Default New paint, on the street.

I took too long on my bike this last winter so I was rushed this spring trying to get it done so I could get maximum use out of this riding season. The paint I did in my garage is a black base coat with some red pearl thrown in and a PPG clear over it.
It looks black in the shadows but it turns red or brown in the light.
I went with Zippers chain conversion 'cause my 1 1/2" belt wuz rubbing the tire.
Next winter I'll do the trees black and a few other things.
Oh, I forgot to add it's a 95", 99 dyna built to ride. Not sit in front of the bar on bike night. I've been abusing it for 15 years. It still loves to get squirrelly in the corners as much as I do. It knows when to slip and drift and when to hook up and be good.

Oh, it's a fun bike for sure. It still bangs the front tire off the ground in 3rd sometimes.

You probably could if you tried. The cool thing is, if you don't like it you can redo it. It just takes practice.
