I like it! But I get the impression that it is "upside down" to the rest of the bike. Doesn't quite flow right?

YEP,gray on panels just what I was thinking. I think it looks good. The gray on top of fender and not on bottom isa an interesting touch .

I think it looks good but I agree with some of the others, it does look a bit out of balance when it's pointed out that the other items have the grey on the bottom but it has the grey on top. To counter that, add the grey to the top of the side covers and then it will be balanced (2+2).

Not a fan of the teal. You should have painted the whole bike.

thanks

Thanks for the input! Im always looking on here (way to much time if you ask the wife) to get ideas and see the cool things other people have done.

Im still not sure if I like the grey? I picked up the fatboy fender for $20 on Craigslist, had some grey paint left over from another project, and tried to tie it in with a little teal from one of those duplicolor rattle cans (duplicolor actually turned out pretty nice). Im thinking about either turning the brackets around so the fender sets the right way, or using those fender brackets to lower the stock (all teal) fender? If that doesnt work im painting it purple
