I saw one in gold metal flake the other day, that paint job looked pretty sharp.

I saw a wide range of new metal flake tins on the newer models, and I sure did like the look.

Nice bike. If you want it to look meaner I'd run the wiring internally, relocate the front signals to the front forks, and lose the fork reflectors.
