I would like a #1 with Diamond cut cyl and heads please  :pepper:

The chrome powdercoat looks like the motor has been polished. Ded not know if that was not enough contrast. Haven't seen one like that, they always seem to be polished with polished covers.

Looks to me like a Chrome V twin will really pull that baby together-can't visualize the jugs being colored to match the frame-

I agree Capo. There IS such a thing as too much of a good thing. Too much red tends to overwhelm .

If the motor is still apart, I'd send the cases and jugs and heads out to be polished and then Diamond Cut. Same with the trans case.

Unless there is nothing else but the constant color-that may be cool!

Have you looked at an translucent powder coats? The bike below has an antique copper over the chrome, I don't know if there is anything close to your color, but is comes in a variety of colors.

That blended frame neck really looks sweet. :2vrolijk_21:

As for motor color, I happen to be a fan of stock black wrinkle powder coat with a thin coating of engine oil seeping from under the jugs.  :huepfenlol2:

As far as the engine color, I agree that staying with one of the primary colors, chrome, will really set it off nicely. You'll lose some contrast with with diamond cutting, but it will really set off the frame.

Looks gorgeous.

You can always chrome the cookie sheet and diamond cut the edges of it, that would look good setting under the bike catching the oil  :D
