That style of lettering in Gold Flake with those colors would look seriously cool.  It would also tie the bike together with a retro type feel with that gas tank and seat.  And the Frame of course.

I'm a little jealous.  and by little I mean a lot.
But I need Tacos!  I need them or I will explode!

Thanks Rachet, I'm still back and forth on the gold frame.. I'm thinking the gold frame with the bronzeish tins, and same frame paint for the lettering would look sharp!

Wow your chopper is pretty cool. First time I have seen your thread. Wish I had stumbled on it sooner. Do you have a link to the website that sells your frame?

Great looking chop, maybe my next project. Awesome seat, suits the frame well. The lettering you showed would be VERY cool, as stated above it has a 70s retro look to it.
You know you've achieved perfection in design, not when you have nothing more to add, but when you have nothing left to take away.

Thanks for the pics and video.
I sure would like to see a close up of the headlight mount.

When i saw photos of your bike, I built one with the same frame.

The stance and the paint design remind me of Yoshi's from the Garage Co. Nice.
