What do ya think? Also any of the angles that look "off" are probably the result of things not being tightened down enough.

Gonna pain the tank and headlight bucket. I'm open to any and all suggestions.

+1.. Love the seat! Any info on it? I'd love to do something like that for my xs750

Just aluminum a metal brake and an angle grinder. Just got it back from upholstery today. Not perfect but my guy only charges $35!

Also I could keep the paint but it doesn't look as good as it does in the pictures. I still have it laying around so I could touch it up.

Also previous lives of the bike:

Just never worked for me.

Probably going to try my hands at a seat like that for a project over the winter. I need to do something to clean up and shorten the back end on my bike but still leave enough room to go two up
 
Yeah I needed the space cause I'm way to big for this bike. Gotta ride in a rally this weekend though so made something that'll work for me and subsequent owner. The sleeping mat camping foam stuff is great.

You get the seal of approval from me and my four year old. Nice.

...and me. Looks fantastic just the way it is. I like the black headlight, maybe go gloss black, and then reshoot the tank the same colors, possibly with some gold tuning forks on the sides. It looks so much nicer than the previous iteration.

What color(s) are you thinking? Check out some of the new Ford colors like Bordeaux red reserve or earth, both are also available in a metallic. Also some of the newer crossovers have some good earth tone colors like the Acuras that comes in a color called ionized bronze metallic that is sweet. One of those colors that looks drastically different in sunlight than at night I also really like the seat keep up the great work!

i would do the bucket in gold, the trim ring in ionized bronze metallic, rear fender to match the tank and call it a ball, looks great!!!
 
I think the paint choice is fine the way that it is, what I would do is have a chrome headlight bucket and rewrap the exhaust in black, just my opinion though
