Default Windshield vinyl
Got a friend that does vinyl & talked to him about doing some flames & this is what he came up with. He is going to do a silver one for my clear.

So what do you all think?

I did something similar in flames a few years back. I didn't last, looked like crap in less time than it took to install it. Didn't completely adhere to the lexan seemed to always shift position. Hopefully there has been a upgrade in material.

I'm sure when you go to wipe the bugs off this summer you might have trouble.
On the clear one, mount it on the inside.

Vinyl decals have been around for some time but as others have said, usually dont work too well. Ive seen chrome stuff used on show bikes. Once 3M made a window tint specifically for boat plastic windows, no idea if its still around.

But...we own HDs so its cool to fool around with different things to make our bikes different than the rest.

Definitely digging the look. Hopefully the vinyl holds up and works out for you.

The color is a little darker but I was impressed since my vinyl guy only saw my Harley once & not for the color.
