Default Paint is done

Painter took a couple quick pics and I am very pleased. Wanted a subtle ghost flame and I think he nailed it for me. Better pics on the way.

The tins look great but, I am not sure rather I like them better than your tins that are in your sig picture. Your bike looks bad azz in the sig picture. Can't wait to see some pictures after the change out....

Looks good from the pics. Some pics (don't forget close-up shots of ghost flames) after assembly are definitely in order. Congrats!

Thanks. The flames are called aluminum and the base is vivid black. I'll post some pics after I get them on. I still have the stock tins. I like them and they go well with the look of the bike as it is now. I wanted an option to change the look but not permanently. So the new tins will take me away from the nostalgic look and will be absent the scripted "Deluxe" words on the front fender, (holes filled - also had them fill in the rack holes on the rear fender and shave rivets ) have new fender trim, a low profile solo seat from C&C, Mark III's to replace the engine guard, the HD low profile console, and chrome and rubber floor boards and pegs to replace the nostalgic stuff, and a Roland Sands Venturi air cleaner

Looks good, but I of cousre I like the color it is now. I showed wife is looking at having her Heritage custom painted, and she said yeah, looks good,but want to see it when you get it changed out.
