Thanks for the support guys, but all support goes to the Men and Women serving.... Im a civilian contractor here, the state of Utah wont deploy my unit for some reason so I find other ways to help the cause LOL........

Ill be removing my tins already for some PC and apes..... and already have MIL SPEC, Tan paint with Radar deterrent....

painting would be easy, can do it myself or have a few buddy's who do paint..... money isn't really an issue.....

heres a pic of what another bike Ive seen, I like the Military look but with 2010 technology but old school bobber.......

I'd say either way would look great. If I had to pick I would leave it black. Have fun with it and return safely!

Not a big fan of the tan...however, painting the tins in that newer digital camo pattern would be pretty slick....

My thoughs on custom painting is in my 46 yrs of driving/riding every one of the custom paint jobs cost a bunch then when U go to get rid of them there a harder to sell and usually lose $$$ when U finally do find someone who likes it.....

Ur denim black it a premium paint to began with.. IMO leave it alone.

I think without a doubt that you should paint it as you've shown! It will be a 1 off and it makes it unique. People will take pictures of it and it will get attention. I personally think it will look bad ***!!!!

Be safe over there. In my opinion Id do a 2 tone, gloss black on the top with flat on the bottom of Tins and Tank. The Tan is cool, but I like Black
