Tank Wraps
Has anyone here ever looked into putting a decal wrap on your tank and/or fenders, as opposed to new paint? I want to to do away with the stock HD tank decals and striping but I love the paint job and don't want to ruin it. I'm thinking long lines of old-school flaming for tank. I've looked online for some ideas, but nothing has come up.
Thoughts?
Oh...2 months and 6 days til TIGER FOOTBALL 2007!!

RE: Tank Wraps
Sorry, I haven't, but I do have a worthless $.02 thought.
If I ever messed with my tins I'd buy used ones on Ebay and change them out. I'd save the originals for resale.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that bikes without the original paint suffer on resale? When I see that, I figure maybe it was wrecked.
Anyway my $.02 isn't even worth that much, so do as you think best.

RE: Tank Wraps
I hear ya, actually thought about doing just that. Thing is, I really like the factory coloring on the OE tins. Like the H-D dude told me when I signed for the bike..."Congratulations for making a down payment on accessories!"

RE: Tank Wraps
ya know... this may sound just a little strange, but when I got my bike, I bought a spare set of tins (take-offs on ebay). Got 'em painted and put those on the bike and still have the originals in case something bad should happen, or when I sell it I can put the originals back on and it'll still look mostly brand new. Glad I did, too, apparently the tank for an '05 WG only fits the '04 and '05 from what I've been led to understand, tins for other models won't fit
