Thanks for all the replies
don't forget about the cleaning !!! if you're going to try and keep those www as clean as white paint, you're going to have a lot of work ahead of you.

Nope, not that hard at all. I wash mine twice a summer and they are still pearly white. Or, you can let them stay dirty....uh, I mean antique white.

I just wish I could photo-shop, I have a lot of ideas.

Something you may want to consider is finding a local sign shop that does wraps. Get them to print out a section of material to match the color you want and then you can trim a fit it to your bike. This would allow you to actually see what it would look like on your bike and if you don't like you peel it off.

Isn't there a photoshop section of this forum? I think they have helped many with signature pics.

I like the cream also, but I think a light gold pearl/metallic would look great too. I would also do a bit on the bags and front fender while you're at it. Not too much, just enough to carry the theme through.

Well, I am mostly a guy who likes a solid color on my Harleys with a little pin striping in a different color from the main theme.....so I had a black cherry Wide Glide and with the chrome add ons ....I had on it ..and now my son has that bike....It is still an awesome looking motorcycle according to the guys he rides with in the Phoenix area....and I agree since I did the add ons and chose the color to begin with....LOL
