and in order to be a lot queen, you would have to come out and ride first...

Would you paint the mid fairing gold if you did the wheels gold? and if you did chrome paint it red to match the rest the bike IMO

i'll try to find a pic of that later when i'm not doing hw... I just think it'll look meh at best. Have you ever seen a bike with the factory silver wheels... doesn't do much, oh wait the guy in your avitar has silver wheels...

the silver would be a near perfect match, and cheap since we have it in stock already, it would probably get a red pinstripe like it already has and the mids would get a tribal decal from the 07 raven someone photo shop it.

the silver is Meh.... unique but zero wow factor - 'lot queens' should have wow factor.
chrome wheels with the mid fairing painted to match the paint would be sick.
Gold would look like you were trying to hard IMO
ChRoMe...my 2 Cents.

Yes, matte gold ftw. And paint over that wierd looking silver tinman butt swipe thing in the middle. I would paint it body color or black.
