I think I hear angels. I have the same bike cept it's rough around the edges. After seeing this I'm tempted just to restore mine and keep it shining. It is my first real bike after all.

If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I have seen that one. 
She's a pretty one for sure. Is that a custom color scheme?

Yes. No idea what the actual colors are meant to match, though. We showed the painter my Wing and said we wanted a dark blue to "sort of" match it, then use a bright silver for the inset panels. It is supposed to resemble the stock pattern (but didn't have to match exactly), just using different colors.I have seen that one.
Here is Rocketman's very excellent bike for comparison:
The blue is VERY close to the Wing, it just doesn't have the purple-ish pearl that is in the Wing paint. Since the bikes are never touching each other, it's hard to tell the difference.
My Wing has pinstripes in a couple shades of blue and pink, and some feathers. Her bike has the same thing, but by a different striper, so the patterns are different. You can tell the bikes belong in the same family by looking at the trunks.

By the way, I'm saving this pic on my computer to serve as my inspiration for my restore.

hi, can you break down the polishing or ur engine which by the way looks awesome!? I have the same bike but the aluminium on the engine is corroded a bit and has all kinds of marks on it. Was thinking of sanding with a 800 wetpaper and then trying to buff out...hmmmm....If I can;t get it cleaned I was thinking of painting at least the sides of the engine black (sorry I know this hurts a lot of people) ha

Wow - that is amazing! That must take so much work! I am probably the anti-shine guy in comparison. I try to remove all shine from my bikes, otherwise I would get freaked over any fingerprint or smear. I have a Harley Softail with no shiny bits and all the Harley guys think I'm weird. Oh well. I can live with that!
