Actually the OP got me interested in "Always flying forward" well I am certainly not a artist, nor do I want to be. But there are plenty of artworks found with Eagles flying either left or right. So I doubt there is a norm. Too each their own, I like the graphics(1 sided was a big screw up, IMO), The clean black out works well also with the thought. From what I see I just do not care that much for the Split Green Pea Soup color. I think HD Scorched Orange would have worked much better. But we all have ******** and Opinion's

I think the design team was laid off or died in 1955. Not too much has changed design wise since then.

So maybe you oughta whine about it and they’ll change it for you.
Seems to be the norm anymore.
Used to be you could just say it’s not for you and move on.

I saw this same bike at the dealer this weekend.

I must admit, I like everything about it. I think I may have preferred the bird on both sides, but I like how the graphic goes from tank to fairing.

I love that color. It just jumps out at you (rather you like it or hate it, it for sure will make you turn your head) and has depth beyond most colors I saw that day.

"Pretty sure that's the Affliction package - I think it actually comes with a pair of bedazzled jeans and a couple DVDs of some really old UFC fights."

OMG that right there is funny. Not a real broad audience to appreciate that joke, but still funny as hell.
