The colour scheme in my sig pic was inspired by early dressers. I was told that HiFi candy Blue was a Duo Glide colour (I now know better) and when Harley first introduced glass-fibre luggage and the batwing the bikes were blue, red, green or black, but the luggage was birch white. I added the batwing and tourpak off other bikes and painted the white parts to fit that early image.

The batwing is '83 and tourpak '87, bike '90. The new front fender script is 60s, replacement parts are '03 front fender, '08 rear fender, '09 tank, '10 bags! Should look fine.....
