Go with your first choice, red. Personally, I like the blue flames.
+1 for the blue on black

Badpiggy,

Actually here in Colorado I don't see much custom paint on baggers at all. I never see the red flames on black ever. I liked your paint job. What are you changin to?
Frame, floorboard brackets..entire bike.....getting painted House Of Kolors Tangelo Pearl, main color
It'll have some flowing stripes going from tank to side covers to saddlebags...those colors will be black, platinum, silver, grey
Saddlebags were extended as well as the tank, and running a Klock extended rear fender and the Klock skinny front for 21" wheels, handmade (by ME) saddlebag filler strips
Dakota Digital gauges, Performance Machine hand controls for baggers, PM hydraulic clutch...and theres other crap in the garage for it that I can't remember.
All totalled, I'll have more in the money pit than I'll EVER get out of it...but hey, least I'm not out buying meth or crack, RIGHT?

Stick with your first choice. It's AWSOME!!!! Second guessing will drive you nuts. They're all nice, but the red seems to be in a class of it's own.

Whatever you choose, you wont be disappointed in the quality af Attitude's work. They have painted my last two bikes and both turned out flawless.

Well my painter got the flu bad and can't even get started on my bike til next week. You know I went to a bike shop today and saw a SG with only the fairing painted with realistic flames with a skull. Should have taken a pic. It actually looked really cool with only the fairing done. What a bunch of cash that would save me. Here is the logo I might go with.

I prefer the blue versus the red, but it's your bike. Do what you like best. Agree that too many colors on a baggers many surfaces are overkill, if it were only a tank, that's a whole other animal.
