It seems like every year I always get the bug and end up buying another old motorcycle...I tell myself that im done with it but anyways.

Heres a cx500 i picked up about 3 days ago, so far ive only painted it blue and now im stuck on what colors i should compliment it with. I was thinking black stripes down the center or a brown leather strap down the middle of the tank. Any ideas? Just looking for something simple to do so I can get this thing on the road and avoid it being a winter project.


Current Mod List:
Cafe seat
VFR Front end (i think)
Chinese rear shocks
Paint
2-1 exhaust
pod filter 90/120 jetting

Future Mods:
Different grips
Some cushion on the seat
rear taillight
clean up the previous owners wiring

Triple stripe Silver or pearl white right down the middle of the tank and rear. White seat cover. Classic.

I like Thomas' idea, but I'd go with a wide center stripe, then a narrow stripe on one side only...asymmetric on such a simplified bike looks cool to me.
