Photo is not amazing, will take more as soon as I can get out on the bike in the dry, but all the body panels are the same colour red!

It's missing tassles and has way, way too little chrome. Plus it's out in the wet/rain. So not a real cruiser then. What were you thinking? Wink

Rain? that's not rain, that's fine South Yorkshire sunshine.

You can't easily wrap tassels in waterprover overtassels to keep the fine sunshine off of them.

And i'm not an emascualted office worker trying to make a statement of badassery by adding leather pom-poms and shiny bits like a cheerleader in a fetish club.

It looks too dull with not enough shine or depth to me!

Is that a stock colour? seeing as there's not much bodywork/tank on it, I really think it needs a brighter colour to offset all the chrome work IMO.

Yellow, bright red, burnt orange etc would all be better than red oxide primer look! Laughing

It was the paint suppliers attempt to match stock. Not quite a match. I was going to say try again on those facts but then I saw the test piece out in the sun. Fenders have been that colour since feb, this was a repair on the rear fender, and paint and vinyl to the tank, and painting the rear fender insert to match.

Are you sure it wasn't what was left over from spraying the TAXI in the background?😂

I'm amazed it's possible to make a shite bike look even worse just by adding a top-box.
