You first have to decide if you want something permanent. Remember if you decide to ever sell your bike, someone else may not like the paint work.
Go to cyclegraphics.com I have used their product and it is excellent. They have flags to flames. The product goes on without glue, all you need is a hair dryer. You can take them off when ever you want and reappply when you want.
Hope this helps.

It all depends on Who you have paint it - there are many great painters out there that are somewhat unknow and will do you a great job at a decent price, then you can find painters with a "Name" that will cost you an arm and a leg - but you will have the bragging rights that "so & so" painted my bike - also be aware that a painter may give you a promise then you will find that your sheet metal is sitting for Months waiting for paint "ask questions first" If you are in the Northen CA area, I can put you with a good guy that will not rape you in the $$$$ and get it done in record time. Ask at your local HD shop - do your homework and get something a little different...

Personally I think the most tastefull flames are simple pinstripe flames, you could do it yourself with a cheap pinstripe brush & lots of practice with some pinstripe size tape layed out how you want it on your tins, my$ .02

Check out local Hot Rod Clubs. Usually there's someone in the group that has a contact with a pinstriper. Locally there is a guy at the community college that teaches it and he could pinstripe flames on a bike for a heck of a lot less than a custom shop. In some cases he may take your bike on as a 'demo' and use it to teach new students. The results may be the same but the price will be a lot less.
Good luck.
