RE: better pic
I like the flamed paint job. It should carry over onto the rear fender but doesn't look like it does, from that pic anyways. Front fender apparently a different color all together?
I think the addition of the flamed air cleaner cover was a bad idea, now have 2 different flame things going on. The mirrors, again yet another different flame theme, and downright butt ugly mirrors anyways. I'd go with some sort of billet style on the mirrors, the air cleaner I'd go something old school looking, or maybe just an S&S teardrop style. Something away from the flame theme, will make the flamed tank look that much better. Not really sold on the battery cover either, but if the other changes are made, then maybe decide.

If there are no flames on the rear fender, maybe do the front fender in the same color white as the front of the tank, then the matching red rear fender? Might sorta tie the paint theme together, worth a shot if you don't want to flame all the tins, just the tank.
Sorry I just don't like the mirrors. I'd dump em quick.
Oh the fork bag down on the lower frame looks like hell. In general I hate fork bags, but especially down there where anything in it will get soggy, now it's uglay AND non-functional, nothing worse than ugly and nonfunctional.

Fork bags look like purses. Like, what, you want a purse but don't want to get caught carrying one? Or a fanny pack. What's worse, a guy carrying a purse or wearing a fanny pack? Stop throwing your desire to be a man with a purse (or fanny pack!) onto your bike.

Sorry about the fork bag rant, I'm sure I offended a few people. But every time I see a fork bag I just think "Oh look, another biker with a purse, it's so cute I should ask him where he bought it!" [sm=bangbang.gif]
