    Sounds rather nice =) Can't get my head around the swirl though, I do like a little bit of chrome, not all over though.
    It's an XV1000 converted to chain drive

    Tough as fuck styles all the way. Matt finish all over, with enough chrome to contrast it.

    For the colour, fade from one to another front to rear. Or if you wanna be different, do away with symetry and fade it from one side to the other.

    Strip the paint.

    Pinstrip a pattern on the sides of the raw steel tank.

    Put something meaningful in airbrushing on the top of the tank.

    Clear coat.


    Raw steel.


    Or paint it black with no airbrushing.

    Those are the only acceptable colors a chopper can be. It's in the bible.
