[QUOTE="Somer, post: 98326, member: 379"] I know a "little" about this. I once consulted on the restoration of a pretty famous race bike. The restorers came and looked at a few of my original paint bikes. I pointed out "factory flaws". Orange peel was the standard, not 20 coats of hand rubbed lacquer. Also that just the decals and stripes on tanks were clear coated, not entire bikes. Hardware was cadmium, not stainless steel. There are several standards of judging: ICJAG { International Council of Judges Advisory Group} is a standard used by many concours for cars and motorcycles. A long list of specific areas is used to check off or grade. On say wheels you would look at 1) Is it a Dunlop? 2) Correct size? Can they document a variation? 3)Carriage striping correct? 4) Nipples, spokes cadmium plated? Then there is what is known as French judging which is more of a beauty contest. AMCA judging is very similar to ICJAG standards. Everything is broken down into subcategories, [/QUOTE]
