I like all the flame styles, but only for a while. I guess that's why I always think about getting a custom paint job, like something for a while, then tire of it. Likely the reason that the bike will always be black.

Real flames look like a kids plastic toy from Walmart to me, look like stickers.

who knows 10 years from now we'll be talking about 'old school true fire' paint jobs...lol. nothing ever really goes away 100%, just fades in and out of popularity. I know for myself, I will always love flames in just about all variations.
