Looks good, wish I could paint. I'm adequate at flat black.
My 71 has an acceptable 2 tone, I-have some bags with a bad flame job.
I'll get you some pictures later.

Just my lowly opinion, But you can't go wrong with Black and some sort of accent color, not much help, but Black and red are my favorites

and it's easier to fix when chipped.....

Don't wanna be a naysayer on black but I had a black RK before my current bike and keeping it looking good was labor intensive. Last winter I was going to tear my current one down for a repaint but I got sidetracked electrical repairs and mechanical things instead. Anyhow I saw that your bike was originally birch white same as mine. What I did was go through the color chips at work and picked a gm color that was a similar shade of white and it was a tricolor that had 3 different colors of pearls in it. Really sharp looking color in the sun. Less labor intensive to keep clean. Just a suggestion
