I'm trying to figure out what to do in the back in case the state doesn't like the combination of those and Ryca's integrated taillight-signals.

how do they look in person? bright?

That's certainly a good price. I just need to figure out where it would fit in the priority of purchases.

I had the same dilemma and ultimately decided to pass and spend the extra cash on something else.

"Front" and "back" look the same.

candy dripp'n (revisited):
in my search and/or indecision for a paint scheme for my cs-1 i've come across some images for reference. these bikes aren't making it any easier to come to a decision, but they are pretty great to look at. i'm still wanting a dark color other than black but i do love some of the more hard edged racing graphics. retro color schemes are always great but i cant get that dark candy champagne color out of my mind...decisions! decisions!

metallic:

paul smith:

this looks like a wet oil spill-wild style:

vintage:

would love to see this bike pop a wheelie and get this sun rising:

this is the best paint job ive seen on a bike; the tones are well balanced and design follows the silhouette of the bike perfectly. i dont know if i could rock it but i sure could look at it for a long time. would love to see it in person someday:

heres a dirty quick styles mock of up cs-1 with dark champagne paint:

Have you considered perhaps a nice, rich, candied black cherry? I personally love this colour and think it would lend itself well to the CS-1, with all her gentle curves. The cool thing is that depending on where you shop for your paint, it comes in several different hues/shades/brightness levels, from burgundy to almost black:

Apparently Harley's black cherry is supposed to be quite good, too. It looks black but morphs to deep, dark red in the right light:

It looks to be fairly close to your favourite choice (dark champagne), at least in the same colour palette, and you could even take a queue from the green cafe racer with the sweet paint you mentioned earlier, and put a solid black stripe(s) down the center and fanning off the end of the cowl, following the contours of the bike. Would make a very subtle contrast. I think it would look pretty bitchin'myself but that's just my suggestion. Good luck with whatever path you decide to take. Be sure to keep us posted. It's looking pretty sweet so far.

that really is a nice color but is more on the purple end then id like to be. ive realized ive been using the term candy incorrectly and the correct term to use is pearl. so i think the color im going for is a dark pearl rose champagne- quite the mouthful. i like your idea though of putting a black stripe down the middle; maybe along the edges too? definitely worth considering!

all in:

what do these bolts have in common?

correct! they are all needed to mount the thumper to the savage frame. i wasnt planning on taking the motor out but i was only one step away and by one step i mean twelve bolts.

im all in and the motor has been removed from the frame and the swing arm disassembled. the frame cuts will be super simple and im even considering shaving multiple parts of the frame and then powder coating...this has now become a complete frame-up job.
