Default RK CLASSIC & NOSTALGIC PAINT
I just got the bike out of the paint shop this week, cleaned it up a bit and rode it to the open house at the HD dealer.They passed onseveralcompliments about the color mix and pinstriping. A special thanks to the photoshop crew here on the forum for giving me a visualof what it wouldlook like before I pulled the trigger.Evan Locke at FatBoyz in Colorado Springs,CO (719-531-5310)did the paint. He's really a decentguyand adamn good paintertoo!

Hope you like it as much as I do...it was a very bright day and the picturesdon't do the color justice.
