Thumbs up Pinstriping - what do you think?
I spent last Saturday morning watching a guy pinstripe my bike. It's amazing how easy he made it look. Here are the results.

Hogowner,

Thanks. Don't mind at all; $300. I think it made a big difference. I've dropped that much on chrome pieces that did not.

Sorry. Pictures are a little small. I haven't got the hang of resizing things yet.

I love pinstriping. I think it gives it a bit more flare.

Looks like he did a great job. Did he freehand it or stencil it. To watch those guys freehand is almost worth $300 itself.
