That's a cool decal.  I went with the War bonnet  decal without any name.  It was an option to have Drifter in the decal or find one with Indian in the name.  Just wanted to keep it more neutral but have something on the sides of the gas tank.  Looks good either way.

:)

I haven't seen Indian decal before, is it called "War Bonnet"?
Where can I get them?
Thanks!

 ;) beside the fact it might clash with your colours it might not allow you into the Grand Bend Kettle point area...lol.....

But they both look awesome.

Going to add this decal to the side of the tank...found on ebay, coming from the UK.

I like the color - as many have said, it toes have an antique flavor to it.  However, if it were mine, I would want to 2-tone it....   ;D  but that's just me.  I do love a 2-tone bike.

But I think it does need some pin stripes, though, IMHO.  I'm terrible with coming up with color ideas, though.  Mrs Greenbarn recommended bronze accents.  I like PC's ideas too.  I'm a red fan...  maybe a dark black cherry red??

  Honestly I would just add some pin stripping to it to break it up a bit, nothing really fancy and nothing really overly bright to take away from the looks.

We had freezing rain last night and shut the TC down north and west of here for a good couple of hours, you know it is bad when the TC is closed.

Hard to imagine it...but the colors seem to work nicely.

A gold and black pinstripe would be cool looking.  The gold would play off of the antique white and the black would be a nice contrast.

This is way too busy, but look how the colors play together on the off white background.

Add pin strip huh?...That may add something to it...have to mull that over awhile.

I'll have to wait for a clear day to have a closer look. I thought it looked more whitish outside tho.

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)

lol...my wife doesn't think so.

The "amp" is a bar fridge...a gift years ago. Holds 48 beer!

The Cobra is a replica...ford 347 stroker. 360  rear wheel horsepower on the dyno (we figure about 425 at the crank). 4 speed toploader with a 2.91 ford 9" rear end. 4 link suspension and coilovers. It is a blast to drive!!

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.
