If you like em go for it! Your bike your ride don't let someone else decide what you like!. I am not a big fan of decals...kinda look tacky to me unless they are on a window.....or a pair of moon eyes! Now something custom airbrushed onto the tank would be cool......but ...insert big sigh here ...much more expensive

If fire comes out of your eyes, your brain is on fire. They would look cool on a t shirt

I've seen a Harley with some airbrushed artwork that included a bit of checkered flag. Checkered flag may look great on a crotch rocket, but, somehow, it just doesn't work on a Harley. If I were you, I would blow up the picture you have to the correct size, print it out, and use a bit of masking tape to temporarily secure it to the bike - then step back and look at it - if you still like it, go for it. You may like it as a decal, but once you see it on the bike, you may change your mind.

They maybe able to photoshop it in for you here. I've seen some really cool stuff done by some of the members here. I think once on up close it will look tacky since it is a decal, but hey, that is why they make menus. Remember it's your bike, if you like it don't worry what anyone thinks.

Not my style... but, as someone said above, it's your bike man, do with it what you want! Don't worry about what anyone else thinks about how you or your bike look...

man up.
