Default Opinions please

I have the 08 Fatboy anniversary and I was thinking of running the same color scheme along the front and rear fenders as either a stripe or flames.

Black flames outlined by orange pinstriping.

I was thinking it might bring the whole anniversary scheme together.

Opinions please and even more importantly, any recomendations as to who could do it in NYC?

Thanks,

Bobby A

WOW I never noticed the Fatboy fender was plain. I attached my pic of the FXSTC with a stripe. Just my opinion I'm not sure the scheme will support flames. They may seem out of place. Then again maybe fine.

I think you need to go with a black fender and orange flames. Too much cooper on the ann edition.

Orange pinstriping against that copper color? Maybe it's just me, but that don't sound like it would work. I'd be tempted to say go with black ghost flames without a pinstripe, and if you want it pinstriped around the edge then go with a dark bronze color. But that may be just me.
