Default Need Your Opinions

I have a 02 heritage classic. I am thinking of painting it and putting on 16" apes. The color i am thinking is a cream color with crimson pin stripping. I am 6'2" and as for the bikes current color all I have for a picture is my signature pic. I am unable to take more pics because I am currently in a different country. Please let me know what you all think about the combo. I am new to the whole forum thing but have been reading some posts for a couple of months and you all seem very willing to give your opinions.

Sounds great. Maybe you can steel options from BBeavers, what parts he has painted. ;-)

If you want to know if your paint scheme will look good, just ask bbeavers and if he likes it, your on the right path.

Sorry bb, don't mean to put you on the spot, but damn you have good taste in colors and how to make it flow on a sled.

Thanks for the comments, this is my first Harley and the first time that I have had money to spend on something like this, so I am game to any additional ideas for the bike. I want to get a new solo seat and toying with running true duels.

Just look at a 97 Heritage Springer for an idea of what creme paint with crimson striping will look like. IMHO, one of the classiest bikes Harley ever produced.
