I down with 2nd and 4 th ! 4 th one will it be polished on top and paint on the sides ? If so would look great with the swirls !

 

[milehighcj360t]

SL350 tank looks pretty good, IMO. Freshly stripped, not sanded yet.

 

[milehighcj360t]

and some paint ideas...btw, the gas cap is chrome, its just taped from the stripping.

 

[milehighcj360t]

and one more awesome scheme...

 

[milehighcj360t]

maybe i'm just nuts...but this is the most appealing to me thus far...

 

[milehighcj360t]

per shamus...

 

[gk45011]

Ok revised favorite is the last one with the black seat. Rather than the gray top how about polished or nickel plated to have it flow with the rest of the shiney bits and bling?

I like the one with just the red on the lower part of the tank.

I have to say that this is the exact color scheme I've been picturing in my head for my current build. Right down to the exact grips I've been planning on getting. Love the bike man.

 

[milehighcj360t]

I think i'm going to run with this....going to paint on monday. The top grey will be satin, the rest will be gloss.

Call me crazy, but I have always liked that natural leather seat... almost a trademark of yor bike.

 

[muskywhisperr]

I agree with you hoosier, I do really like the way that seat looks natural leather

 

[Sonreir]

I added some blue. I think it looks good.
