That's a good looking bike! But I have to say, that is some of the funniest "art" I've seen done.

What are your plans for paint?

I'm pulling off the tins now to be painted hot rod black. Something simple and quick just to get rid of "the chief". Maybe down the road paint it back to original white/silver. But I'm digging the "gangster" look now. Lower it, slap some apes on it and ride it like a spider monkey all jack up on mt dew! Lol

Not my cup of tea. I'm also going to be selling the seat. It's a 95th anniversary springer seat. I already got an offer for 450! Didn't realize they were that sought after!

With those whitewalls you could just hit it with some sand paper and paint it flat black with a rattle can. Have that old-skool hot-rod look. Nice ride.
