A OS number board or even just a plate bracket on your tail light would be cool! 8)

I was going to update my sig line, but I'm not seein' anything worth plagiarizing right now.

I'm thinking satin paint but still not sure, I'm leaning towards olive green with creme pinstripes

How about Olive Green with either Red or Gold pinstripes. I dont think cream would compliment the green as well. But thats just me.

A cream side panel does look great, I thought we were talking pinstriping. Those tanks are perty

I have a smaller one I was thinking about putting on top of a rear rack. They sell various sizes of those at the local army navy surpluss store here. I had a similar thought for mounting one on each side of a bike like that. Kind of a theme like Pee Wee's Rat Rod. A full decked out cruiser like his but weird stuff on it. like the bullit boxes., and maltese cross mirrors and little dead animals.

With a matching paint scheme I think those would look great on your bike. It is coming out SOOOOOO nice.
