    I like the idea of spitting the Husqvarna lettering Yellow on top , blue on bottom , especially if you can get the split line to match the ones on the stripes.

    Not sure about the angled stripes, not enough white to break up the stripes. I may try a same width yel/blu stripe under the numbers...

    Another thing i've done is take a picture of the area you want to stripe & bring it into Paint (program) or any photo modifying photo program & mess around
    with in there. I get some ideas & bounce them off the Wife or my daughter's, woman usually have a good sense of what matches.

    Look awesome so far, really sets you bike apart from the rest.

    In taking another look, I think the blue and yellow stripes should be solid straight lines across the entire top, then each husky letter should be blue on top and yellow on bottom, obviously the intent is perfect color match with blue lettering on top with yellow background and yellow lettering on bottom with blue background.

    Agree with Rufo, the angled stripes not quite working.

    Somewhere on the bike I think you should incorporate the very old husky crown logo. Make it very inconspicuous such that only husky lovers would recognize it!

    I rekon you should strip the side plates off totally and fabricate a couple of alloy guards to cover the exhaust / shock mounts. let those big shockers hang out in space.

    Ok, I'm listening to you guys. You guys big help.
    I had some regular blue and yellow vinyl but don't know where it is after 25 years!
    Ok, let me go get some blue and yellow electrical tape. Great idea!
    You think it will stick in -14 degrees ?
