I was gonna trade it in but the stealer wouldn't come close to what I wanted.

and I don't need a bike to pick up girls but they usually get excited the first time they see them.

My opinion. Get some paint work done to the back side of the tour pack and rear fender that follows the lines of the current paint scheme. Something subtle but enough to add contrast. Then get the fillers painted orange.

I agreed with you, until I saw the side view... I would definately paint it orange... but, as suggested, tie it into the overall paint scheme. I like the idea of a B & S on back of the tourpack, and maybe with the fillers, use some of the black/silver in a similar slash type design of the front end... Bike looks sweet... one thing, though, is it just the angle, or does that little RG fender badge not look like it is on straight?? Looks like the left side is higher than the right....
