Hi Greg,
Personally, I don't think you can beat the classic black and silver look. Either that or black and bare alloy, but not polished, I think an alloy tank once it's been allowed to dull down a little looks great.
I believe that the paint and color scheme should reflect the bike, in your case it's a cafe racer so the paint scheme should be stripped to the minimum just like the look of the bike.

All the best

Got to agree, you cant beat the classic Manx color scheme. I still dont mind that green framed version I posted, its different and still retains appeal! To me anyway.
