Custom paint job

Batman is my fave character.  The dude's awesome.  No super powers, just strength and brains.  

Now this is gonna sound like a critique, and it's totally not, so apologies in advance, but...

Why does batman have the yellow chest shield on the sides of the bike but just the black bat on the fairing and tank?  Are you intentionally paying homage to two different artists?  I know batman has been done both ways in the series and the books.

I wish I could see it in person.  The paint looks like it would just jump out at you.
Very astute observation.

That, indeed, was an excellent observation. As a matter of fact, you're the first one to notice.

And your guess is correct. The one's without the yellow background are in homage to the original Bob Kane style Batman.

Feels like you should win some sort of prize for noticing that.

Good job bro!
 
Here's a small idea. Love the paint scheme.

You could get something like this, or have something made. REMOVE THAT "MUZZY" plate off the muffler can and put a bat emblem.

Good job bro!
I know what my prize is. How about you let me see it next time I'm in IL. No clue when that'll be though so I'll take a raincheck.

I love the idea of the bat symbol on the pipe; that'd look shweeeet
 
lots of work in that ride. i think i would be afraid to ride it and scratch the paint
