    Charcoal would look sharp.
    Please put the front fender on it gives a 5 mpg increase in gas milage.

          I think it'll look good, it's just hard to envision the finished painted product, probably why you're not getting any feedback.

              Paint it, post some good pictures, and then I'll tell you if I like it.

              I think I might like it.

                Hi AK,

                Paint is such a personal thing. You may hate what I would do (even though it is well known around my PR dept that I am infallible ) .

                Having said that I love solid colors that ''sparkle'' in the sun. Maybe a contrasting stripe based around the lines and/or contours of the bike. Adore blues, greens and reds with LOTS of clear over.

                For what it's worth
                Richard

                  Rattle can it flat black, remove the shocks and replace with some sort of bar.
                  Add a bicycle seat and maybe cut the mufflers off. Presto! instant custom bike!



                  I'd go with a nice dark charcoal with lighter gray stripes.

                  Nice bike.

                    I like the stock black w/red stripes. Looks classy!

                        I'm having difficulty picturing how the different colors will look with the gray engine.
