Default painted the bike

so i painted the bike today just kinda a spontaneous thing...

no clearcoat and not as good of prep as i normally do... but i think the bike looks sick

this is just me throwing ideas around for what i want to do when i paint it with real paint and a gun...

need to reupholster the seats black leather and get new grips... plus going to bring the stripe all the way to the seat on the tail...

what do you guys think? i kinda integrated a few things i saw on other people's bikes

Love the stripe and always a fan of white and black two tone. I'd powder coat the gas cap black

I like the looks of it. Very classy in black and white. Definately black for the gas cap.
