    trike themes.

    How do you guys come up with your trike themes? Im trying to plan out a theme for a 200x. Ive got an idea down but im not sure how it will turn out. And im always running into the what-if questions. Any tips on coming up with some kind of rough draft or layout on what it could look like when its finished?

    Most guys come up with "themes" just by going off of things that they like. If their favorite color is green, they might paint their bikes green, and run green plastics. Sometimes it's for the better half, and thus will come out an appropriate color for them.

    i just liked changing it liked having a new paint job all the time it was all black then red/black then i made it look like a 78 yz125
    then i copyed the ww2 harly then black and green ive always liked black with a bright color makes the little stuff stand out.
    and its funny when people think i got a new bike. id like to see a trike black with bright orange and blue parts

    what i have in mind is buying the black maier fenders, painting the tank black. buying the white air scoops, redoing the engine black, and putting some green engine enamel here and there on the engine. and the wheel hubs, frame, and swing arm would be a high gloss green color. along with all that polishing anything else thats metal. im thinking it will look awesome. any thoughts?
