Super color, now that the sun is out.
Now just to button everything down, add some missing pieces, and try 'er out...(Finally).

Ehh. You've provided a few BEAUTIFUL examples of a paint scheme like no other. I don't feel like this matches your full potential. Honestly, I think it's kinda boring. Don't get me wrong, I'm not dogging u, but I've seen your previous work, and just feel like this was kinda just blah.1979 XS1100F

I'm inclined to agree with you Ian. In terms of finish quality, it far exceeds anything I've put out, so I'm still in a little awe over it, especially with how well it goes with the gold frame. It still needs something though. I'm thinking of blacking out the bottom of the tank from the lower edge down to make the tank appear slimmer on the frame, and some sort of pinstripe for the transition. I think the real change will be when I pinstripe the whole tank/seat combo. I'm the graphics/paint protection guy at a local Ford dealership here and have access to a vinyl plotter and pretty much any design I can create...thinking maybe a Yamaha logo done up like the Vincent one. Maybe creating crazy, radical pickup truck graphics for the last year has made me crave something more simplistic and clean this time 'round.81 H "Traumaha"

Love the color. Wish I still had my old Honda accord. Almost the same color. I did add purple accent and pinstripe which made it all pop. Wish I still had photos... Looks nice though80 XS11
Still a jigsaw puzzle.Comment

Would agree that something needs to be added to give your design a little zip. What is impressive, though, is the depth and shine of your paint. It's really sweet. Will be looking forward to the completed project. So far, so good!79 F

Beautiful
bike. I'd polish or chrome the valve cover, that tank makes the engine look small. I think the best looking engines were/are the 11 and the 650 JMHO76 XS650 C ROADSTER
