I'm pretty happy with it overall, if I ever change my mind i won't be a huge deal to save up a few bucks and just piece together a new set of tins and get them a more conventional paint job instead. For now I'm pretty happy with it though, I had a guy see it from 30 feet away this afternoon in bright sunlight and think it was heavy black/silver mega-flake.
I ordered a set of '59-60 Chrome/Red tank emblems. I figure there is such thing as too much black, and that will break it up just enough to keep it fresh.

Have it in the bed of my truck. Lifetime guarantee!
It does look interesting and if you are into low maintenance, it fits the bill.
I hate washing my bike, but am not sure I would go that far. Have seriously considered lining the undersides of the fenders to prevent nicks/scratches that would bring rust.

As I said in my previous post, if you're going to do even the inside of your fenders with it, tape off the area around where your tail light base mounts, it doesn't have to be a huge area, but enough to leave it room to fit into the goove on the base. Also tape off the holes for your seat studs or you'll be cursing yourself when you try to get it put back together.

It was really between those ones, and the first two on the left hand column here. I like the one on the top left side too, but it's probably the one that I've seen most other guys use on theirs and I didn't want to be the same.
