So wife came to pick up paint. With and we jointly decided on a burnt orange metallic....ok She decided and I agreed this way I can blame her if the bike looks silly when its back together.
She reminded me that if I went to crazy with the paint then with the way I ride I could be putting a huge target on the bike.
This paint is BRIGHT hard to even take pictures of since its so busy with the metallic. Still need to finish the tank and add the pearl white stripe down the center of the bike. I will do a re-assembly and mock out the lines with bike together because my little pea brain is mushy from trying to think about different design ideas.
Finished paint scheme will have approx 4inch wide stripe down center of bike from nose to tail...including the seat(s).Then 1/4inch lines outlining, similar to old muscle car hood's rally stripes. Passenger seat will be removed in favor of the single but I will still cover it to match just for when the mrs wants to come along.

some addittional goodies.....
And a CF front fender to match it together.
gotta love CF when its done right. I really should have cleaned the pipe. Its dusty but in great shape. Shouldnt be able to tell its not brand new after a light buff job.
Ordering a tripe tree set from the bay to clean up the headset. Possibly a new rear set just because they look so frickin cool.
