The Black/Silver combo (w/ chrome) almost takes my breath away sometimes.

I always like the Indian Chief chrome fender moldings between two colors.

Second vote is like in the pic.

I agree with you, but what about a reverse combination for that Indian?

Here is a bold step.  Choose a pinstripe.  Very sharp with tan leather.  I love the teal/turquoise/seafoam colors, but they are probably the most common retro base colors done.  If I was repainting, I would step away from the common cliche paint jobs. Red/black, red/white, or black/white with the oval inset on the tank.  It really isn't the colors as much as it is the oval painted on the sides of the tank.  I prefer it to the oval inset on the tanks.   I'm sure you will get exactly what you want.

I had a Chevy pickup years ago, exterior was burnt orange and cream, interior was tangerine orange and champagne velvet, diamond button tuft. Those colors looked good together. I am a fan of the oxblood and cream combo like Troll's bike too;You should go to a paint shop and ask to go through their paint chip books........then you'll be confused....

Well, I think I might do that.

If I had the funds to repaint mine I think I would go Bianchi Green (aka  Celeste) over a Light Cream.

I think I would be partial to orange and an off white used on some Honda Shadow 1100s but I like the one picture of the red & white Indian as well.

Cream and mint green gets my vote if you're going for tan leather  :)

I've always been a fan of dark navy blue with chrome. For two tone, either a dark metallic silver with the blue would be nice and black pin striping to break up the two. Or reverse the dark silver and black to end up with a black and blue bike with a dark silver pinstripe. If you stick with two dark colors, it'll really make the chrome pop and the black seat/saddlebags with chrome studs will coordinate nicely.

Thanks for the input so far. Keep em coming....   ;D  As a side benefit, we all get to look at some really sharp bikes!!!  8)

I see a lot of ideas I like, I guess that's been the trouble - narrowing it down - but keep the ideas flowing.

Just don't paint it like a checker taxicab...

I had considered perhaps a skull theme, but decided against it.

Since you the stock oxblood/ivory colors, but want something not stock, what about flipping the colors.  Paint the oxblood parts ivory and the ivory parts oxblood.

Another thought is like this.....
