Black Ghost Flames!
Does anybody else have this paint set and are you satisfied with it?
Seems to be lacking and way to faint.
I know the idea is for it to be ghostly or faint but it seems to be way to faint even in bright sun light.

Oh yeah, bring on the pics.
I plan to do my ride with silver and pearl white ghost flames.
Just need the cash.

RE: Black Ghost Flames!
Trust me, there is no need for Firefox to post pics. Just imagine a solid black bike, with a nice bar shield on the tank.
Having seen this set in white and red, I thought the flame contrast was perfect, and being a lover of black bikes, I ordered one for my RK. And yes I agree: Way lacking and way too faint. But I am not so dissatisfied that I am looking for anything else just yet. I already knew going in that I would rather it come in too much on the subtle side, than on the outlandish side. My last bike had a way out paint job, and everywhere I went people would come over and start a conversation, "hey great paint, wow, that's cool, who did it? how much was it? where did you get the idea for that? I knew a guy who had a bike that with a paint job that was even cooler than yours, you should a seen it, it was yada yada yada, on and on and on. Sorry to sound antisocial, but I ride everywhere and man I couldn't get in and out of restaurants or the store or even fill up with gas without either having a 10 minute conversation or come of feeling rude as hell.
Oh hell I dug up a few sh1tty quality pics I took with my cell phone, in the bright sunlight, and just tell me if you can see a trace of a flame. One of these days I'm going to get her cleaned up and take some good quality pics, but try as I might I'm sure I will not be able to capture anything of the flames. Here goes:

RE: Black Ghost Flames!
I've had those tins on my bike for over 6 months, but I am thinking about writing a letter to HD for misleading sales material on the black ghost flames. Well, really just plain fraudelant. The product does not match the picture, and really they should give us a new product. In the pic they use for advertising, the flames are subtle, but they're there and can be seen. I'll let you know if I can find out who to try to contact. Are you interested in trying this with me to see if I can get them to straighten this out with a new set, like in the picture? I will gladly return the old set. Of course the real b1tch will be having to put them on again.
