No way man....."scrolling" isn't out of style. It may not be something you see all that often. I guess if scrolling is out then, in reality, dagger style striping is out too. I am not a big fan of the "curly Q's" but they have their place for sure........

Looks OK on trucks, but not on my ride. Just different taste I guess.
I'll pass.

wether you like it or not, you can't deny the artistic ability involved...I wouldn't have any scrolling on my ride either, but can still appreciate it...

Ok DarkTrak, I finally figured out the Picture prob. Anyway, I'm not a pinstiper by any stretch, I have this on both sides of the forks. The picture is wrong angle, but it looks pretty cool (ill post pic of entire bike later). Of course you have to keep in mind that the sled is SLAMD (thats my lisence plate # also lol).
