I like the orange as it is, and I am partial to the green too. If you go green, try a color from ford called Electric Lime Green. It's a bit darker and metallic. Very deep finish. I had it on my Mustang and it was awesome. You also see the same color on some '05 Jeep Wranglers. Can't think of the color code right now, but it's worth taking a look at it. It really stands out.

How 'bout flat olive drab (army jeep) for an Old Skool Bobber look? Betcha a gunmetal grey would look cool too!

He'd probably pay for a new paint job just for the variety

Try throwing a red or white racing stripe down the center... or maybe just off center... Yeah, blue and red are the other two acceptable colors, IMO. Hey, it's your bike!

Hey mine is yellow and I'm keeping it that way for now. I just did it in photoshop for you all to look at. I like the orange too, and am surprised that I like the green as much as I do. And I'd only go with the blue if I can keep the green brake light. White and black are two good colors too, but I was just changing the hues, thats why you get the purple grass and funky colored brake lights.

Thanks for the thought about setting it up, as you mentioned in my thread (which probably should be deleted and we'll folow along in this thread.)

I'm an old muscle car fan and the lime green reminds me of an old 'Cuda or something.

Did yours come that way or did you paint it yourself or have someone paint it. How much would be reasonable to pay? I really really want a yellow bike. I have a yellow mini cooper to match
