I like the concept, very cool cafe like bike. I would go with 00 or something for the number, or better yet and HD 1.

new concept pic, updates :

white oil tank, fork gaitors, brown leather grips/seat, stock AC

this might be what the final thing looks like, minus the 7, its just a placeholder. I like 1 and 27 is growing on me.

i feel the number is the personality of the bike, not any little thing i can slap on there, it has to look right, not out of place.

hopefully you guys know what i mean, on some musclecars or such where the right number just helps the whole look!

I think that is a great idea! for the white shoot it with appliance epoxy from rustoleum, hard as hell shoot real easy out of a rattle can and just needs buffed... clip ons are an awesome idea... you should put "The Ton" on the side of the tank in the decal if your are building a cafe... that was the goal back them to do "the Ton" (means hitting 100mph)... eihter that or you have to go wiht 13 man... good idea, now do it...
may be cool to use a mat white and then high gloss on your stripes... or hell it would be really easy just to shoot both cloors in mat (denim) you would not have to clear it or sand to much for painting your frame you are going to want to simple green the **** out of it to clean it off... then sand it down... use a self etching primer, then layer your rattle can red. then clear the hell out of it with some laquer clear... you will be good to go... if you need any help painting or doing any of the mods let me know... i love building garage cafe's and you can do it so it still looks great!
