This looks like a great shop. Too many to choose from but I really like the #107 (8-ball/flames) on this site.

Hog...you've got a beautiful bike and even if you painted it pink it'll look great!

#1 get rid of that hyper charger or whatever its called. They are an abomination...
#2 paint the bike black with black ghost flames and black clear coat. Use black primer just to make sure it is black...

Good job on the fenders, Hogdiver96. I'm old school so I like goast flames and sun glow colors. I think whatever you choose, paint it loud, make a statement, like "look at me now" Good luck man, nice ride!

Lol...actually, I kinda like the stock paint job.

How about a "classic" black with orange and yellow flames? Nothing too fancy, just kinda "old school" flame job?

First off, the fenders and rear tire look great, much improved over stock. I found a paint job on the Attitude Custom Paint website that I loved. It was black, with a wide candy tangerine racing stripe going down the center of the two fenders and gas tank. There was a narrow silver stripe running along either side of the orange stripe for accent. I loved it. Looked really fast.

Cheers for input so far..........
07fxstc...i am getting rid off that Hyper-charger, i had that fitted at the same time as my pipes and did not realise how much choice was out there, its annoying and expensive to do it but not much hassle..ps Ghost Flames are my favourites so far....until i saw that web-site dannyfatboy suggested..problem is once you paint it you gotta live with it (unlike hyper-chargers)
Thanks for compliments on bike everybody, still gotta lot to do "wheels next year" just tough finding the cash to spend.
