paint indecision
« on: December 11, 2007, 12:41:31 PM »
I'm not sure if this has happened to anyone else but I'm getting my tank and sidecovers painted in the next couple of months and can't decide on a paint scheme. :( :( :( :(  The problem would be solved if I had about 5 extra tanks laying around and a couple thousand dollars so I could get them all painted different and switch them depending on mood.  Is there a place on the web that has a ton of different paint schemes to look at in one place.  I've looked at the forum gallery and Bikepics.com but need more inspiration.  Thanks for the help.

Are you talking about stock colors, or complete freedom?

I like the stock schemes but maybe change colors up a bit, but I'm not against complete freedom.

I'm thinking you better post a recent pic of your Harley. I think you have been hiding something from us. ;D
