Ok I looked at all the pictures, not sure if it is "yellow" but what colour was the paint called?
I am thinking that your lights do not help with the colour either. When you ride to Toronto for the bike show I will be able to tell better.
An example a lot of people tell me my bike looks more orange then red, and the colour is Sunbeam Red. Perhaps after 16 years the colour may be fading towards orange, but in person it is red and you can see it, but the pictures tend to bring out the orange.
But I do like PC's thought it is "antique" or an ivory colour and I also like it, at least try it for the summer.

Was suppose to be fallon brown...or close to it. Appaerently it came out yellow when he painted it, so he just kept adding shades and reducing til he thought it was good. So...don't know the colour name. I'd say an ivory.
Ride to Toronto...lol. Although it's been nice enough to ride lately.

I love it!
Very close to what I have planned for my Drifter.
I do think it needs pin stripes though.
Subtle, not striking.
Black or white stripes along the fender curve perhaps?

Looks good.  I would also consider powder coating the wheels either a contrasting or complimentary color.

Looks clean and vintage.  Hows the color in the sunshine?  Any antique, cream or off white has yellow hues.  You could add a pinstripe on the fender line curves for a little pop or accent point.

Ya know what?  Forget the bike for a second!  What's up with the Cobra and the Marshall amp?

You suddenly just got much more interesting!  ;D 8)

It has an "antique" look to it.  I like it!  It fits the character of the bike.

Just received the tank and fenders back from paint. I'm putting it back together and I'm second guessing the color. The more I look at it, the more yellow it looks. My wife loves it, she says it's very rich...I'm not so sure. Just looking for some candid opinions. Attached is a couple of pics...more in my gallery. Please let me know.
Thanks.
