Anyone with this color done any pinstriping or paint mods?
Got pix?
I have searched the web and found some pretty descent paint schemes, but figured some of the peeps on here must have some pretty trick detailing or mods.
TIA

I have gold flames on the fairing, front fender, saddlebags and tank of a Red 2012 Limited. I wouldn't really call it trick, but it does distiguish mine from everyone else's. The people that see it all comment about liking it.

When the stripper suggested the gold, I was very hesitant, as I just couldn't imagine gold looking good with Red and Merlot, but it does. That's why I dion't dress myself, I got no eye for what works.

I have since seen a 2005 CVO that is red with gold accents and it really pops.

Do you have any pix Bill?
The factory accents are gold on my Classic, but a friend of mine just had his 07 SG painted about 3 shades of grey-silver and 1 or 2 of those colors would look sharp with the red, I would think.

I am not sure if I want to 2 tone the paint, or just accent with some graphics.

Thats why I figured there would be some peeps here who would be proud enough to want to show them off.

Thank you,
Bob

Don't have any extra strips or anything but I had the inner fairings painted along with the heat shields. I have yet to see another bike on the road that has painted heat shields to match. It really looks good and stands out.

Damn Joe,
that stuff is pretty sharp. Didn't realize you could get the sheen with powder that you do with a few coats of clear.
