I like what you said earlier "a take it or leave it paint job". I'll take it!! Always been partial to checkers. Nice job. Looks right. If that paint job was back in the 60s it would fit right in.
Fresh Paint Job
Here are some pics of the take-it-or-leave-it paintjob.

I love it personally... Of course I'm a little biased considering the hours and dollars I've put into it.
As far as the decals go, I got 2 of the cafe racer decals from Carpy (side panels) the Rockers decal straight from the Ace Cafe (back of the 2-up seat) and the emblems on the tank I had cut out of vinyl here locally (as well as the checker stripes), so it all means something to me. For the checkers I tried to mimic the new thruxtons, needed something to break up all the black (It was either that or a triple stripe).
Like I've said before, this isn't a racebike... But it's not a showbike either, just the way I wanted it to look (other mods include uni filter, 4-into-1, reverse megaphone muffler... a good carb tuning to come in the next couple weeks).
Comments Welcome.
