Well parts are ordered and the hard tail is ordered as well.
Checking out colors of paint for the Bike and the engine and fuel tank.
I'd like a larger fuel tank but tell I get the hard tail in it up in the air.
Like to go with a gun metal gray for the frame and tank and finders.
Also like to get some decals to clear coat over and not paint on the all the graphics. Any one got any ideas.
Or web site to look for good decals or graphics?

I love the idea of gunmetal grey frame, tank and fenders. Guy I used to ride with in the '60s & '70s named Charlie Tuna had his knucklehead chopper painted like that, really looked tasty.
I think an FX Harley tank would look really good if you want a bigger tank. Check out these bikes...
This one belongs to Growl from Nevada City.
Got this one off this site, put up by no1outlaw...looks like a Suzuki Intruder 800 front end and Amen Savior frame...
Are you planning on any rake or extension?

No it is a add on hard tail. But it will look as one when it gets done.
