I agree that the strip should be a darker color, but not one that shocks the senses. One of the reasons I listed Root Beer as that is dark and to me would blend well with both colors. More of a drawing in of the senses.
To me that is what I think of when someone comments that something is rich. Like a fine teak trim on a sailling ship.

Pin Stripes

Check out the sedona orange RK. They have a gold and another color pin stripe that I think looks really tasteful. I think with your orange it might work and you'll at least have the opportunity to see how those colors work against the orange.
Front fairing colors look great!!!!!!

Wow that is nice! I disagree with the the dark/black crowd, I think a lighter silver with a blue hue would be subtle yet enough different from your silver to make your eye really look at the colors.

Ultra, that root bear will show up dark but not quite black. The root beer should sparkle rich brown tones in sunlight and black when the sun isn't hitting it.

I believe you are correct an I think I am really leaning to-wards Root Beer. Good suggestion Les.
