What are your thoughts? I'm hoping to be picking up a 78 CB750 that's already been converted to a nice looking cafe racer, and was thinking of paint. Then an idea for a theme hit me. I've seen bikes done with army green paint and army stickers, bikes that are all black with skulls all over (not the ideas I'm thinking of, just examples) etc. I've seen enough bad taste them bikes to know my taste isn't THAT bad, mine would be nice! (my opinion tho) :)

Anyone go beyond the basic sold, two color, or pinstripes?


(I want to get my hands on the bike before sharing my idea...talking to some artist friends of mine for the paint, some model friends of mine to pose for reference photos, and getting quotes to see if my idea is even in my budget! It would be cool to have a bike I could not only ride, but maybe show also. Don't worry, my idea doesn't involve the typical multi layer high gloss "show" paint job....or chrome...god I hate chrome!, it would be some custom images painted over a base color is all)
