Default Subtle paint ideas

Getting tank and fenders painted soon, but would like to get away from the original flames on the HD Rocker tins.
Anyone got any examples of something subtle that I could get painted on?
I'm thinking maybe a pinstripe or graphic, without going all skulls and crossbones....

Cheers
Steve

Think this design as an outline, like pinstripes, with both "flags around the logo in red.


Or this #1 design in red on the black tank.

Remember a tech guy at a Harley dealer I went to, when I mentioned I was thinking of getting a paint job he advised me to stay away from murals because they are to personnel and make the bike far harder to sell when the time came. Personally I went with a black and blue marble finish.
there’s a few ideas here that may help you decide.
