Alright kids, I'm getting very close to finishing this thing, but am undecided on paint. I'm dead set on flat black for the tank, fender, etc. but the wheels/tires I'm still unsure on. Help me decide.

Maybe it's just the photoshop effect on the pics, but the black seat/black tank looks a bit muddy, espeically with that plastic triangular panel right below the saddle. I do dig the black tank idea though. The satin/matte Ducati uses on their "Dark" models is pretty spectacular and I think would look pretty good on your bike, a la



Also, and this may be too much, but what about getting the saddle done in a mild red leather, similar to Devo's bike? It would spread the coloration out and keep the eye from focusing on one point which with red wheels and white tires, would be the wheels. Shit, maybe you already have her done. I"m just living vicariously through anyone who has a custom build going .

Nice job!

My dad and were talking last weekend and he wants to build a streetracker, I hope that it turns out as nice as this did.
