From what I have been told, there was a shop in Cali that specialized in paint job styles like the one in the attached photo-anyone recognize it? Also, does that front wheel look familiar? I know I've seen the design in the 90s, and am racking my crash damaged brain trying to remember where. Thanks for any guesses or knowledge you can toss out there!

good looking bike!

There are shops that I have seen with similar styles, cant think of names off hand though.

That is a job that I can do as well, done similar paint over the years with the primary colors and special effect flip flop paint.

If I'm not mistaken, those are RevTech wheels sold by Custom Chrome, Inc.   The were made by the now defunct Weld Racing.  Ray

  The paint kinda reminds me of a Ron Simms paint,,,early 90s styled....I have a ton of old Easyriders ,,,I figure I could find something similar.

Yep-pulled out a few old issues from the late 80's, and most Dynas in there were styled like this. I'd like to dump most of the chrome and have a simple paint job, but this bike is almost a tribute to an era, and I hate to change it. Maybe the kids will call me 'retro', and I'll be cool again. ;)

Seriously tho-I'll just get a different set of tins, and save this one just for shots and goggles.

That bike is definitely from a past era.  The paint, the excess of "ball milled" billet, etc. all make it scream early 90's to me.  It's a cool representation of a style that has sort of disappeared.  Of course you could buck the trends and leave it the way it is and ride it.

It has OMP triple trees...$1200 new. Holy crap! lol

I may restore it to its original 'retro' glory...mainly just rechroming all of the pitted chrome.
