    I still like the dark metalic blue.
    Plum Crazy (see my slideshow) isn't as dark as I'd hoped but the paint shop had very few purples to chose from and wouldn't experiment for me.

    I see LOTS of black ones and red ones (not unique enough for me)

    The aluminum engine (and lack of black radiator) on the airhead changes the scheme a lot IMO

    mines about as bright as it'll get.. unless you go with neon green. obviously not an original orange color but the pin strip decals set it off. take a gander at a few to see what i'm talking about in my gallery!

    yours is a little too glossy for me i am thinking of going satin or flat and maybe even have it powder coated that color so i dont have to worry about fade or peeling later on
