My white Ultra needs a make over!

I like this idea, but not necessarily the colors. How can I make his work with my white that I already have?

Ozoneman, you haven't owned the bike long enough, IMO, to get past the "looking at your own bike" phase of ownership. At some point in ownership, you may discover that you are more interested in riding it, so accessories that make it safer and/or more enjoyable to ride will transcend cosmetic changes that you don't see while riding.
Shoot the inner fairing; swap out the stock gauges with SE spun aluminum, or SG silver/white face gauges; change the seat; add chrome controls; install speakers in the fairing lowers; swap out the cams/build a strong 95" motor; etc. Do the things that will make the bike better AND that you can see and/or feel while riding.
If you want to paint the bike, I don't know how easy/costly it is to eliminate the pinstripes.
It's your bike; your money; do what pleases you.

Custom paint is the highest impact modification that you can do to your bike. It will also give you the most satisfaction of any modification. My Road King started out as a red/black color and it is now cobalt blue with black and silver ghost flames. IMO you should stay away from murals for resale purposes. I also prefer custom paint jobs to leave off the Harley logo's, everyone already knows that it is a Harley anyhow and just distracts from the paint job. Here's a few pictures of my RK...
