Default Choices for Painting a Standard..

Hi Guys,
Winter project time, and I am thinking the stupid Harley Red on my 01 FXST gotta go ...
I am looking at the following bikes and not sure which direction to go ?..
I need your pictures if you have painted an FXST(C/B) or if you have put a Heritage/fatboy rear fender on one as well..

I am leaning towards Millitary style paint set (ala MASH), or the classic Black and White paint set.. but not sure how will they fit the bob tail.. I am looking for inspiration if you have done it.

Even if you have replaced your gas tank with a peanut one too.. let me see it !.

I know, I like it too and with my black lowers will look awesome, but not sure how would it look like on a bobtail fender ? also not sure if the fatboy rear fender will kill the 'bobber' look !..

I think I would find a nice pic of your bike and drop it in the photo shopping place with the pic of the black and white bike for reference. . . . see what they come up with, they shopped some black in my sig pic, looks real.

Personally, I like the bobtail fender. This is what I'm switching over to (not an old school look).

If you're referring to me, I don't think I can do the tri bar. I'm running the Kuryaken Pancea, and it has built-in blinkers, since I've removed my stockers.
