Default Night train bobber build
I'm almost finished with my recent Night Train bobber build. I just need to decide on a color for the tank and fender and clean up some of the wiring and cables. I'm leaning towards flat black... or maybe flat silver. I'm also gonna use some sort of retro HD tank emblems. Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I was checking out Roland Sand's "Ol Vic build . I love the color he chose, and I think it would look real cool on a build like yours.....
