Why you SOFTY of coarse. I have always been terminal old school and this was my original plan when I bought the bike. I wrestled with many other designs but finally went back to this one. I was trying to put a new twist on an old design so this is it.

Defiantly 2 good looking scoots. I looked at a lot of paint sets before deciding. I wanted something that blended everything together in an understated way so went with a charcoal metallic with black smoke flames.

My problem is with the silver flames on charcoal the flames get lost in the chrome so now im on a long quest to gloss black everything out. Your black flames pop with the chrome. Im jealous.
