M-179
H-D SportSter
[Variable Gated Leaf Scallop]

Custom paint job on the tank and rear fender of a custom SportSter.

A Harley logo using barked leaf.
Simply “H-D”

The scallops are arranged in a spiral pattern.

A rib is molded into the center of the tank.

The ribs provide an accent and balance the otherwise flat appearance of the leaf blades relative to the tank’s surface area.

The variegated color is layered with candy yellow and smoke to create a deeper hue.

The owner’s trademark ladybug.
Although a small detail, it makes a big difference as an accent to the single-color rear fender!

The combination of the rib shape and the barked leaf design makes for an interesting paint job.
