Go to a rally and see what they have.
I had Dan Kite do mine.

How much is the ballpark cost of something like this? Looks awesome.

This is what I did to my 14 king. I used auto pinstripe so if I decide to change color it's easy to remove.

I'm thinking it was $350-425.
He worked on it over 3 hours.

You need to find a striper in your area ... Check out a few of the local rod shows, cruise nights and check with a few local body shops ... then you've got an idea of whats available and what the costs are in YOUR area

lionsm13,

I also have flames on mine, but yours is about the best I have ever seen. Very nice.







The Phoenix bird is because the original bike, a 2012 was totaled and I replaced it with this 2013 exact copy.

Bill

Thanks for the compliment Bill. Yours looks good too.
Did Dan paint yours too then or?
Dan Kite and his son come up here(Sturgis) every year and make a killing($$$$$) off of us guys, lolol.
They hit rally's in FL and other parts of the US too.
Nice to be a decent artist, self employed and make $$$$$ like that.
They do well.

Pin striping, like tattoos or mods, is a very personal thing, what might look good to you might turn off any perspective buyers down the road. I considered having my old Ultra striped in honor of a family member who passed but decided against it, who other then myself would want a bike with a personal memorial on it. Lions bike does look great though, very discreet and blends in perfectly with the colors. Good luck in your choice!

As my name states I am "Santa" and my bike theme is Christmas her Name is "Believe".
Here is her striping. I have a guy that is an awesome stripper named Larry "Smudge" that I ran into at a rally and had him do the bike
