    Thanx Rossik and Visiteur! That's Mr Bean!

    Ok guys need some imput so don't sit back. Please chime in.

    I moved the WER swing arm decals back because shocks were blocking them.

    Now, looking at everything. Maybe engine guards should be polished instead of blue? Yellow?

    Now, look at the porcupine head. I don't think I like the blue? Maybe all yellow, with tips of fins showing the aluminum?
    I think natural the work will blend in? Or just do center in yellow like I have the blue?

    Engine guards should be polished, not blue or yellow. I would try the yellow on the head first including the tips. However, before you change color, you need to take the bike outside in the sun, shop lighting sucks, then decide if you don't want the blue. Aesthetically, I like the blue, but in your shop with the shadows, it really does not stand out. Really like the chrome swingarm!

    Yeah, the blue in the head kinda gets lost in the shadows. Sunlight would help. I'm normally not a big fan of yellow but that might make the head POP especially with the other yellow accents on the engine. I would liked to of seen the whole head porcupined. I like the edges of fins aluminum. I think the engine guards look good blue but polished aluminum always looks good. It's a home run already....awesome machine.

    Sheet! I got so much paint on this head that gonna have to strip it and beed blast it again.

    Yellow? Just is not zinging? Black, no! Cast iron grey, is not bad! Here is where I shot it in Ford Blue?
    And I can accent the fin tips? Or leave well enough alone?

    Had to take cylinder out in sun cause shop door is frozen!

    i kinda like the blue head with bare fin edges, and perhaps also bare where husky machined clearance to access the head/cylinder nuts.
