Sorry to hear about losing your daughter, I am sure that was very difficult for you abd your family. Making your SG into a tribute for her sounds like a good idea. There's a purple I saw a while back called "Soprano Purple"....

Definitely do it!! Nothing more special than doing something in remembrance of a loved one. Sorry for your loss, truly.

here is my 2011 streetglide painted Merlot Sunglow, which is purple with 3 different shades of flake and turns colors depending on the way the sun hits it. I got that color because it was very close to the color of my 07 harley F150 that is painted dark amethyst.

You just did honor her memory.........with this post + the thoughts in your heart! Can't imagine you loss, however, my 40 yo son going thru cancer treatment as we speak. Best wishes to you + yours, whatever you decide, she's already honored.

Here's an example of what I'm referring to.
https://www.easternperformance.com/pages.php?pageid=82

It is the owner of Eastern Performance's 2009 FLHX Harley-Davidson Vivid Black Paint with custom graphics done by Banshee Studios. I hope he don't mind me showing a pic of his bike.

This is what I would do.
