I really like that '3', original looking and really complements the shape of the tail.

Looks good. Personally, I'm a fan of the simple white circle with the number in the center. It's more classic that way.

I also like the Gulf Oil colors and they look GREAT on a bike. My cars are official Gulf Oil licenced products.
Look at this link: http://www.grandprix-originals.com/german/index.php?action=blueandorangecars
They might put your bike on their website if you send them your pictures.
Great work!

Re: '75 CB550 - Gulf - I don't know...this blue makes me want to do unnatural things
Gulf blue...yep.
The rubber pad that goes between the seat and frame isn't on, so the seat is sitting a little lower and not lining up with the tank, if you're wondering.
Flush-mount taillight opening
As you can see, I also got the engine mounted yesterday. Replaced the old bolts with stainless while I was in there. And I managed to do it without scratching the frame's paint or aggravating my hernia! So it was a good day.

All I can say is WOW.
I love how all the visual lines complement each other (i.e. frame, seat, tank, etc.).

Haha, the frame is fastened to the chair with a ratchet strap. All the weight is in the engine, so even though it looks precarious, it's pretty stable.
