Suntower, my "dream" has always been to have a "Vicla" style or type of bike from long ago before this style was even popular or even talked about. I just could never afford it before do to one reason or another, usually related to the kids and family stuff. Priorities ya know? In any case that dream consisted of the bike being Chromed out and done entirely in Powder blue. Then I seen this car in a car show, a 66 Nova that was done in silver. This silver was SO eye popping it almost looked like like chrome. I could never find the owner of that car that day though and I haven't seen that car in any shows in the area since. I also don't know what he had under it or over it either to know how he got it that way. 1 person told me that it was a "Mercedes" silver but I didn't want to go with a guess and also not knowing what else he used under it or over it, if anything. That is what got me going and started thinking about a light powder blue and silver, a two tone bike. As for the burgundy or maroon color? I think done right it looks sweet but at night at a few feet of distance I don't want the bike looking like it's a black and silver. In other words a color that appears dark or black once it is out of the sunlight or lighting. Flake was never part of the plan until recently. The thought is slight and slowly growing on me. I have 6 or 7 months to educate myself and to make a choice. Thanks for the info Dude.
