Off hand no. Maybe flames, or another design. My friend can make just about any design. As long as I can get the vinyl he can make it.

thanks for the idea. I've got a friend who have a little business in stickers and he do covering for cars, trucks and so on. I will ask him what he could do for mine, maybe something orange with black racing stripes... blue with white racing stripes...

I've done a lot of vinyl on cars but also racing stripes on VRods as well as some touring designs. The pic shows one I tried on a Street Glide, problem is they will peel if you don't clear over them particularly if they are intricate designs and not large flat ones. These graphics didn't last long at all due to the pointy diamond shapes. They were high grade auto vinyl and applied properly but cleaning rags etc did damage on the tips.

I'm having a tank done right now, with genuine HD decals clear coated over, but that is what I want, not a custom design. Stock Harley decals tend to be very thin, so once they are clear coated they blend with the surface of the tank, so I suggest that is what many of us will expect. There are probably custom decal designers already out there doing this, so you can take a look over their shoulders, so to speak!

Check with a good vinyl wrapper, they can make some crazy graphics, and just cover small sections, or all of the bike. I had several trucks wrapped for my business and after 4 years we simply peeled off the vinyl right off, easy cheesy, paint was bright and fresh underneath with zero residue. I thought it was going to be a difficult mess, but it really wasnt.
Is that a wrap on the fairing??!? That looks great! What'd it cost to do that?
Oooops! I just realized that this is one of Formula One Tinting and Graphics designs from their website... I'm going to email them and see what they charged...

I had my ol sport bike wrapped, it looked awesome and you couldnt tell the difference until you put a hand on in. I think if you wrapped the whole thing it might work, but not if you pieced it out... jmo
