Default Two Tone Paint Help

I'm thinking about putting a new paint job on the bike this winter. Looking for some help with coming up with ideas for color combos. The bike is a Road King Classic. I'm really thinking that I want to two-tone the front and rear fenders too. I've checked out some of the paint jobs over at http://www.customflamepainting.com/ and I really liked the tangerine/black and silver flake/black. That being said I'm not sure either of these combos fit the nostalgic feel of the bike. Any other suggestions about colors or good sites to look at possible paint schemes. Here's a recent picture of the bike:

Like the front wheel - but ya need to get rid of WW in the rear (lol)... I myself really like the "Real Flame" look...

Flames & Skulls have always been a CLASSIC on any HD from the beginning...
Ya just need to make it "YOURS" and if your happy with the look... That's all that really matters!!!

The rear WW is on the way out. I'll be putting on a matching rear after Santa stops by.
