Design

My vision for the bike is somewhat inline with the cafe racers from the '70s. I like the stripped-down no-frills idea, but I still plan on keeping the stock seat for now. I'm planning on a flat black paint job with these cut out of vinyl in some sort of silver or chrome color:

Once I get it running correctly I'll look into a couple little air filters directly on the carbs to get rid of the bulky airboxes, then pulling the toolbox and whatever else I can to get the stripped down feel. I'm looking at a flat black helmet to match the bike...I think it'd look pretty sweet with a tinted visor and decals that match the bike.

I think my inspiration for this paint job came from the car in the movie Death Proof. Maybe I'll go with something that looks even more like what's on the hood:
