Decals - ok for the beer fridge in the garage, the toolboxes, ATV's and the dirtbike.

For an HD - only paint...

Me too. I had a sweet decal (cleared over) on the fairing of my '07. Used to get a lot of attention. Pissed off my buddy all the time when his custom paint job was passed by so they could look at mine.
