I saw an idea in "The Horse" and I've kinda taken that idea and drawn out a paintscheme for my bike. pretty simple, but it looked good, one side of the bike one color, one side of the bike another, split right down the middle. The one I saw was white and black, but I'm going to be using silver and red. 8)

I'm in the midst of repainting mine myself right now. I decided on a metallic burgundy base coat, and then black and silver flames airbrushed onto the tank (which a friend will do for me, since I have -zilch- artistic talent.) SHOULD look pretty sharp when it's all done.

The side panels are already the metallic burgundy, and I absolutely love the color/look.

On my black Virago I put red pinstripe flames.

It didn't look bad at all.

What I want to do with my cafe project (probably this winter too much time working on the Kat) is a black base with a dark grey or gunmetal flame job, I have seen it once and it is amazing. very sublte yet beautiful at the right distance.

I am also a fan of "tear away" paint jobs where it looks like the "top" color is peeling off to reveal the bottom color. That really looks better on a full blown sportbike though. I plan on doing a red to white to black tearaway on my katana.

That picture do not do your bike justice dude, They need to go to your website and look at all of it.

I have a '79 750L and this winter I plan on stripping it and repainting it. The scheme I have devised is dark metal flake blue with silver tribal graphics. I haven't decided if I want to leave the badges off and fill the holes or if I want to refinish the badges and leave them on.
