Thank you, this makes sense . I couldn't put my finger on it.

You're right it is too busy in raw. I did the brown seat because I didn't want too much black. I did the pipes in beige to match the seat (again not wanting too much black), I have brown grips coming too and may do some brass accents.

I will do a beige distressed logo on the tank and see what I think.

 

I like raw

 

The flat black looks good, but I agree that it looks a little washed out when in conjunction with everything else. I'm a big fan of the raw, I'm contemplating doing it to my 48, but ONLY if you do the rear fender too...

Like this bike:








and lose those damn reflectors! haha

Thats just my $0.02, just sit and stare long enough and you'll decide yourself. Do what you like the best, at least with the 3M it can be removed relatively easy.

 

Agreed. Raw.
Has a nice balance throughout

 

I agree that if you do the tank in raw you need to do the rear fender, too.

 

Before you do anything else, how about popping those reflectors off?

 

 

Matte Red go completely hot rod

 

I'm digging the raw. Either way, great looking bike!

 

If you're on the fence, I say leave it black for a while. If you get tired of it, take the wrap off of it. BTW, I'm glad to see you got your seat on there right. Scoots lookin good.
