Just me, but , I like the original paint the best. Then again, if it ever becomes damaged in any way, I'll need to do something I guess.

I'll keep on experimenting and as I come up with new ideas I'll post them here. I enjoy photoshop when it is something I am interested in.

I also found out Harley is now selling reproductions of the old classic metal tank badges.

Ken,
I apologize. At 1st glance I thought your tank badge came off a Yamaha Star.

I am thinking about incorporating something like this into a custom paint scheme and / or the new upholstery for my seat.
