Definitely wouldn't paint it black. Would be hot as hell in the summertime if the rooftop air ever crapped out. Been there done that.

no -- most criminals are not that smart -- but when you put big HD letters on something and you're at bike event they know what's going to bring the money on the black market--why steal a Honda when you can steal a Harley --

They are not hard to sell- they are impossible to sell!! Thats why I'm not afraid to paint it. You want to talk about a depressed market- go talk to your local RV seller (if they are still in buisness) current terms if you are going to finance: 40% down and perfect credit

I'd recommend going with the Colors of your bike... Blend them in somehow with what you have to get the theme going and then have a graphic guy enlarge your tank emblems and put one on each side with one on the back. Now that'd look cool.

Now thats a good idea- hmmmm- maybe bottom half black- tank logos and use an orange stripe to seperate the bottom black from the top white....
