    Which paint scheme do you like?

    Tossing some paint ideas around. Thinking Black with White panels and Gold pin striping. The White could also be Silver like the second rendition but not sure yet.



    What do y'all think? Which one do you like the best?

          I agree, the scallops would look awesome.

              No side covers on the bike on the bike. All the electronics have been moved to under the seat.

                      No option for stripes down the top?

                              There will be a stripe down the center with a pin stripe on each side. There was no question in my mind about it so I didnt put it up for a vote.

                                      What, no flames? My second pick would be scallops.

                                          I like all of them, but... #1 appeals to my "maintain something original" side

                                              I agree, although I believe this is going on an '80 model and the skunk stripe wouldn't be year correct. I do think it would look pretty good though. I think 4&5 down could be made to look really good.

                                              The scallops option is actually my least favorite, especially if you are going to run the racing stripe.

                                                      I'm glad someone else said it first. My least favorite as well.

                                                      I'd vote for #5 or #6. Which one depends on knee dents. If you have them, #6, if you don't, #5. I'd seriously look around on google to get your preference though, with a fat enough stripe on top I'm not sure you'd need anything beyond the number on the back.

                                                          I think number 5 has good proportions. About the same percentage of white on both the tank and tail. I'd say that number 5 would not need a racing stripe.

                                                          Number 6 also looks good.
