Got it all together now:










I must say that Colormania nailed the colors exactly! Calypso Red/Birch White. They did a terrific job. I haven't put on the headlamp visor yet.
Anyone who is considering a custom paint job, and doesn't know where to go, give Joe at Colormania a holler.

You must be referring to the headlamp visor. I haven't put it on yet.

I still think you should get the side covers & belt guard done it red too, but red was a great choice.
