Vinyl pinstriping?????
Don't all yell just yet. I have always looked for pin striping ideas for my EG Standerd and never commited to anything because it scares me to think i may end up with something i don't want. I came across a cool site, http://www.purpleharley.com/pin_stripe_accents.htm that offers vinyl striping at a low price. Anyone ever try these or scene them before i buy them and make a febile attempt to dress up my dresser, not that it needs it, but looking for something fresh.
thanks to you all, and will spring ever get here

I prefer these guys, http://www.twistedchrome.com/ multiple colors... more my style. I put some gloss black ones on my flat black rat bike.... quality stuff, stood up to Texas heat and the occasional wipe down with NO lifting on any part of it at all, been on there a good 4 years, still, no issues.
On my RK hoewever... I'll be going with the real deal.

Of course it's your bike.....................
But if you want to do it right, find a traditional pinstriper. They love to do Harleys.
Tape is cheezey.

OK...I'm an off base traditionalist who can find all posts above having merit, BUT, It's your bike and you must do what you're comfortable with. If you decide on a vinyl pinstripe to see what it will look like, but not sure if you want to keep them, by all means try it! From there if you want to go permanent, then do so because you'll want it protected by a couple of good coats. But if you're the one who constantly wants to change his look in striping, then vinyl might be your way! Some decals you can clear coat that works well. Some you can just wax over. Make sure you know wha you're buying. CAVEAT EMPTOR!
