Default New Shop Mule with the pictures finally

Well our latest "shop mule" a '95 FLHT is getting closer to completion. We picked it up out of a barn where it set for four years, yes they still exsist. Running gear is almost done. Six speed, 120" Ultima, everything "blacked out" with chrome bolts looks sharp!! The body panels got their color(California sunrise yellow pearl)and two coats of clear shot an them last night.
Now all we have to do is figure out what we want to do to this blank canvas. We were tihnking definetly "ghost" of some sort as we do not want to hide the beautiful color. Perhaps flames, panels, tribal, traditionalor maybe scallops?? What do you guys think???
OK broke down and bought a camera this will give you an idea of the color. Right now we are leaning toward white ghost flames, how about some feed back so we can see what the popular opinion is??

I would think that would be hard to see over yellow. I would go with black tribal pin stipes over yellow. Either that or a retro two toned racer paint scheme.
