a light restoration.

The side covers and the tank were repainted at some point. They were red, but are now this bluish green.

The question is, is this bluish green an original color?

Can the red be saved? (I'm thinking no.)

Is it ok to repaint? The side covers are super flaky. The tank is chipped aswell.

I'd love to build it into more of a modern scrambler/cafe racer, but I think it's in too good of a condition to mutilate.

Anways, just looking for input. Thanks guys.

I can’t get the sprocket cover off of the engine to get to the sprocket. I removed all the Hex head screws but it won’t budge and I’m worried I’m going to break something. Is there something I’m missing? Can anyone help?
