I LOVE THIS BIKE. So I can't stop rubbing on it, staring at it, or messing with it. Decided to ad some subtle color. For now, maybe forever, I am pretty happy with the striping and feel there is no more I should do. Pics dont do justice, but I think the red around the windshield darn near completes that end. Very happy with the fender (It was my second design attempt). THe tail I think is broke up nicely. Can take or leave the stripe on the black fairing insert. Overall very happy. And Yes, I have considered doing the rims, but not right now. My goal is to NOT "cartoon" this classic like a modern sport bike. Your opinion may vary but thats the nice thing about stick-on pinstripes. Can change em at will. I will get some daylight pics tomorrow probabably. What daya think?

Needs more pink. Definitely changes the look of the bike without being too gaudy.

Hey now... I had tried some red over white on a spot and from ten feet away it did look pink.
