I love that color... I've been thinking about doing a repaint on the 1500, but as much as I like the orange, I'm afraid it would come out looking like a big cremesickle...I did my Hotrod in GM Sunburst orange about 10 years ago...and my FLT in 2003...slightly different GM orange....

Them's some nice looking Orange bikes.....
I hope my 800 doesn't turn out looking like a cremesickle..... :o

  I think that, that simple single line just makes the colours pop and bam right at you, sometimes less is best. I can not wait to see it in person....

This has been going really slow- it's killing me....    I had an eye injury of unknown origin a couple of weeks ago, ended up with a corneal ulcer, which believe me is small but hurts like hot coals in your eye...     Besides everything ELSE that has to break, need fixed, trees to cut down, grass to mow, and everything ELSE.... very little time to get on it.

But with a little here, a little there....  there is at least a little progress....

Well, I decided on just a plain-jane single black stripe.  PC, I wanted to take your advice, but my pinstriper is near 70 years old (he doesn't look it), and said he didn't really trust his eyes and steadiness of his hand to do double stripes any more.  SO, we ended up with a single black stripe, and I'm happy with it.   We'll see how it looks when it goes back together....

Now to pick a color for the pinstripe....

Black and Gold........Black against the Orange and Gold against the Cream.....or vice versa.

Or.....Black and Gold to seperate the colors and then some tasteful Black and Gold hot rod style pinstripes to tie it all together.  Stuff like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=pinstriping&newwindow=1&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=saxHVbbYHoSZsAX9xIC4Bg&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=675

Or you could go with a more modern twist and go with a lime green pinstripe.

  ok I want so much to help you so I'll take that drifter shifter off your hands and we can mount it on my bike before we head to Drift In.

I do really like the colour of the tins.......awesome....

SO I have a little progress to report.  Parts are coming in, and I'm getting some stuff put on.

Got my wheels powder coated black, with an ivory stripe.  Michelin commanders.

Some stock black parts from a 2000 for the fork covers.... and some more yet to go on.

One of Ted's Drifter shifter's ready to bolt on.

Oh, and the tins are done at the painter....    Waiting for some pin striping.

And, no, that isn't my Grand National.....
