Frankenbike

Nope, just me, installing a Sportster tank on my Norton...

Sorry for the digression. Another nice day for outdoor painting!

Hey Pete, it’s really nice out. All my painting is done for now, think I’m going to take the dogs for a walk in the mountains.
 
This is the color is was going for. It’s brighter than what I have but lighting makes a big difference. This bike is well lit, mine is in a dark basement.

Now you can see why I suggested a gold logo.

Makes me think I have to paint the side cover red.

What do you guys think?

I like the Red and Gold combo. It's my second favorite.
If it were my bike it would be BRG.
Yellow is playing it safe, Silver makes it look like a car.

Just the right amount of gold accenting will make or break it. Just my opinion of course.

What is BRG?
 
The red is growing on me.
I think the number plate has to be white.

Red has the disadvantage of rapid bleaching by exposure to sun rays. You will need to park under a roof most of the time if you select this colour. If that's your intention, then go for it!

Just caught up on this thread...

FWIW I vote for the red, I think it looks great and will look even better with the fairing done to match.

I would do the side panels red too if it were mine.

Gold will work with the red if that floats your boat, might look a bit ‘showy’ though. White stands out very well on red, might be worth a thought...

Fast Eddie, is that your bike in your avatar? Would love to see more pictures.
 
This will get me abuse....

Have you considered the Dreer tank and seat unit for your project?

I actually like the Gus Kuhn tank that I have and I’ve already spent a considerable amount of money on these parts to go a different direction. But I really like his bike.

Also I am going to paint the fairing red as soon as it arrives. I’ve been going back and forth on the side panels. I’m leaning painting them red also. It will give it the dimension I’m looking for...I think...still not 100%.

I bought gold stickers. Might see how they look. Can alway go to black or white.
