Too me, your putting two different paint schemes together that don't work out mid way trough flowing from front to rear of the bike.,

Your mock up photo on the bottom doesn't work for me, JMHO!!

As the saying goes... "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", and personally I think it will look awesome!

If you compare all the 2017 colours, the black & red one has a reverse paint scheme compared to the other three, and all he's doing is making the back end the same as the other three.

Like I say, I think it will look awesome when we see the complete package put back together, but for now it is a wait & see situation.

To each their own.

On a more personal note, as soon as I picked up my 2008 Anniversary CVO Ultra (Copper & Black) I felt the factory made a mistake painting the lowers copper, and almost immediately had them at the painters changing them to black.  Again, not everyone will agree, but I feel my bike now looks like it should have  coming off the line with a similar paint scheme to every other Ultra/Limited's scheme with the lowers painted the same as the lower side of the front fender, upper fairing and fuel tank.

As I went through all the posts I went back and forth no less than three times. On the red options. The green would not work for me. Seeing the finished product. I am sold! That damn thing looks much better. Hell, the factory should get with you and change the remainder to the way you did yours. I cannot imagine it hurting resale value seeing as you kept to the Red/Black combination.

Heck yeah... Nice job!

Wonderful improvement... Even though you flipped the colours halfway through the bike, it looks amazing!  :2vrolijk_21:

Enjoy & ride safe.

Nice!
Can you advise the make and model of your seat and how you like it?  Looks like it will take a backrest as well.  My factory is okay for short runs but on trips it kills me.
Thanks
