Seen this tank on http://rickynoot.blogspot.com.

flat black with a little red around the gold leaf.

 

That sounds confusing... Maybe because I've been drinking too! LOL

 

I'd say black of course - if you want to stand out , you could do a satin black instead of the flat black, I did that with my 01 Sportster rebuild and worked out great.

 

That looks great. Is it just vivid black with a satin clearcoat?

 

I vote Satin Black, but then again, I AM biased.

 

do a nice Titanium grey- like the 07 roadglide- with red pinstriping or possible red rims...

As for "old style" badges, the "sniper badge" is always a classic...

 

An idea that I have for my 59 chevy apache is the rust colored or maroon primer. Keeps the Hot Rod/ Hooligan look but makes it different from all the others. OR
Just looking at it the way it is right now looks killer. So what if you cleaned up the bare metal on the tank and fender then laid down a few coats of a flat clear coat, keep the black engine and chrome rims. Just some ideas. Post pics whatever you decide. Very nice bike.

 

Great idea. I thought of doing that with a glossy clearcoat but the welds on the tank are a little rough. The flat clear may hide them better. I'm going to have the body shop try a test piece tomorrow. Thanks

 

Sweet ride,any color but flat black please.lol.
