Paint scheme Ideas and graphics. Photo chopped this indian peanut tank on my bike. Really wished yamaha had a cooler emblem. Thinking of powder coating the frame semi gloss black and tins (tank/fender,forks and fairing) a matte black with some type of design on the tank like this. Let me know what you all think.

I like it. I really love the lines of this bike!! I think the fairing is a big part of it.

Thanks Pre! It's gone through quite a number of design changes but I think I'm finally happy with the overall layout. Hardest thing now is coming up with a color scheme

Yeah I love that indian graphic. It's killer. Wish there was a universal tank decal like that. I think the black tank with white graphic or pinstripe will match the white walls nicely.

Who's clip-ons are you using, or are they one-offs?

Found them on eBay. They're plain vintage style clip-ons.

I think you really nailed the look here. All you need to do now is mount up those other wheels with the speed holes as I think they would fit the look of this bike which screams speed to me; Nice work
