Default Repainting

This winter we are repainting the wifes 06 1200L, It will still be black (fenders have some deep cuts into the paint down to the metal cuts), but wanting some pink striping. Does any body know of any body elses bike that may have pink pin stripes??????? Pictures would be appreciated. We thought of total pink, but after seeing some pictures of others, it appears to be tooooooo much pink.

In my opinion (and I used to do custom paint on Harley's) the pink pinstripes won't show up that much - unless you go satin or flat black as a base color, which would be more in tune with current paint trends.

If she wants some pink without going the flat black route, consider some hot pink ghost flames or maybe pink marble flames or tribals. Sorry, but I have no pics of those color combinations to offer. On top of that, you might consider a custom-stitched seat (pink thread) to match the paint pattern and bring the whole design together.
