I had a custom paint set done for my 06 Deluxe but I am having second thoughts about putting it on or just selling it and staying stock. Mainly because I think it might detract from the old school look. Just looking for opinions on whether or not I should make the change. I probably will just change it out for a while and see how I like it.

Here she is with the stock set:


Custom Set

 

i think the custom painted metal looks really good. i would keep them both and switch them out every some often and it would look like a new bike each time you switched them.

 

Not that bad of a idea. X mods with one set and X mods with the other set. ride a different bike each year. I bet you could fool folks at your work into thinking you've got 2 bikes

 

Stock. totally.

But I'm partial to my bike's factory paint, my stock paint is one out of 230 and they were sent all to Germany. I think only 5 "Silver Editions" remained in America.

Mimo.

 

custom paint is very nice
id go with that

 

i think some of you guys have too much money.......

 

The custom paint looks good, but has too much flake in it for a Deluxe, imo. I think it will take away from the classic look. Flake looks good on some bikes, but I've always felt the Deluxe is more of the classic FL look from the late '50s, early '60s. Solid colors or 2-tones look best, imo.

 

LOL from the guy with the 25 inch front wheel. j/k

 

I hear ya...of course the stock color is not really retro. If you step back 10-15 feet you really can't see the flake. Its pretty small even though the pics show it pretty well. In the shade you can't see it hardly at all.

Thanks for the feedback...

 

Thanks for all the feedback guys...still debating.
