Very nice, and you have the added pride that comes with doing the work yourself. I'm betting it looks better in person and maybe when I'm home in April I'll be able to see it.

For some reason I keep seeing your bike solid orange in my head, and I'm not much of an orange guy usually (see avatar for likely explanation

).

As for the original poster's flames, I like them better without the outline, but I think the design is great.

I have a friend that says the same thing. He built a Factor 5 Cobra and it was nuclear sunset. It's a good looking color but not for me, here's a link to the car on another forum.

No idea. I see something that catches my eye and it replaces the previous thought. I do like the green you used though. Your color combination really pops and just looks right. If mine turns out half as nice I'll be tickled.

So it was a scorching 37 degrees today which enabled me to put the tank and frt fender on. I'll do the rear fender another day. But here is what it looks like...I also installed ( a few weeks ago ) a complete set of bars and tach assy off a friends 06 Screamin' Eagle Fatboy.and internally wired them ...
