Color for my new fenders and tanks

How about a paint scheme like s CVO Breakout, except use the stock blue in place of the black.

That will get you an accent and people will do a double take when they look at it.

Alain: I like the gloss. Now I know you mentioned you powdered some parts black, but have you thought about powdering (or re-powdering) your triple tree's and fork legs blue to match the frame? That, along with blue accents on the tank could tie everything together pretty nicely. You could also paint part(s) of your clip-ons blue as well.

As far as the trees and fork sliders go, I'm gonna keep those black. While working on the front fender today I got the idea to spray the fatbob headlight the same silver color as the tins and keep the trim rings gloss black. Which would go nicely with the two black Daymakers I have in there (see pic). I might also paint silver the horn cover (which is gloss black now). And also that front spoiler on the front/bottom of the frame.
Flat is definitely off the table. Whatever it is it's gonna be a gloss color.

Lol. Damn Jojo, that's a lot you threw at me there.
I like every suggestion except the silver dash. I think keeping the dash gloss black will help break up the silver and tie in nicely with the seat and the triple trees which are both black.
As far as the air cleaner...... The cone air cleaner is off (and it's for sale).
I have this sitting in a box in the garage waiting to be I stalled, got it from DK customs. I might just keep the round gloss black cover without the star on it. Gotta see how the star looks when it's on the bike.
I also just finished slapping on the speedo relocation kit from DK. Now speedo is off the tank (still waiting on the dash to be finished).
No pics yet.
