    Why stay with the "stock" colors? They'll only be "stock" if they were on your bike from the factory. If your gonna spend the cash for paint why not go orginal? Of course I'm a little partial to custom paint... just my 2 cents.

    Look up "House of Kolor" on google... They are the best paint you can buy and they also have every shade and color known to man. When I redid the paint on my 86 I was looking at mainly the pearl paints until I decidied on the black w/blue pearl and blue/silver marble... It took me three months to decide on the colors I wanted. The yellow pearl (where the white is now), and a pearl black (where your strips are) would look really good. Use the House of Kolor "Flow clear" clear coat, it makes the paint look wet all the time...

    not to be too terribly biased, but check out the transformation of mine. I have had a ball completely changing the original look. it was pearl with gold and black striping, factory colors. now it is silver and black, or almost anyway. i just got it done a week ago and already i have had many comments from friends and strangers who think it's newer. of course you may want to keep the vintage look....
