Were you rolling around while you took the pictures? LoL

I agree. All red would over power the look IMO.

Could have gone darker with the red on the axel covers.

i may be completely retarded. but i like the look of black and red. Im thinking of painting the tank and both fenders matte red. Choosing matte because i have a feeling i can make the tank dull colored better than making it shine myself.

wonder how it would look with a gloss black frame and oil tank.


and i like the look of matte red. never seen it on a harley though. it would be unique.

this would make the job not permanent if 2 or 3 years down the road it wanted to go back to black. although it looks difficult to use

I'm ok with the frame accents if they were darker but the axle covers dont match the style of your bike IMO and with them being red it looks worse. I do like the idea about the wheels but I think maybe you should look at a red that matches the tins closer.

thats why im thinking of painting flat red. id obviously paint the covers and frame inserts the same color as the tins. Yay? or Nay?

Im probably going to do it. just would like another opinion and the other half that will be riding on it has no opinion whatsoever as long as the rear seat gets put on it.
