anybody thought of or has repainted their bike. I like to go to a Yellow look

I'm sure lots of people have thought of it, but I haven't heard of anybody doing it yet.

yellow? heh heh that's interesting. It would look ok if you powdercoat the wheels and some random trim items black to give some contrast. Never seen a yellow cruiser before (not counting choppers) so be a pioneer!

A couple weeks ago, I met a couple while on a ride. She's riding a custom painted Honda v-twin. The chips was, literally, a piece of bazooka bubble gum.

I repainted my M. Pic's in the sig.

Yellow can look good one a cruiser! Honda, Harley, Suzuki, and some others have used it evey now and then, and they sure stand out in a croud!

Honda Magna:

Custom:

V-max:

Harley custom:

Harley used a black and yellow two-tone on the Heritage Softail:

And Suzuki used yellow and white two-tone on the Intruder 1500LC in 1998:

That picture is actually a very clever optical illusion: if you stare at it long enough, eventually you will see a motorcycle.
