    Looks great Golikehell!! I like the orange. Made me think of my next custom paint job and orange just might be the main color now!

    The only thing I'd add is white pinstriping between the black and orange.

    thanks everyone for the compliments.. I was thinking the same thing about the pinstriping, I'm thinking silver though.

    Looks good.

    Be aware though that in most states having that color scheme legally requires you to park it over an oil slick. :wink:

    nice look, the orange on black looks great, personally for pin stripe, I would go something like bright blue or lime green - just to make it pop

    Now that you've added this sweet paint job, is it still for sale?

    I'm just curious -- your location is too inconvenient for me to buy it...

    I'd continue that stripe into the rear fender. Then yes on the orange pinstriping. Or pin stripe the orange stripe with a black pin stripe.
    Cool.

    thanks again guys, Yes its still for sale. not aggresively, but i do want to sell it and get something a little bigger, I'm 6'1" 250, and im a touch cramped on it.

    I did some silver pinstriping, and it looks finished now, but after riding up to myrtle beach for the rally yesterday, and Seeing how deeply those colors scream HD,(yeah, im an idiot for not realizing, i know) I'm gonna repaint again. I dont have a deadline this time, as i was trying to get it done in a few days to be ready for MB last time, So i'll probably take the time to continue things into the rear fender, and it may be more than just straight stripes this time. I was thinking black with a bright green, but then id be in the same boat, just looking Kawasaki instead of HD. So blue it is. Just gotta find one I like.

    How did you make the motor itself shine like you did? The before pics it's a lil dull like mine. How did you shine it up like that?
