I think if the colors were not on so many pieces it would be better. I think it needs to be brass not gold. Nice fab on the sissy bar.

its real close to the color of the Harley Davidson on the tank...the flash tends to make the color look more gold than brass...

gotta get some pix in normal lighting condition...

Really nice job on the sissybar, must have been a work of patience!

As for the color, once you find the proper balance of what to paint and what not it will probably look great. Are you still going to wrap the exhaust?

I plan on it...and yes this sissy bar was a PITA...about 8 + hours. Hopefully we will wrap the pipes next week. I just really like the DIFFERNT factor..but I agree it needs to be broken up a bit..thanx for all the comments. Keepem coming.

I think once you wrap the pipes and paint the mirrors black, you will have achieved the desired black/brass equilibrium. Nice going so far.

How about a slight bend at the top of the sissy bar?

didn't bend because i may throw a backpack or sissy bar bag onto it from time to time..

So black the mirrors?


Not sure whats next..possibly wrapping the pipes about 3/4 of the way down.
Hopefully Road Six bars with the Brass inserts as well...OH AND RIDE THE HELL OUT OF IT
