Default Tank Art

I've seen some bikes with unique artwork on the tank (and other places). Does anyone know how I can get a custom made decal for my gas tank? Also, what about air-brushing...is this very expensive? I'm trying to do some customizing on a very low budget!

if your doign the work your self airbrushing is inexpensive but you wantto makesure your skills are up to par. depending o nwhat you want done air brushing can get expensive fast. as for custom decels just take an image file of what you want in as high res as possible format to your local sign shop and give them the dimension and they can get you sorted out

i had the one in this post made for $20 https://www.hdforums.com/forum/6404737-post100.html

Was planning on painting my hard bags this winter, got the airbrush and can paint pretty good, but if I can get decals made of my stuff then i would only have to paint it once, Thanks for the thought NSC.
