Awesome....grab a color wheel on the internet and really look at the colors that go with the black and green. You may be suprised at what would go with that green. Could be the difference between the bike owner being like, "Thanks man, looks great" or saying, "Holy ****!!! That is sweet!" and then telling all his friends.
There was a guy with a crimson red denim road glide that had some striping done. The guy used what looked like process blue (kind of like Ford Grabber blue) and a shade of orange if I remember correctly. Not what you'd expect, but was incredible.
Either way, have fun with it, make sure you post some pics. If ya don't mind me asking, what are ya charging him? PM me if you want. Its funny, I lande my first job the other day. Its a buddy of mine, so I am going to do it for free and it wont't be until a year from now when he returns from Afghanistan...

He's getting it for free. I just ask that he covers the cost of the paint. So that way I keep building my color selection...

Here's some pictures of the bike I'm gonna be striping. I already have my hands in this paint scheme as I'm the one who painted the lower fairing and the seat cowl black...

On that green, I would talk to him about some other color choices as well, I can see some bright orange maybe....

yeah. If you use process blue, practice a few lines on glass with it first. Mine seems a bit thinner than black or fire red
