Would want you to speak with him. He might know someone with a bike that color scheme or might want the front fender (that has both colors on it). I gave him the front fender off my wife's Deuce. His name is Lenni Schwartz and his shop is called krazy kolors (www.krazykolors.net/)

Sorry for not checking the site more often. Actually you start with the Gold bags from H-D and take those to your favorite painter for the work. You'll spend less overall.

CVOdude,,It is the gold inlay the 23K (I read that somewhere it was 23 not 24k) that worries me, don't u have that on the bags, or is it just paint and pinstipes??

[cvodude]

I went with Gold Paint that the painter (RIP Ron Morelli) did a great job matching. The Gold on the tank is 24kt gold leaf.

It is the gold leaf that I think will be the expensive part, if u can find someone who has used the stuff.

The gold on the bags is actually paint. The gold leaf on the tank can be found in art supply stores. Good Luck

I cant tell by the small picture but u have the same gold leaf on the fenders as well as the tank don't u? But do you have gold leaf on the bags as well? Sorry but I can't see in the picture....

I just checked and the gold trim on both fenders looks like gold paint, its too consistent to make me think otherwise. The only place I see that I can positively identify as Gold Leaf is on the tank. The pin striping on the fenders are too narrow an area to warrant Gold leaf, the tank however has a larger area and the 24kt Gold really stands out.

Don't forget to have the bag racks chrome plated, you'll be glad you did you decide to run without the bags.

My fenders have the same stuff (gold leaf) u can tell it is pieced together the same as the tank. But I see what ur saying, find a gold that matches and make it narrow enough that it would be hard to tell??
