Thinking of Painting

So, I've done pretty much everything that I possibly can to my '07 FXST.....So, now I'm thinking about paint. I'm really leaning toward something like tangerine. Maybe a candy coat. I can't find any pics of bikes that color. I've seen a pic of a corvette painted tangerine candy with H.O.K. paint. It was nice. Thoughts?

Something more along the lines of this. http://www.kustomflames.com/images/DSCN0510.JPG
Not sure if I'd go with the ghost flames or not. Maybe just a nice tangerine kandy with some kind of logo on the tank.

how do you like the fatcats?,
Can you post your dyno sheat if u have one.. I am trying to see the difference of stock pipes vs the fatcats on low end, under 3500rpms.
Also if u have other engine work BB, cam, etc, can u let us know
I am waiting now for cams to come in but haven't picked pipes if any to change to yet...

I tried to load the dyno sheet, but the PDF is too large. PM me with your e-mail address, and I'll e-mail a copy to you.
