Went for a design that was not to powerful, but different. Used the colors of Orange and Black with a tribal/celtic design.

KInd of going with a theme but preferr to call it inspiration:
I am going with style inspired by old time aircraft or "Art Deco' ish" I got the 62 Pan head logo, fender emblem, Python 2 into 1 pipes, getting Kuryakyn mini wing boards front and rear, Adjure mini lamps to be mounted on highway pegs, Alieron grips (heated) . Just black and some splashes of chrome.

Please post some pictures for the rest of us. I'd like to see what you've done to your bike.

I'm trying for '1965' with my bike.

Regards.

The theme of my bike is "Leave It The Phoque Alone" because HD design got this one right from it's dragbars to it's taillight.

Default RE: Does your bike have a theme?

I had this idea for a Theme Bike, kinda forgot what it was, then I remembered, but I forgot, what the intent was. I study the Bike from time to time trying my damndest to remember what it was I was trying to convey.
