[Hoist!]

Rob,

I wasn't going to jump in, but couldn't resist.  I think everyone cringes at the thought of repainting any of the CVO bikes from anything other than original.  With that being said, I can't imagine anyone not being blown away by the incredible paint job that Chief has accomplished on his SEUC.  Bottom line is that most of us buy these bikes for the enjoyment that they provide.  Few things put a smile on my face that comes close to rivalling the one I wear after a great ride.  The time we spend polishing and admiring them comes in a close second.   The enjoyment achieved riding the bike and piling on the miles, far exceeds any desire to keep the bike in collectible status, if it did, then I'd be keeping them in the garage because bikes with low miles bring better numbers to collectors!  The time most of us can muster to enjoy our bikes and riding experience is a precious commodity that I for one can't put a price on.  If custom painting your new ride puts a big smile on your face, go for it!  Indeed, there are some collectibles out there, but if we spend all of this money on these bikes as collectibles and forget to enjoy them, then we are all the biggest hypocrites out there!  With all of that babble being said, I believe the Autumn haze has some brown or taupe in it and the black, in reality would not look right.  If you're going to do it, get some House of Color paint chips in the sun with your bike and do something amazing.  Most importantly, enjoy the new bike.  If a custom paint job helps you enjoy it more, what are you waiting for?

Now Craig comes in here as the voice of reason and common sense.
You make a real good point Craig but wait till we get thru messing with Rob and finish the important talk about the Stinrays!
Why do you always have to be so practical?

I had one like this. Only I don't remember the handle bars being that high but it had the shifter. And it had the metal flake seat. I'll see if mom can find a picture.
