Check this out. PapaTod painted a tank for us. Believe it or not, this is his very first one. He free striped the custome flames. Pretty darn good if you ask me... Also check out the other picture in the gallery. PaPaTod's real proud of his baby  New Paint -brent

Those look good! The cut-outs on the tank were made for more than just knee pads.

Very nice, subtle and not too overstated.

Nicely done. Will he be joining us in Georgia to show it off? I also like the double slash exhaust pics that you have in your gallery. I think those would look great on an SM.

Very neat! Seat looks great too!
I notice the handlebars are not the standard SM ones - any idea what they are?
They look like the standard Bonneville's.

Nice! Nice! Very subtle yet adds a substantial look. I beginning to see a flames trend on the TBA/SM's. Hmm?
Ride On!

Thanks Guys!! PapaTod's real proud of his first try and very anxious to keep it going. We have another tank that we'll donate and see what he comes up with. Maybe some fat old school flames???
Bedouin - The bars are the Norman Hyde M-Bars. We carry them on the Bonneville site. I liked them so well on the Bonnie that I deciede to run them on the SM. Perfect match.

Yep, nice.. understated, fits the bike well.
I was thinking along the same lines, a "ghosted" Old Glory on one side and Union Jack on the other. Not too bold, just an eye-catching detail...
More flags
More fun!

Did todd finally break down and get a bike of his own? Or is this you bike that he did up?
