The LS650's tank would look awesome painted that color ... esp. set off with WW2 style nose art decals or the shark grin motif from the P-40's of the Flying Tigers ... that would be wicked! Yeah, it would be wicked....

Here's mine. did the flames with flat black rattle can. i'm a novice at painting. masked it off with a roll of electrical tape that i cut in half long ways to do the curves. looks awesome and was super easy. took a little while, but i'm meticulous.

I really like the orange, white and black harley-esque theme. I was also thinking of doing the shark nose art the next time i paint it. There are some great ideas here! keep them coming!
