    Thanks ya'll! I'll try to get some better pictures in the sunlight, when I finally get a chance to ride. You know how people will sometimes say, "pictures don't do justice"? Well, pictures do alot of justice to this paint job :wink: I need to redo the tank, and yes the whole bike could use another wet sanding.

    I will NOT be doing pinstripes! Anyone who remembers Gene Wilder in Blazing Saddles will understand.

    Haha maybe pinstripes was the wrong word. I like red accents on flat black.

    Is there red around the passenger seat cowl cover? If there isn't I personally would add a stripe around that, and possibly around the outer edge of the tank protector. Just my $.02 ;)

    Well, if you walk into the auto parts store they won't know WTF a "red accent" is, they only have red pinstripes. A red accent, however, is what I meant. But you're still gonna need a roll of pinstripe!! And now I'm gonna have to go watch Blazing Saddles again as I don't remember what you're talkin about, oh damn, I have to watch Blazing Saddles again, dang :spankme: Something tells me it has to do with them Kansas City fellers though.......

    ElWray, the red you see is what happens when you paint in a poorly lit garage, at night, after a few beers. I didn't even notice all the spots I missed until the final assembly. It will need a repaint but that can wait. It ain't no show bike!
