Absolutely gorgeous. The marbling makes it. You done good. I'm ready to do my SG now with that scheme.

Thanks for the feedback! I only chose the color and pinstriping and told the painter to have at it. He really got creative. The guy that did it was Mike Robins at O's in Memphis. Very impressed with the work.

Very nice. Curious, if you don't mind my asking, what'd it run ya? I'm not in that area, but would like to compare to here. Was the lettering freehand also, or a decal? Thanks.

Lettering was freehand as well. It cost me ( insurance ) $3500 but that included some repair work on the tank and rear fender as well. The bike was dropped on the left side and dented both. I am sure with the economy the way it is, you can find someone to do it cheaper. Did not really matter to me as the insurance company cut a check for the repairs. The lettering and some of the accents on the pinstriping are gold leaf.
