For inspiration Dan, check out these galleries............our kinda custom bikes and custom paint..........but no stupid ''splashed on'' $10,000 blobby jobs.....

Also, I find that spending a day or seven going back through my stash of old bike mags is a great inspiration for paint ideas.....

I've seen these in a custom catalogue, for HD's. I'll take a look tonight to see if I can find 'em

Dan, how about just getting them pinstripped? it may make them pop a bit more as it were! If not then you could always go for the rattle can matt black look mate!

As for the pipes, Paughco make some the same as that as well as a few others, custom chrome, storehouse and Zodiac all sell them. Cocktail shakers i believe they call them. Had some a few years back that i was going to use on my shovel chop but never did, must have sold them on as i dont have them anymore!
