    I decided to re-do the tank and fender this week. After painting it a nice gloss black, I finally got an idea on the pattern I wanted (pinstripe) So after much deliberation (in my mind) I picked up my fine-liner brush and did the dirty deed.
    Here's a few pics:

    A mosquito!! Now that's funny sh!t right there, I don't care who yo are.
    I suppose I could give a msquitio a hit of LSD, dip him in paint, set him on the tank and let'm go to it!! Maybe it would turn out better than my work 8O

    Your front fender does look like a dive-bombing mosquito or a dive-bombing fountain pen.

    What color of red are you using? It really pops against the black background.
