I agree with removing the white. Just too much going on for my taste with it. And as much as I dig Scott's work from Chemical Candy, I'd remove his flying helmet from the fender as well. Congrats on your purchase man!

I agree with another poster regarding the Slim looking better. So what was it that made you think you wanted a bagger and then what was it that made you want to ditch that ride too?

Yeah that color is unique, but was referring to the gap between the engine and gas tank. There's a support beam that has to be removed to get that much clearance.
