      I think it would look better with a more traditional stripe, maybe checkered like the Yoshi replicas. These lightning bolt-ish stuff that's going on there distorts the nice vintage lines of the bike, in my humble opinion.

        I like the pointy stripes. WAY better than your first black image. Plus the yellow looks good.

        If your gonna make a custom bike do it properly and make it grab some attention. Too many black customs IMO.

          You might do a search on Reno Air races. I've seen some interesting paint ideas on those airplanes.

            Hey not too many people liked my green and black until they saw the parts I had painted together.

                OK... here it is only partly put back together. I took the advice on the lines and thing they turned out good. Putting logo's and other stuff on tomorrow.. red "s" on the center of the rear fender and a 'year of the pig' logo on the tank. (means something to me)

                  Color me "meh" on the greenish on top of the tank (or is that shadow?) but overall "okay".

                    that is a shadow.. it is all one color...

                    and here it is...
                    I also moved the plate to the bottom...
                    and lowered the front fender a little...

                    I think it turned out fantastic.

                      Yellow is not for me or my bike, but it works for a "race" looking bike like yours. Hey, what so they call that small faring/windshield unit? I have a 80 1100e (SQUARE HEADLIGHT) . do they make one for my bike? If not I am gonna have to change to round, cause I think it would be sweet for my rebuild..(build thread coming soon)
