Default Painting just the fairing

Well the guy that was supposed to do my paint job last week has been bedridden with the flu. I was bummed but have been checking out all my options. I was at my local motorcycle shop the other day and saw a sweet Street Glide with only the fairing painted with some flames and a skull. It looked freakin awesome. Sorry I should have taken a picture. I am really leaning towards doing that now. Anyone know of some cool places to find some great skull or skeleton designs. I went to badasspaint.com. They have some cool stuff. I want to find a good design that has the skull above the light with his hands to the sides of the light. Anyone have some ideas for designs?

Check with the photoshop section. Some real talented guys there! I am sure they can even put it on your bike so you can see what it would look like..

I was really surprised how cool it looked just having the fairing done. Badasspaint.com has some really cool stuff. Not sure if I want the actual grim reaper but the skull with the small skulls and the cloudy background I like. You should check them out here is some pics.
