Okay, so Im on the fence about what style to do the original Sporty tins in... Here are my four ideas I'm kicking around; keen to hear others thoughts on these.

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

Hi Tussuck, I’ve not followed the rest of your project so I don’t know the style of bike you’re building but well, here goes…
Option A, I reckon would suit a bike with a springer front end, preferably overstock and slightly raked but maintaining some lift with upswept chrome exhaust and tall sissy, yep, a straight 70’s chopper.
Option B…to my eye is more a bobber style, fork gaiters, fat wheels, big spokes and bronze engine, control highlights etc, maybe even bronze spokes.
Option C… is back to the chopper style but it’s quite organic so maybe 2” overs, z bars, tan engraved seat, ducktail guard, wrapped exhaust etc.
Option D…is it’s own piece of work where the rest of the bike could be blacked out, plain gloss black frame, guards, engine, all black, “maybe” with chrome exhaust and just those panels popping in the sun making them a real statement.
Man they’re all great styles.

And a Kuryakyn Hypercharger will look great with any of those options.
Really set it off . Give the old girl some V-twin performance !!

I was thinking of twin Kuryakyn Hyperchargers.... One on each side of the bike.

Cheers... Its good to see other thoughts on things. I suck at design and every time I suggest something my more sensible artistic half - the wife - points me in the right direction...lol

I would choose D first, B second if it was for my bike.

I like B but perhaps a little biased.

I also like duller colours with only a bit of bright stuff for contrast. Taste is so subjective eh

That looks pretty good! Needs Yellow/Blue/Orange Kandies and flake though...(I may be a little biased towards bright in your face colours)
