wrench; I'm a pretty decent painter of things like living rooms. Everything else I leave to the pros.

Funny you should ask Doc. I thought about getting a stripe on the tank when I got the tail piece done. Then I thought I'd like the overall look to be kind of low key, let's just do the tail piece and see what it looks like when it's all put together and then decide. Didn't help at all. Now that I see it the way it is I'm if anything more undecided. I wonder what the KZR hive mind thinks?

This little worker bee will buzz in:

I love the size of the pinstripe & want to see more but think that you've done a great job so far with the design & decisions so it's your call of course.

I don't seem to have the left brain capacity (or is that right brain?) for making good esthetic/artistic decisions. So back to boring hive work for me... :laugh:

I vote for a small pinstripe on the tank. It'll tie everything together. Small and tasteful like you did on the tail.

For all of you who have been wondering what I look like (i.e. nobody) take a look at the right left mirror (still can't tell my left from right). As you all know about photography I couldn't possibly have posed that, my head is perfectly framed in the mirror image, just bullshit luck. Bonus the camera covers up my ugly mug.

My vote is for a single green line that follows the crease on the tank up to the neck. It would really pull it all together IMHO. Your bike is looking awesome!
