I think this one has got a tough, almost Gothic style with class that goes best with the flat black !

I have the 61/62 era badges and think they would look great on your bike.

If I went this route, I'd repaint the horn cover to match colors.

Good Idea, but how about if you have the horn cover skull red on the bottom changing up to orange flames, think'in that would blend in the red from the bag and TP lights ?

My choice isn't listed. I'd do a bar and shield in red, to match the coloring on the horn cover.
