Default Different colored tins?
Mulling over different colors, just wondered if anyone has fenders and oil reservoir one color and gas tank another color? Can you post your pics?

I'm talking more like.... Green fenders, orange tank or Blue fenders, yellow tank. Stark different colors! I do appreciate you input just looking for different ideas. Not a new 48 looking 80's XLH.

I always thought a British Racing Green fuel and oil tank with black fenders might look pretty cool.
