Ok..... I have a Red Metal Flake seat with black sides I got from KBall a while back that I Want to stick on a Sears sold Bird Enginerring bike. The Bike is Real close the shape of a Bird Duck but with less rear frame taper.

That Being said.....

Its Kinda been hard to pick the color of the wheels, engine and frame to flow with the seat.....


What do you guys think of a White frame with gold wheels and gold engine?

What About a med metallic Blue Frame with gold or white wheels.

If I Go Blue frame I May want to go with a White Engine.
I Will be using a ohv 6.5 tecumseh I have taking up room..

Suggestions Wanted!!

Lets hear em!

I would think red seat, blue frame would look kinda strange unless you are going for a red/white/blue theme.

Red seat to me means the bike would also have to be some kind of red, how about a candy red? A buddy of mine powdercoats and the candy red looks awesome!

I like the blue with white, my buddy builds fixie 10 speeds and he powdercoated his bike dark blue with white wheels, it was incredible. he was also throwing around lime green with white or an orange with white, any two tone powder with white would be awesome, anything should look cool but I would stay away from the gold.

The goal is to for the color to flow with the seat.

I think of the red is a differant shade it may look bad.

Just the top of the seat is bass boat Metallic red. The sides and back are black.

As much as I know how plain white is it may be the best color to showcase the seat. I just wonder about the wheels and engine if I do go with a white frame......

Maybe get some burnished/polished wheels??

Well if the sides of the seat are black, and you want it to flow color wise, then the frame needs to be black, if you want the seat to stand out, then go white on the frame.

Engine would look sharp painted white with a taseful splash of red on the shroud and pinstriped in black.

Black/white/red go together very well.

If you know how to use a paintshop program, import a good side shot of your bike and play with the colors. Good way to try different things before trying it out on the bike.

Polished wheels would also look sharp.
