My tank will stay black and my frame will stay red. What colors and design would you do? I need some inspiration. Photoshop or draw me something cool that i can paint or something you have seen.

I have been looking for weeks for something and just have not found IT.

You can't go wrong with bullet hole stickers, chrome faux vents, and a big brahma bull decal. Be sure to add neon lights and a lowering kit. 13" chrome spoke wheels and oversized chrome exhaust tips will also help. Top it off with the name of a Mexican territory emblazoned across the windscreen and a Calvin sticker pissing on Donald Trump.

Now that is inspirational!

A lot going on in that suggestion:p

Would the below be a pretty decent take on your suggestions?
Graphics: Calvin peeing on the Donald as my bulldog tugs on his perfect hair with Calvin saying your fired.
Colors: Red, green and black.

Anyone else?
I like the all black with red frame, wheels and accents. Are you going to try plastic dip?
Ok, real suggestion now....

With a black tank and red frame for race fairings- go silver with airbrushed rivets and seams where the original panels would connect, with the tiger mouth from a P40. You can put the eyes where the headlight would normally go.

Get some of the remove before flight tags for your tire warmers.

You can put tiny Japanese Flags and Iron Crosses on the tank every time you beat the respective brand to first place.

I'll be using a paint gun. If I decide to sand down the tank then I would do a complete paint change and would probably pick some neon color. This assumes the paint won't cost me $500 alone.

My wife has been pretty supportive so far; but I can tell she is starting to get a little jealous of all the money going towards the bike and not towards her:violin:

I was just goggling bomber graphics and came across the following. For some reason I'm drawn to WW2 era art work. Actually artwork from that period in general.

If I keep it all black with the red frame, I have thought about Maurin Quina on mid fairing. This is my problem, I have to many ideas, but only one bike. :)
^^^^^^ Love stuff like that^^^^^

Wonder if I would need to paint the fairings white as compared to black which might wash out the graphics?.
just get a vinyl decal printed, put it over the black base coat, then clear coat with UV rated clear
