Thought about the scallops, but liking the flames. That Exile bike is exactally what I had in mind, Just a little color in it.

Flat black with flames in orange red and yellow with blue pin striping. That is my choice for old school. Scallops are really nice too and you don't see them nearly as often but it is your bike. Keep the flames simple. Nothing tribal.
The more I think about it the more I realize how many choices you have. Maybe another color for the flames would be cool. I am really of no help here at all.
