Henry, you probably just looking at the color combo as it sits now, and yeah, I'd have to agree, but I am not going to keep that color. My thought was to go with an all black color scheme and accents of copper and chrome, but then again I might not and I might just powder coat the copper black!!

Yeah have to agree lose the copper. Black would be a much better choice.

Not a fan of the copper. BUT! Engraving something, could be anything. Like a tribal pattern or just some parallel lines that follow the length of the copper tubes after a black powder might look nice

Nice project but I think I'd either have to powder coat the copper pieces on the springer black or have them chromed.

I think the copper looks pretty cool, could use some acid on it and give it a real unique look.

Not much time lately to do much, ended up deciding against the front end, so to that off, I did get new pipes and air filter cover, besides that just been cleaning up the bike
