Re: SuperChicken III Custom Paint, Link to JPEGs
Thank you.
Mickey of MadMic Customs is a talented guy with very good taste in graphics design...I basically turned him loose, with only three qualifications: that the graphics enhance--not overwhelm--the lines of the VTR, that the tank bra be taken into consideration in the design of the tank graphics (the tank bra keeps the almost-essential leather brief case that I carry from scratching the tank), and that there be no images of death--no cliche` skulls or old school, hot rod flames.
Needless to say, I'm quite pleased with Mickey's elegant understatement and his artisitic sensibility.
By the way, not surprisingly, one of the bikes that Mickey painted won a first place trophy at a custom bike show at this year's Daytona Bike Week.
cheers,

By the way, I'm the knucklehead who lost the rear mounting screws for the running light. (Thus, I temporarily have "ram air".) 
I'm about to ride over to Home Depot to buy replacements, and the blue anondized lens mount bolts, like those mounting the windscreen, should enhance the already-spiffy front fairing.
