Great job on this bike! Really like the trick seat mount as well as the other body work. What paint color did you end up using...is it a match to the stock T500 blue or a different color?

CJF.......that colour on the Titan Performance bike was chosen by the customer, he wanted a Harley colour that he had seen....but we couldn't get the paint. The colour was the closest match we could find to it....it was Teal Sunglow or something like that ! It's a pearl colour, as is the white stripe, and to be truthful the pictures don't do it justice !

Fatboy.....I really like the "purposeful tough" look of your 500. I'm just starting a refurb on my other T500m, and I too am opting for naked with flat drag bars, although I shall be keeping the stock tank in stock colour....
I'm interested in your oil tank, is that a one off you have made, or is that available to buy? We are using a similar item, with the filler on top, only accessible from under a hinged seat, which I like, but it's not easy to hinge every seat.......

Where did you get the tank you used on JT's bike? It looks like a TR500 style tank, but doesn't have the sump that goes between the frame rails.
