Default Pin Striped Flames

OK... honest opinion PLEASE!

Spent the afternoon at Zylstra HD in St. Charles, IL (live band, all you can eat pig roast all day for $5.00, and a whole bunch of sweet rides in the parking lot).

A couple of girls had there "Hand Paint booth" set up and since I got there early... I was able to get this done by the end of the day.

Looking to differentiate my Vivid Black '05 Ultra from the other 10,000 I see... I wanted to add something outside of all the chrome I've added (engine upgrade and true dual or 2:1 in winter 2009).

I was really impressed with the look as were my riding buds and wife... but I get home and my 2 sons (19 and 16) hated it.

I know as long as I like it, that's all that matters, but I wanted to get some HD Forum opinions.
