All these Tarheels on here. Awesome. I'm from J'ville, NC originally. I ride to Raleigh quite a bit and plan to move their within 5 years.

The badges are perfect for your paint scheme. Excellent choice.

Nice. Is that FLSTN metal? I have a new set up in the garage I was going to paint dark metallic maroon and creme in that configuration. Never got to it yet.
Now looking at yours, that teal green is a good choice too.
Can't wait to see it on the sickle.

Thanks for the compliments, everyone.
I toyed around with getting a red pinstripe inside the gray but when the painter did it he said that it took away the teal...besides back then, they didn't do double pinstripe or metalic so we went with the flat teal and off white. I figured with all the chrome, spokes, and wide whitewalls it's definitely going to be oldschool/retro.
Supposed to be done by wednesday. This is worst than waiting for Christmas!

Looks great. I've always like that color componation. I wonder how that would look on my RKC?

I am going to put a tank badge on it...this one..
Ya, I like that too, especially with the paint. Can't wait to see it completed.

It'll look like what I was going for...old school...retro...57 chevy'ish.
I think that color combo will make any big bike look like a throw back and something James Dean would ride.
Dang, wednesday can't get here soon enough.
