Default Bike "Decorations"

Curious what personal "decorations" everybody rides with. Aside from traditional handlebar tassels/tank badges/decals type deals.

...I cant be the only Star Wars fan on a Harley

Interesting. I do not have anything like that. Movie, music likes. Many many riders promote their obsession with skulls. Some with their support of our flag, vets, POWs etc. I have a feeling this thread will take off in those respects as people like to show off.

Personally I have done a few very minor things on mine. See pics below. My engine guard chrome on my Dyna started peeling so I covered it up with the Latin emblem on one side and then matched it with a slightly smaller sticker on the other side. On my Heritage, I wanted to cover up the holes exposed where my previous owner removed all the plastic "chrome" trim. So I got creative with a fridge magnet on the rear and license plate bolts on the sides. I will purchase the regular OEM replacement trim pieces for the front fender

“44” is a storied number at Syracuse University. Worn by many top athletes in, and various sports. Names, such as Ernie Davis, Jim, Brown, Floyd, Little, John, Wallace, etc., etc. And yes, tons of fine scratches. Being polished out end of this month.

So when I was 15, I bought an ironhead. The tank was decorated with a big mural which included a naked lady. My step mother was not impressed. I would post a pic of it here but I don't want any of you to get all kinds of ideas and pass right out.
