Default Rocker C~owboy

Hello everyone.
I have a love for the rocker, but like anyone else, I wont leave the bike in stock form once I get it, so I have been playing with photoshop a little.
The cool thing about that program, is the fact I can make changes before I buy anything, to see how I like it.
But this is most cosmetic changes, no hard parts yet.
Tell me what you think.

Used this stock picture to make the version I want to make below

Yeah, some people liked it, some didn't.
Its one of those things that draws a fine line with people.
I'm not so sure I will gold it this much anyhow, just playing more than anything.
But I will stay with the mural of the Clint Eastwood.
This scene is from the movie "The outlaw Josey Whales" I believe.



The one thing that will be harder to replicate will be the reupholstering of the seat with the tooled leather.
If you look closely, you'll see that the grips are the same way.
But these along with the paint is my favorite touch.
Im sure I'll find a skilled enough person to do this though.

Thanks for your input.

For the seat try Danny Gray, they seem to be willing to take anything on!

Working with them and Heartland to recover a Heartland seat in different leather.

Like what you did, nice colour combination, wouldn't try and go overboard on the gold, too much of a good thing etc...

I'll check them out, and thanks again guys.
As via request, here are two other pics of the "Rocker Cowboy". One with gold spokes, and one without any gold for those who dont like it so much.
Also I added an up close picture of the leather and tank mural.





Here is a new one I did of the Cowboy Rocker. Damn this thing has potential! Now just for the funds.

if i was you id go with the all gold look and do the turn signals gold as well or maybe even a copper color and some bullet rivets like jesse james does with some of his old school chops with the tan leather seat like you had there

Thanks man!
Eastwood is in the dictionary under the word "badass".
Although some would argue that it's Chuck Norris! lol
With all due respect and all, Norris aint go'n on my bike.
