Looks good. If you were to ask me, I'd say to put something on the oil/battery covers.

like the skull that says harley davidosn aorund it? that would look sick. love the stripes nice and subtle but really set the bike off. you could always put racing numbers on if your going for the cafe racer look.

Good looking scoot you got there. Looks like it's screaming for a Checkered flag on the tank, should go good with the Hd emblem on the oil bag and the side cover.

Take a pic to a vinyl shop, they can make the vinyl of it, use the reverse, spray it and you'll be good to go, you could cut it out of paper but its tedious and if you screw up once you're pissed and have to start over, trust me I've been through it.
