I think that I found a great paint combo for my GS. Brandy-wine, ivory and gold. I think this is going to be my actual number plate for my side covers.

look at the old ducati race bikes, like the single 250s, they have that paint scheme, you'd love it

I think it would be kickass if you actually cut, or had someone cut/waterjet that 85 out of thin brass plate... then you would just have to paint the ivory oval and apply it... it would be a SICK touch. I like the scheme though either way.

You could hand lay the numbers in a bronze leaf. Hand turn them for a real old school race car look. Its not hard with a little practice. You can buy the leaf and glue at any craft store.

A friend of mine has a CNC machine and said he'd cut the badges and things out for me for the cost of materials. I am kind of rethinking the brandy-wine and going with a navy blue instead.

Here's something kinda similar that Roland Sands did. This bike called Glory Stomper isn't exactly the same scheme, but its close.....

do this and then lay it in acrylic and make it into a tank badge like BSA!
