Title: Stripe placement?
Post by: m_melen on March 14, 2013, 10:59:53 AM
Howdy all, I am in the process of repainting the bike as the original paint has gotten gross and chipped. I'm thinking a nice white stripe ( possibly with a pinstripe on either side of it) would look good. I mocked it up with packing paper, let me know what y'all think. Ooh, maybe even a double stripe...

I think offset left with a pinstripe would look tough

I think that would be a great look. I'm a big fan of the white stripe on a red bike or reversed with a red stripe on a white bike.

Pinstripe it is. Just gotta decide if it's gonna be centered or left.
The entire knee relief on each side of the tank is gonna be black
