I am having mine painted now. I am putting the 1990 fatboy logo on the tank. I cant wait to get it back. The 07-09 logo sucks. Looks like a clown did it.

Ghosting is an excellent idea. I'm not a flames guy but I like the look of the ghost flames on my bike. I wish they were a little more subtle. Whichever logo you choose it is going to look great.

I really like the skull but I think it will get dated. The bar and shield is classic. Go with the B&S.
