Well after the crash of '07
the '08 version of my bike needed some touch ups to cover scratches...as well as things I didn't like (shiny things really) I painted some last night...it seemed like a good idea at the time now I'm not so sure.
The trouble with having a bike unlike anybody elses is that you have to take risks and don't ever really know how things turn out till you try them.
The idea...give the flat black some 'gold' accents, not shiny gold, but a textured sort of finish. Here's the results. I will actually put these on the bike as they are now, even though right now I'm not crazy about it. Maybe it will grow on me.
keep in mind the tank is just sitting there and still needs to be painted flat black again...am waiting for the weather to improve so i can do that outside.
