Default Flat Black and Red help
Ok first, dont tear this apart. I know the Flat Black and Red theme has been done, over and over again. BUT, my wife has a 2010 flat black Street Bob. We ordered our C&C seats last week and hers has the red stitching on it. So, she and I have decided to dress it up with a little red hear and there. I am going to order the red plug wires and will have the little red on the seat. Any other ideas? Ive thought about a small custom tribal type pin stripe, but dont know? anybody know how well those hold up? all comments and suggestions welcome!

If she really likes red, how about some red on the battery band?

All great ideas. Its a big no go on the emblems though. She loves the ones that are on it now. They do look pretty sharp.

Whatever you do, just keep it subtle and tasteful. That flat black and red crap turns gaudy and obnoxious real quick.

I agree 100% that this is something that could easily be gone overboard with. She likes bikes plain simple and classic, so im sure she wont go to far. But, its her bike, so its whatever she wants.
