What type of flames? Traditional, ghost, realistic, tribal? What color?
Traditional flames; Blue Candy over silver ( light blue). Flames subtle, not quite a ghost flame.

Weather has been a huge roadblock; first, highs in the 50s, then rain and high humidity, then highs in the 90s. But we're getting there.

First flame layer and LOGO. THe color is darker after several additional layers of candy. Color is less neon like and not so in-your-face. Paint is wet sanded so no gloss yet...

Thanks for a beautiful full flame job bro. its beautiful! Pictures do not do it justice. The chrome really makes the paint pop, or is it the other way around? I'm not sure, I just know I love the paint scheme! Might like it better over asphault....

Whoo hoo, after 11 months of repairs the bike is done, as you can see in my Signature Block. Better late than dead, right? Rides better than before (fixied the front suspension pre-load while the front end was off). It was kinda shakey the first dozen left hand leaners but its all back now (including the vision of skating off the road- it will pass).

Here's the final pics :
