rowdy , your tank looks great without the tank bib . your guy deserves a beer !

yeah, I think its painted with clear coat, so you would have to strip the paint off the bike and repaint, I think to do it right.

Frankly, I bought the bike because of the pinstriping. You are paying for that extra task done at the factory. I like it, and I'm having a custom seat made that duplicates the pattern on the leater.

Im with you guys, the pinstripes are nice but sometimes they can be too much. Just depends on what direction your trying to go with the bike. If i had to do it all over again i would lose the stripes as my first mod. All a matter of opinion though.
