I have to repaint the tins anyway cause I want to get rid of the pin stripes and tank decal. Does anyone know if I can wet sand the stripes off and just re-clear it?

The Denim black is not only faster....but MUCH MUCH cooler.

I think your paint scheme is great as is- but if you really have to delete the stripes (and you can only do that with a total repaint) then go back with gloss.

In the real world here - straight up just being honest - flat black will look like a home rattle can job, not that there is anything wrong with that, just sayin'.

Always been partial to the vivid with chrome...but then again I've seen a few bikes in the forum that have me second guessing...

And a better look is to look like the Drag Specialties book exploded all over your bike?

Straight up...just being honest...the only thing missing is some fuzzy dice and curb feelers....maybe some of the lady trucker mud flaps too.



Just sayin of course....hope your not offended.
