Paint and emblems?!!!
So I shared with my fellow softail riders that I was considering getting rid of the Fatty and getting a Road King. After long and careful consideration.......I still haven't decided. 
I am not making a decision until I price some other things. I was considering buying a new set of tins and doing some mods/paint. If I do, I'd like to stretch the tank to meet up with the seat a bit tighter. Naturally, paint would come next. Here's two questions: 1) Does anyone know reasonable paint shops that do m/c work in Southern California? 2) Where do you find factory tank emblems?

Looks like I'll have to pony up and pay to have it duplicated in airbrushing the tank logo. Gonna cost a bit more than I'd hoped but it's gotta look right!!

This place isn't in CA, it's in AZ, but their work looks pretty good and they specialize in mail order:

Ironically I'm from AZ and go there often. However, considering how much they advertise in major mags and such, I thought they'd be much more expensive or take twice as long. Did they do your bike and if so, what was the turnaround time?
