Default new pinstriping

I had been thinking of changing the stripe on my tank from blue to red. Today I bought some vinyl red pinstriping to see how it would look before I remove the tank and have it striped.

I like it. I think it looks classic.

What do you think?

After

Hard to say from the pictures. It looks like you changed the paint color from baby blue to a white on the top half of the tank.

OK, so I'm odd. I like the red. It stands out more.

Like already said. Your bike, do what YOU like.
