"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Whatever you pick, gotta say you have awesome photoshop skills.

I attempted to try some different color schemes using GIMP, but ran out of time and patience.  ;D

Hey guys,

No progress to speak of in the real world, but I've still been mulling over color schemes.  I was looking around the Radical Ducati site, and found some inspiration from a few of their amazing bikes. 

http://www.radicalducati.com/index.php?page=home

Here's what I came up with.  Most hyped on the white tank with the crazy stenciled Ducati.  I also hastily lowered the headlight, added some clipons and rearsets, and wrapped the headers.





Also, a red framed version in case I ever got crazy and completely disassembled the bike:

Red trellis one close to perfect, very clean!
Not sure about the logo, though.

I agree.

It's too large for a Monster tank.

Humorless, I'm glad this thread got your attention.  Frosty Finishes is on the top of my list for tank repair and painting.  When the funds are available, I'll be sending you the work.

As for the font size and placement, I really liked the following Radical Ducati:





Granted, the 749 tank has a massive, generally flat surface to work with, but I like how the font wraps around the different planes.  I'll do some pre-vis with a different tank angle.

I've been quietly watching.

Keep in mind it doesn't matter what any of us think...even though we'll all put in our .02...

it's your bike after all. ;)

This one gets my vote. The logo is different enough to be odd...but also oddly interesting...I like it.  [thumbsup]
