So I've just ordered a new tank for my 98 Honda Shadow ACE, which is a little clean-up project of mine at the moment. This is just a simple suggestion thread.
If you had a cruiser to paint, what would you do?
+100 points for pics
Also...Remove the front fender?

Rainbow stripes to go with my black leather chaps.

meh... ;D
Yeah, I hear people that go that route are overcompensating. But it's just a rumor......right?
You guys and your darks..... [roll]
;D
I'd find a good airbrush artist, pick a general color scheme & theme and let him/her go wild.
Just found this while wondering the web....thought it was rad...

and with all that leather ON the bike, I bet you he doesn't wear any when he rides... Oh well...

I saw one of these at the dealership the other day... I dig the black/red. Not the flames so much, but Matte Black with some red accent. How hard is it to get the engine black?

Just give it to me for ten minutes. ;)
I'm not wild about the dark idea on a bike that big. You'd look like a moving black hole. Candy apple red with silver accents, says I. Maybe ... MAYBE ... some flames ghosted in but they're so cliche now that they'd have to be super subtle and not some opaque, yellow or neon colored "tatoo" type flames. Less is more. Right Nate? ;D
